The increasing importance of magnesium as a construction material requires
Cetin Civata ........................... 51 Sara Fasteners ....................... 43
an inspired pairing of materials when it comes to screw fastenings. Arnold Chatsworth Computers ........103 Schäfer + Peters GmbH .......122
Umformtechnik says its Alufast® aluminium screws have proved to be
Ching Chan Machinery .......... 59 Schröder Schrauben ............ 137
particularly excellent for making screw fastenings on housing sections, brackets
Classic Metallic ...................... 27 Shanghai Fast-Fix .................. 33
and stiffeners made of magnesium.
Crest Industrial L.L.C ............136 Shanghai Minmetals .............99
Arnold Umformtechnik also points out that the approximate 350g weight
advantage over steel versions means that Alufast® screws are of interest to design
Dörken ................................... 31 Shin Chun Enterprise ........... 107
engineers working in many fields, including gearbox design. An investigation carried
Dresselhaus ........................... 71 Smith-Bullough ..................... 41
out by Arnold found that this was the weight saving that could be made in a gearbox
DS Fasteners .......................... 15 Special Bolt ........................... 67
containing 20 screws. In terms of annual production of, say 100,000 gear boxes, that EDP ...................................... 101 SpecialInsert Srlfw ..............115
would translate to a saving of some 35 tonnes of steel.
EFC .......................................125 Spirol .....................................19
At the same time the Alufast® range scores even more points when used in
Electra.................................... 15 Star Fasteners ...................... 131
corrosive atmospheres where fastener locations are subjected to particularly high
temperature loads. Alufast® screws have proven to be of particular value under
Ezel Civata ............................. 55 Stafa Holland BV ...................39
thermal loads. The mechanical properties of the screws remain stable over a
Fastbolt.................................... 2 Steven walker & Sons Ltd ... 137
long-term period of load, up to peak temperature of 150˚C.

Designers can use standard head settings when fastening magnesium components, Fastening Solutions ...............19 Tecfi S.p.A .............................. 81
unlike steel screws, which would

require larger head settings. The
