    Family coverage · 4 forms

    Selecting across SEMS washer configurations

    Plain / Flat
    Most common · bearing distribution
    Flat washer captive under the head — distributes clamp load and protects soft surfaces from indentation. Most common baseline SEMS configuration across automotive electronic assemblies, harness brackets, and industrial joints. Non-locking; paired with chemical thread-lock, lock nut, or prevailing-torque feature where retention is critical.
    External Tooth
    Anti-rotation · exposed teeth
    Teeth on the outer rim provide maximum grip against the mating surface and the largest torsional resistance. Selected where loosening under vibration is the primary concern and the joint tolerates visible tooth marks.
    Internal Tooth
    Concealed teeth · clean surface
    Teeth face inward — used where tooth marks must be hidden (visible assemblies, painted panels). Requires tight mating-hole diameter to prevent tooth miss-engagement.
    Split Lock (Helical Spring)
    High-vibration · spring tension
    Split-ring geometry provides spring tension against the joint. Selected where the assembly sees continuous low-amplitude vibration. Paired with carbon or hardened spring-steel washers.

  • Cold-Headed Custom Bolts — No Secondary Machining

    Open-Die Bolts

    Cold-formed bolts with custom head geometry pressed directly from an open die — no secondary machining, no bar-stock material waste, strong grain flow through the head.

    Available for custom non-standard head shapes or integrated profiles (combined flange, collar, shoulder, or special geometry) where bar-stock turning would be cost-prohibitive at target volume. Each programme is case-by-case — tooling, volume, material, and geometry all affect feasibility.

    Why source through Way Fast

    We serve Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers — primarily to North American OEM programs, including platforms shared with European and Japanese brands — with day-to-day experience handling the documentation and tolerance standards these projects demand.

    01 · Multi-source capacity
    Working with multiple qualified manufacturing partners — we match each order to the best-fit production line, stabilizing lead times and cost when single-source capacity tightens.
    02 · Submission-grade documentation
    Full support for PPAP (Levels 1–3), IMDS submission, and RoHS / REACH documentation.
    03 · Audited special-process chain
    Partners certified to AIAG CQI-9 (heat treat), CQI-11 (plating), and CQI-12 (coating) — covering the full post-processing chain under audited special-process controls.
    04 · Multilingual drawing review
    Technical drawing review in English, German, Japanese, and Chinese — including ISO 8015 GPS callouts, JIS standards, thread tolerance classes, and coating specifications.
    05 · Feasibility assessment requires full programme scope
    Custom cold-heading is inherently project-specific: head geometry, material grade, annual volume, and tooling amortization all affect feasibility. Contact with the full package — drawing with head geometry, material spec, annual volume, and any secondary features (knurl, thread spec, undercut) — for engineering and cost feasibility review. Without complete programme scope, accurate quotation is not possible.

    Selecting across micro-screw material options

    Stainless steel (304 / 316)
    Corrosion-resistant · electronic & medical
    304 for general electronic enclosures and wearables; 316 for medical devices, implantable, or high-corrosion environments. Passivated finish standard; austenitic grades non-magnetic for sensitive electronic applications.
    Brass (nickel-plated)
    Electrical · cosmetic surface
    Brass body for electrical conductivity (grounding, shielding), nickel plating for corrosion and clean appearance. Common on eyeglass frames, hearing aid housings, and camera modules where a low-profile cosmetic finish is required.
    Carbon steel
    General electronic · cost-optimized
    Standard carbon-steel micro-screw for non-corrosive indoor electronic enclosures. Zinc-plated or black-oxide finish. Baseline cost option for PCB-to-chassis fastening where stainless is not required.

    Family coverage · 3 groups

    Selecting across stainless-steel grade families

    Austenitic (300 series)
    302 / 304 / 305 / 316 · non-magnetic
    Standard corrosion-resistant grades, non-magnetic, good formability. 304 for general-purpose; 316 for marine, chlorinated, or chemical environments; 305 for cold-heading larger bolts where 304 would work-harden; 302 for high-strength fasteners.
    Ferritic & Martensitic (400 series)
    410 / 420 / 430 · higher strength
    Magnetic stainless grades. 410 / 420 heat-treatable martensitic — higher tensile strength than 304 with moderate corrosion. 430 ferritic for cost-balanced applications where non-magnetic response is not required.
    Precipitation-hardening (SUS 630 / 17-4 PH)
    High strength + corrosion
    17-4 PH combines austenitic corrosion with martensitic strength after age-hardening. Tensile above 1,200 MPa achievable. For aerospace, marine, or aggressive environments where 300-series strength is insufficient.
