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.
3. Friction coefficient The friction angle is an important factor affecting the torque, and the existence of friction is the basis for the normal operation of the lock nut. When the lock nut is working, the contact surface has pressure and friction under the action of the elastic restoring force of the thread piece. During the repeated use, the rough position and edges and corners of the contact surface are ground and smoothed under the action of cyclic friction. The coefficient of friction becomes smaller, which in turn reduces the maximum unscrewing torque of the nut.
T-bolts are often used in conjunction with flange nuts, which are standard supporting connectors when installing corner fittings, and can be automatically positioned and locked during the installation process. At present, in the welding process of T-bolts, there is often a method of manual welding. Using such a method, the manufacturing cycle is long, the labor intensity is high, the production efficiency is low, and the welding quality is difficult to guarantee.
At present, the installation methods of the retaining ring: 1. Most of them are installed with retaining ring installation pliers; 2. Simple installation aids; 3. Automatic retaining ring installation machine. The disadvantages of these installation methods: 1. If the manual installation is uneven, the elastic retaining ring will deform plastically, which will cause the elastic retaining ring to fail; 2. It cannot be positioned for complex structural parts, and the production efficiency is also low; 3. Simple installation Auxiliary tools are only suitable for the parts to be installed, which are generally not universal and have limitations; 4. The automatic elastic retaining ring installation machine has a complex structure and high cost.
