Light metals are used increasingly in all areas of technology and accordingly require connections of suitable materials. For applications with magnesium or aluminum, fasteners of aluminum alloys offer definite advantages over steel screws. These include substantial weight savings, high connection strength, avoidance of galvanic corrosion and appreciable potential for saving costs. RIBE® with its Aluform® screws is the market leader in the aluminum screws segment. Our technical innovations and many years of experience combined with heat treatment and surface technologies developed especially for aluminum alloys create products that are unique throughout the world. This is why RIBE-Aluform® screws are used in many of today’s automotive engineering applications, mainly in gearboxes and engines.
