Sheet Metal Thread Forming

These steel screws are zinc plated to resist corrosion in wet environments.

Sheet metal thread forming. A common thread rolling process used in industry to manufacture threaded parts involves forming the threads into the metal of a blank by a pressing and rolling action between two die. Both are a type of self tapping screw. Fastite 2000 screws feature a thread forming design created to deliver cost effective and optimum joint performance in sheet metal applications as thin as 0 7mm 028 in this unique design employs many of the design innovations for high performance thread rolling fasteners featured in taptite 2000 fasteners. Length is measured from under the head.

Use a thread cutting screw or a thread forming screw to create a tight fit in heavy gauge sheet metal aluminum cast iron and other hard materials. Steel rounded head blunt screws for sheet metal. Larger root diameter with finer thread pitch for light and heavy sheet metal non ferrous castings plastics impregnated plywoods asbestos combinations and other materials. Thread cutting screws have tapered entering threads and multiple cutting edges to dig into the boss tapped hole.

Thread rolling is a metal rolling process used extensively in manufacturing industry to produce screws bolts and other fasteners.
