Mag-Form® Screws
Mag-Form® thread-forming fasteners for magnesium die castings minimize debris generation in critical applications and solve problems often found in standard thread-forming screws.
Standard thread-forming screws with a 60° flank angle create excess debris when driven into low-ductile materials. These standard screws can also exceed material ductility limits, causing damage to the formed threads. Mag-Form® solves these problems.
Mag-Form® screws 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 airbag modules.
Fast Facts:
- Lobular configuration
- Wide-spaced thread design
- Broad flank angle compresses, rather than roll-forms, threads into the mating material
- Minimizes debris generation
- Forms strong threads in materials with low ductility
- Easily removed and reinserted for field service
