Fastener To make Users often ask: Why... Stainless steel fasteners Sometimes, locking issues can occur—yet such phenomena don't often happen when using carbon steel fasteners. Could it be that the stainless steel fasteners are made of a softer material, while carbon steel fasteners are relatively harder? That’s right! Stainless steel and carbon steel have fundamental differences. Stainless steel has good ductility, but its hardness is somewhat lower than that of carbon steel. However, this statement is only half true.

Lock-up often occurs in stainless steel, Aluminum alloy and Titanium alloy On the fasteners produced, these metal alloys themselves possess rust-resistant properties and, when the surface is damaged, they form a thin oxide layer on the metal surface to prevent further, more extensive corrosion.

When stainless steel fasteners are tightened, the pressure and heat generated between the threads will damage and remove the chromium oxide layer in between, causing the metal threads to become exposed. Blockage occurs. or cut off and subsequently lead to the phenomenon of adhesion. When the adhesion phenomenon persists, it will cause the stainless steel fasteners to become completely... Being Locked tight, unable to be removed or locked again. Usually this... Series blocking , cut off, Adhesion To The series of actions leading to seizing occurs in just a few seconds. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of stainless steel products and following the correct operating procedures are the first steps in preventing stainless steel fasteners from seizing.

Many users encounter the phenomenon of stainless steel screws and nuts becoming jammed during the tightening process. The underlying causes are nothing more than: This material—304 (or 316)—has relatively high ductility and stickiness, a characteristic that becomes strikingly evident during the turning process. Experienced machinists will notice that when turning 304/316 bars, the chips produced have a wrinkled, extruded appearance, whereas chips from other materials such as brass or iron typically appear in the form of small fragments or filaments during turning.

When using power tools to quickly tighten screws, or when stainless steel screws and nuts are subjected to significant torque, the threaded contact areas begin to heat up. At a certain contact point, adhesion occurs, which then causes a large area to become affected.

The result is that the internal thread and the external thread have become fused together, causing them to lock up. This... A set Bolt Group It's just scrapped, of course. This could also result in the entire installed workpiece becoming a defective product.

Summarize effective methods to significantly reduce or completely prevent stainless steel screws from seizing during installation and use. We ensure the protection of threads during both the semi-finished threading process and in the finished product’s transportation and packaging. Regardless of whether users employ power tools, exceed torque limits, or use stainless steel screws with nylon lock nuts that are tightened at high speeds, the fasteners will not seize up—just as they would if made from carbon steel. Users can minimize—or even completely eliminate—losses during installation without altering their tools or installation methods.

　Of course, the cost of this stainless steel screw anti-seize solution is controllably low—adding only a small amount of extra cost or virtually no additional cost at all.
