Custom Aluminum Micro Screws are miniature drawing-based fasteners for compact assemblies where weight reduction, non-magnetic behavior, clean appearance or anodized corrosion protection matters. They are used when a standard steel screw is heavier than necessary or when the assembly requires an aluminum-compatible fastener.
Common material choices include 6061 aluminum for general precision hardware, 7075 aluminum where higher aluminum strength is required and 2024 aluminum when the design specifies an aerospace-style aluminum alloy. Final grade selection should confirm strength, corrosion exposure, anodizing requirement and mating material.
Sizes are typically M1, M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, M2, M2.5 and M3, with miniature pan head, countersunk head, button head, socket head, Torx / six-lobe or custom drive forms reviewed by drawing. Aluminum screws are not direct substitutes for high-strength steel fasteners unless the joint design permits the lower strength and installation torque.
Aluminum micro screws are used in compact housings, instrument panels and precision modules where small size, low mass and clean anodized appearance are required.
Aluminum micro screws may support non-structural aerospace interior, trim and equipment-cover assemblies when the joint is designed for lightweight aluminum hardware.
When aluminum panels, plastic housings or lightweight brackets are used, screw material, coating and installation torque should be reviewed to avoid stripping, galling or galvanic issues.

FAQ
Common Questions Before RFQ
What information is needed to quote custom aluminum micro screws?
Send the drawing or size, aluminum grade, head style, drive, thread, length, finish, tolerance, quantity and target application.
Can 7075 aluminum micro screws be supplied?
Yes, 7075 aluminum can be reviewed where higher aluminum strength is required. Final feasibility depends on size, head geometry, thread form and finish.
Are aluminum screws as strong as steel screws?
No. Aluminum screws are selected for low weight, appearance, non-magnetic behavior or material compatibility, not as direct replacements for high-strength steel screws.
Can black anodized aluminum micro screws be made?
Yes. Clear, black, hard and selected color anodized finishes can be reviewed by grade, size and cosmetic requirement.
Can miniature aluminum screws be supplied with washers?
Yes. Screw-and-washer sets or small bagged kits can be supplied when washer size, material and packing method are specified.
Need custom aluminum micro screws for lightweight precision assemblies?
Send your drawing, material grade, size, head style, drive, finish and quantity. We can review M1-M3 miniature aluminum screws in 6061, 7075 or 2024 with anodized finish options.
