MAGTITE®
Thread-forming fasteners for Magnesium
Further information
Our MAGTITE® fasteners tap and fasten in a single operation, eliminating a costly secondary tapping operation.
Magnesium is a light weight non-ductile material which is prone to galling, cracking or tearing when a traditional thread forming fasteners are utilized to tap a secure thread.
The MAGTITE® fastener has consistent lead threads allowing an easy start feature and a thread form which compresses the material promoting significant resistance to vibration loosening.
Other thread forming fasteners generate considerable debris as they attempt to tap into the Magnesium material; MAGTITE® generates little or no debris allowing light weight Magnesium to be used in applications previously not considered because of the requirement of the costly secondary tapping operation.
