The raw material of these fasteners is classified as Non-Ferrous Alloys. Being a PED certified Fasteners Manufacturer by TUV Rheinland,our fasteners are accompanied with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certification. Aluminium 2024 Allen Screws are available in hot forged,cold forged and bar stock machined conditions depending upon the order quantity.
Aluminium 2024 Allen Screws — Specifications & Dimensions
Aluminium 2024 Allen screws are externally threaded fasteners typically driven into a tapped hole or self-tapped material. TorqBolt manufactures Aluminium 2024 Allen screws per ASME B18.3 (socket products), ASME B18.6.3 (machine screws), DIN 912 / 7991 / 6912, and ISO 4762 / 10642, in metric M3–M48 and imperial 0–1/2".
Drive Types
Hex socket (Allen) — ASME B18.3 / DIN 912, primary for high-torque industrial use
Aluminium 2024 Allen screws are available in cap (cylindrical), button (low-profile dome), countersunk / flat (82° or 90°), pan, fillister, truss, and shoulder configurations. Countersunk per DIN 7991 with 90° head angle is standard for metric; 82° per ASME B18.6.3 for imperial.
Thread & Length
Aluminium 2024 Allen screws use full-thread or partial-thread (length-under-head) configurations. Machine screws are typically full-thread; cap screws use partial thread for grip control. Threading per ASME B1.1 (UNC/UNF) or ISO 965 (metric coarse/fine), Class 2A or 6g default. Length-under-head is measured from the bearing surface for hex/cap, from the largest face for countersunk. Custom lengths quoted to drawing.
Specialty Screws
TorqBolt produces Aluminium 2024 Allen set screws (cup-point, cone-point, dog-point, flat-point, hex-socket DIN 913/914/915/916), shoulder screws (precision-ground shoulder for pivot applications), and self-tapping screws (Type AB, Type 25). All certified per EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 with optional NACE MR0175 sour-service compliance.
Aluminium Alloys
Aluminium alloys are specified for fasteners where weight reduction, electrical conductivity, or non-magnetic / non-sparking properties dominate the design envelope — aerospace structures, marine spars, electronics enclosures, and industries where reducing reciprocating mass directly improves performance. Density of ~2.7 g/cm³ (one-third of steel) combined with self-passivating Al₂O₃ surface gives respectable corrosion resistance in atmospheric service.
2024 (Al-Cu-Mg) is the high-strength aerospace alloy: yield ~325 MPa in T3 condition, used for airframe structural fasteners. 6061 (Al-Mg-Si) is the general-purpose grade with excellent weldability and corrosion, the standard for marine + structural fasteners. 7075 (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu) is the highest-strength aluminium fastener alloy: yield ~505 MPa in T6 condition, comparable to mild steel at one-third the weight — the dominant material for civilian + military aircraft assembly.
Aluminium fasteners ship per AMS 7222 / 7223 / ASTM F468 (rod) with full mechanical certification including hardness (Rockwell B 60-87), tensile, and conductivity testing. Galvanic isolation is critical when aluminium fasteners contact dissimilar metals in moist environments — cadmium plating or insulating washer + sleeve combinations are commonly specified.
