Mag-Form^®

Fasteners to eliminate tapping operations in magnesium materials with minimal debris generation.

Overview

Standard thread-forming fasteners with a 60° flank angle create excess debris when driven into low-ductile materials. They can easily exceed the ductility limits of the material, causing damage to the formed threads.

Mag-Form^® fasteners are specifically designed with a broader flank angle to eliminate tapping operations while forming strong threads in conventional magnesium die-castings and similar materials. The design also minimizes debris, making Mag-Form^® fasteners the optimal solution for critical applications such as electronics and air bag modules.

Features

• Lobular Configuration
• Wide-spaced thread design
• Broad flank angle compresses, rather than roll-forms, threads into the mating material

Benefits

• Minimizes debris generation
• Forms strong threads in low-ductile materials
• Easily removed and reinserted for service in the field
