Mag-Form
fasteners are specifically designed to
eliminate tapping operations while
forming strong threads in conventional magnesium die-castings
and other low-ductile materials, with minimal
debris generation. |

Wide-spaced
thread design |
| - |
Broad flank
angle compresses, rather than roll-forms, threads into the mating
material |
Benefits

| Mag-Form Fasteners Offer
Superior Performance Over Standard Thread-Forming Fasteners in
Low-Ductile Materials |
|
|
|
Standard 60º Flank Thread-Forming Fastener
|
|
When
driven into low-ductile materials, standard thread-forming fasteners,
with a 60º flank angle, create excess debris. They can easily exceed the
ductility limits of the material, causing damage to the formed threads. |
|
|
Mag-Form
thread-forming fasteners feature a broader flank angle. When driven into
low-ductile materials, such as magnesium die-castings, a compressive
action forms strong threads in the material with minimal debris
generation. |
