Meeting Demands with Small Nuts and Bolts

Modern manufacturing requires small brass nuts and bolts that combine precision with durability. The global micro-fastener market grew 8.2% YoY (2023 Grand View Research), driven by demand in electronics (34% sector share) and medical devices (28%). Unlike standard hardware, very small nuts and bolts
below 3mm diameter require specialized cold forging techniques achieving ±0.05mm tolerance.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Our ISO 9001-certified production line yields micro-fasteners with:

• Material strength: 500-900 MPa (Grade 2-5)
• Thread engagement: 85-95% (exceeding ASME B18.2.1)
• Corrosion resistance: 1,200+ hours salt spray (ASTM B117)

Brass variants demonstrate 20% better thermal conductivity than stainless steel, crucial for PCB applications.

Material Science Behind Brass Micro-Fasteners

Our C36000 brass alloy contains 60.5% Cu / 39% Zn / 0.5% Pb, optimized for:

1. Machinability (85% rating vs. 65% for stainless)
2. Electrical conductivity: 28% IACS
3. Anti-galling properties in high-cycle applications

Surface treatments like nickel plating (5-8µm) increase wear resistance by 40% in robotics applications.

Customization Parameters for Precision Applications

Configure your small nuts and bolts with:

• Thread types: UNC, UNF, Metric, JIS
• Head styles: Hex, Socket, Phillips (Torx® available Q3 2024)
• Packaging: Bulk, Tape-reel (EIA-481 compliant)

Our 9-axis CNC Swiss machines maintain 0.005mm positional accuracy for complex geometries.

Real-World Implementation Scenarios

Aerospace client XYZ reduced assembly weight by 1.2kg using our titanium micro-bolts (M2x0.4mm). Medical device manufacturer ABC achieved FDA compliance with our passivated stainless fasteners in surgical robots (zero failure in 500k cycle testing).

Future-Proofing Assembly Solutions

FAQS on small nuts and bolts

Q: What are the common uses for small nuts and bolts?

A: Small nuts and bolts are ideal for lightweight applications like electronics, jewelry repair, and model building. They provide secure fastening without adding bulk.

Q: Are small brass nuts and bolts resistant to corrosion?

A: Yes, small brass nuts and bolts offer natural corrosion resistance due to the alloy's copper content. They are suitable for humid environments or decorative purposes.

Q: Where can I find very small nuts and bolts for precision projects?

A: Very small nuts and bolts (e.g., M1-M3 sizes) are available at specialty hardware stores or online retailers specializing in micro-fasteners. Check product specifications for exact dimensions.

Q: Can small brass nuts and bolts be used in electrical applications?

A: Yes, brass's conductivity makes small brass nuts and bolts suitable for low-voltage electrical connections. Avoid using them in high-corrosion scenarios without protective coatings.

Q: How do I choose between standard and very small nuts and bolts?

A: Consider the material thickness and load requirements. Very small nuts and bolts work for delicate materials like plastic or thin metal, while standard sizes handle moderate stress.
