Aluminium screws for magnesium components(02/12/2010)
Alufast type 6056 aluminium screws from Arnold Umformtechnik are suitable for joining magnesium components subject to thermal stress and corrosion. The mechanical properties of the screws are practically stable under long-term stress at temperatures up to 150°C, while brief excursions to 180 °C can be tolerated. Alufast screws can be used untreated in combination with commonly used magnesium casting alloys, such as Az91 HP.
