Automotive lightweighting changes the way fasteners are selected — from connecting-rod bolts and cylinder head bolts to titanium hex bolts and flange bolts. Engineers need to connect steel, aluminum, composites and coated parts without causing corrosion or assembly problems.
EV battery packs and body structures often require controlled strength, insulation, corrosion resistance and low-profile head designs. Coolant, fuel and vacuum lines also rely on 65Mn spring hose clamps for constant-tension sealing.
Suppliers that understand both material selection and assembly behavior can support development teams earlier in the design cycle.
