The main advantage of stainless steel rivet nuts is that there is no operating space on the back of the substrate, and the quality is extremely light. Today, the editor will talk about the selection principles of stainless steel rivet nuts and their uses: 1. The mechanical properties of stainless steel rivet nut materials, especially the strength requirements; Corrosion resistance requirements of materials;
Heat treatment technology has a crucial impact on high-strength fasteners, especially its intrinsic quality. Therefore, in order to produce high-quality high-strength fasteners, advanced heat treatment technology and equipment must be available. 1. Status of heat treatment of high-strength fasteners High-strength fasteners have 4 performance levels, namely 8.8, 9.8, 10.9, and 12.9. These four grades of high-strength fasteners must be quenched and tempered. The purpose of heat treatment and tempering is to improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of fasteners to meet the specified tensile strength value and yield ratio of the product. Therefore, the quenching and tempering process has strict requirements on raw materials, furnace temperature control, furnace atmosphere control, quenching medium, heat treatment quality inspection and control, etc.
The quality of electroplating is measured primarily by its corrosion resistance, followed by appearance. Corrosion resistance is to imitate the working environment of the product, set it as the test condition, and perform a corrosion test on it. The quality of electroplating products shall be controlled from the following aspects: 1. Appearance: Partial uncoated, scorched, rough, gray, peeling, crusted, and obvious stripes are not allowed on the surface of the product, and pinholes, pitting, and black plating are not allowed. Slag, loose passivation film, cracks, peeling off and serious passivation marks. 2. Coating thickness: The operating life of fasteners in corrosive atmosphere is proportional to its coating thickness. The general recommended thickness of economical electroplating coating is 0.00015in ~ 0.0005in (4 ~ 12um). Hot-dip galvanizing: the standard average thickness is 54 um (43 um for diameter ≤ 3/8), and the minimum thickness is 43 um (37 um for diameter ≤ 3/8). 3. Coating distribution: With different deposition methods, the aggregation method of the coating on the surface of the fastener is also different. During electroplating, the coating metal is not uniformly deposited on the peripheral edge, and a thicker coating is obtained at the corners. In the threaded portion of the fastener, the thickest coating is located on the thread crest, gradually thinning along the flank of the thread, and the thinnest deposit is at the bottom of the thread, while hot dip galvanizing is just the opposite, the thicker coating is deposited on the inside corners and On the bottom of the thread, mechanical plating tends to deposit the same metal as hot-dip plating, but is smoother and has a much more uniform thickness over the entire surface [3]. 4. Hydrogen embrittlement: During the processing and processing of fasteners, especially in the pickling and alkali washing before plating and the subsequent electroplating process, the surface absorbs hydrogen atoms, and the deposited metal coating then traps hydrogen. When the fastener is tightened, the hydrogen is transferred towards the most stressed parts, causing the pressure to build up beyond the strength of the base metal and producing microscopic surface cracks. Hydrogen is particularly active and quickly seeps into the newly formed fissures. This pressure-rupture-penetration cycle continues until the fastener breaks. Usually occurs within a few hours after the first stress application. To eliminate the threat of hydrogen embrittlement, fasteners are heated and baked as soon as possible after plating to allow hydrogen to seep out of the plating, typically at 375-4000F (176-190C) for 3-24 hours. Since mechanical galvanizing is non-electrolyte, this virtually eliminates the threat of hydrogen embrittlement, which exists in galvanizing using electrochemical methods. In addition, due to engineering standards, it is forbidden to hot-dip galvanize fasteners with hardness higher than HRC35 (Imperial Gr8, metric 10.9 and above). Therefore, hydrogen embrittlement rarely occurs in hot-dip plated fasteners. 5. Adhesion: Cut or pry off with a solid tip and considerable pressure. If, in front of the blade tip, the coating peels off in flakes or skins, exposing the base metal, the adhesion shall be considered insufficient.
Bolts made of high-strength steel, or bolts that require a large pre-tightening force, can be called high-strength bolts. High-strength bolts are mostly used for the connection of bridges, rails, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage equipment. The fracture of this kind of bolt is mostly brittle fracture. High-strength bolts applied to ultra-high pressure equipment need to be prestressed to ensure the sealing of the container.
Usually, the car wheel is fixed on the axle sleeve with positioning pins and pins, and the tire hub and the sleeve are fastened on the axle with locking nuts, lock washers, and adjusting nuts. This structure can operate normally within a certain period of time when the vehicle speed is low and the vibration is small. However, when the car runs for a long time, especially when the road surface is uneven and the load changes sharply, the axle sleeve bears a great impact. Once the shear force generated is too large, the pin will break, and the nut will be loosened. Affected, the wheel and hub will be loose. If the maintenance is not timely, or the driver is inexperienced, the car will have an accident in which the tire falls off with the wheel hub. This is extremely dangerous. So people are looking for ways to prevent wheels and hubs from falling off
