Service HotlineLock nut is a kind of nut widely used in machinery and other industries. Its working principle is self-locking by the friction between the nut and the bolt. However, the reliability of this self-locking is reduced under dynamic loads. In some important occasions, we will take some anti-loosening measures to ensure the reliability of the nut locking.
In the existing joint replacement, self-tapping screws are mostly used, and their triangular thread structure has a certain self-locking ability. After a long period of service, it is prone to loosening. The surrounding bone may not be tight enough after implantation, resulting in a sharp decline in its self-locking ability, and there may be a risk of regression, causing certain damage to the human body.
The bolt thread is generally cold worked, so that the thread blank within a certain diameter range passes through the rubbing (rolling) wire plate (die), and the thread is formed by the pressure of the wire plate (rolling die). The plastic streamline of the threaded part is not cut off, the strength is increased, the precision is high, and the quality is uniform, so it is widely used. In order to make the outer diameter of the thread of the final product, the required thread blank diameter is different, because it is limited by factors such as thread accuracy and whether the material is coated or not. Rolling (rubbing) thread is a processing method that uses plastic deformation to form thread teeth. It uses a rolling (screwing plate) die with the same pitch and tooth shape as the thread to be processed, while extruding the cylindrical screw blank, while rotating the screw blank, and finally transferring the tooth shape on the rolling die to the On the screw blank, the thread is formed. The common point of rolling (rubbing) thread processing is that the number of rolling revolutions does not need to be too much. If it is too much, the efficiency will be low, and the surface of the thread teeth will easily cause separation or random buckle. On the contrary, if the number of revolutions is too small, the diameter of the thread is easy to be out of round, and the pressure at the initial stage of rolling increases abnormally, resulting in a shortening of the life of the die. Common defects of rolled threads: cracks or scratches on the surface of the thread part; random buckles; out of roundness of the thread part. If these defects occur in large numbers, they will be discovered during the processing stage. If the number of occurrences is small, the production process does not notice these defects and then circulates to users, causing trouble. Therefore, the key issues of processing conditions should be summarized, and these key factors should be controlled in the production process.
Hexagon nuts are divided into three types: I type, II type and thin type according to the nominal thickness. Nuts above grade 8 are divided into two types: type 1 and type II. Type I hexagon nuts are the most widely used. Type 1 nuts are divided into three grades: A, B, and C. Among them, grade A and grade B nuts are suitable for machines, equipment and structures with small surface roughness and high precision requirements. Class C nuts are used on machines, equipment or structures with rough surfaces and low precision requirements.
When the countersunk head screws and hexagon socket head bolts are produced by the cold heading process, the original structure of the steel will directly affect the forming ability of the cold heading process. In the process of cold heading, the plastic deformation of the local area can reach 60%-80%, so the steel must have good plasticity. When the chemical composition of the steel is constant, the metallographic structure is the key factor to determine the plasticity. It is generally believed that the coarse flaky pearlite is not conducive to cold heading forming, while the fine spherical pearlite can significantly improve the plastic deformation ability of the steel. For medium carbon steel and medium carbon alloy steel with a large amount of high-strength bolts, spheroidizing (softening) annealing is performed before cold heading, so as to obtain uniform and fine spheroidized pearlite to better meet the actual production needs. For the softening annealing of medium carbon steel wire rods, the heating temperature should be kept above and below the critical point of the steel, and the heating temperature should not be too high, otherwise tertiary cementite will precipitate along the grain boundary, resulting in cold heading cracking. The wire rod of medium carbon alloy steel is annealed by isothermal spheroidization. After heating at AC1+ (20-30%), the furnace is cooled to slightly lower than Ar1, the temperature is about 700 degrees Celsius for an isothermal period, and then the furnace is cooled to about 500 degrees Celsius and air-cooled. The metallographic structure of the steel changes from coarse to fine, from flake to spherical, and the cracking rate of cold heading will be greatly reduced. The general area of softening annealing temperature for 35\45\ML35\SWRCH35K steel is 715-735 degrees Celsius; while the general heating temperature for spheroidizing annealing of SCM435\40Cr\SCR435 steel is 740-770 degrees Celsius, and the isothermal temperature is 680-700 degrees Celsius.
