THREAD FORMING / THREAD ROLLING

MAG-FORM®

Self tapping screws engineered to minimize debris generation when tapping into conventional magnesium die-castings and other low-ductile materials.
Standard thread-forming screws 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® 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 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

          • Standard 60° Flank Angle Thread-Forming Screws
            May exceed ductility limit of the material, causing damage to formed threads

          • Mag-Form® Thread-Forming Screws
            Compressive action forms strong threads in low-ductile materials
          • Design Guidelines
            Sizes: MG1.0 to MG16
            Thread Design: Wide-spaced thread with broad flank angle
            Head Design: Can be used with any external or internal head designs
            Drive System: Can be used with all systems, including the TORX PLUS® Drive System
            Finish: Zinc and chromate to minimize galvanic corrosion
