Aluminum Fasteners

I need qualified aerospace fasteners in this alloy. Who actually makes them, and are they on the approved source list?

What it is

Bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, pins and collars made to aerospace or military specification. A distinct manufacturing discipline rather than a mill product: qualification is per part number, and the approved source list is controlled by the airframer or prime.

Typical dimensions
Fractional through roughly 1 inch diameter for most airframe fasteners.
Also known as
bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, pins, collars, aerospace fasteners

Suppliers

Grouped by what they actually are. A mill and a distributor answer different needs.
