High-tech metal fasteners now available for specialized applications
Our specialty is metal fasteners (nuts, bolts and washers) to our catalog of products available from stock for quick delivery. Molybdenum, tantalum, niobium and tungsten nuts, bolts and washers in sizes ranging from M3 to M6 provide an impressive array of properties that address the needs of a variety of high-tech applications. These metal fasteners complement the ceramic fasteners launched last year, and offer a solution where more standard metal or plastic fasteners would not be suitable, such as applications involving high temperature, high voltage, magnetism, or harsh conditions that would quickly corrode or wear away other materials. As refractory metals, all four have a melting point above 2400 ˚C, high hardness at room temperature, are chemically inert, have relatively high density and are stable against creep deformation at very high temperatures. Material Characteristics and Applications Molybdenum: maintains its strength at high temperatures, making mo
