Custom Fastener Types
- Anchors
- Custom bolts
- Nails
- Nuts
- Pins
- Rivets
- Screws
- Washers
Materials
The Federal Group USA has experience working with a broad range of metals including:
- Alloy steels
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Bronze
- Carbon steel
- Copper
- Exotic metal fasteners
- Nickel
- Stainless steel
- Titanium
Choosing the right materials is critical to making sure that the fastener can withstand the heat and work holding ability of the job for which it is intended.
Drives
The drives at the top portion (head) of the fastener are just as important as the material. The Federal Group can manufacture custom drives or standard drives such as:
- Clutch
- Combination
- One-Way
- Phillips
- Sockets
- Slotted
- Spanner
- Squares
- Star
- Torq-set
- Tri-Wing
Heads
In addition to the drives, you’ll want to consider the heads. These can either sit shallowly atop the part to which it has been fastened or further down and more deeply. Among the most common types of fastener heads are:
- Button
- Cap
- Dome
- Flat
- Hexagon
- Oval
- Pan
Custom engineered fasteners will have endless possibilities when it comes to the head type.
Threads
The thread and pitch diameter of a fastener is also important for helping it fit into place. TFG can produce custom fasteners with fine or coarse threads.
Finishing and Secondary Operations
The finishing you choose can have a profound impact on the degree to which the fastener is protected against corrosion and other types of issues.
Some of the most popular types of finishes we offer include:
- Aluminum hot-dip galvanizing: Ideal for outdoor applications.
- Anodizing: Best for protection and has a variety of color options.
- Black oxide: Offers protection and a sleek appearance.
- Chrome plating: Mostly for decorative purposes.
- Powder coating: Allows for endless colored finishes.
- Zinc plating: Provides corrosion resistance.
In addition to coating, some custom fasteners might require secondary operations like heat treating or CNC machining services.
Transparent Lead Times
The Federal Group provides accurate lead time estimates for prototypes and first runs—and even greater precision once production begins. Factors such as fastener design, quantity, material, testing, and secondary operations all influence timing. Share your project details with a TFG expert to receive a tailored lead time estimate.
