How to prevent stainless steel fasteners from being locked

Locking or seizing of fasteners often occurs on fasteners made of stainless steel, aluminum alloys and titanium alloys. These metal alloys have anti-corrosion properties and produce a thin oxidation on the metal surface when the surface is damaged. Layer to prevent further rust. When the stainless steel fasteners are locked, the pressure and heat generated between the teeth will damage the oxide layer, causing blockage or shearing between the metal threads, and adhesion will occur. When this phenomenon continues, the stainless steel fasteners will be completely locked and will no longer be able to be removed or remain locked. Usually a series of blocking_clip_adhesive_locking actions occur in just a few seconds, so correct understanding of the use of such fasteners can prevent this phenomenon.

How to prevent stainless steel fasteners from being locked

1, choose the right product

Before use, confirm that the mechanical properties of the product meet the requirements of use, such as the tensile strength of the screw and the guaranteed load of the nut. The length of the screw should be properly selected to tighten the nut and expose the nut 1-2 teeth.

2, check whether the thread is rough before use, whether there is iron filings or dirt between the threads, these things often lead to lock.

3. Lubricate the fasteners before use.

It is recommended to use butter, molybdenum disulfide, mica, graphite or talc for lubrication. At present, it is commonly used for waxing to prevent lubrication.

4, pay attention to the use method when using

a. The speed of the screwing should be appropriate. Do not use it too fast. Use a torque wrench or a socket wrench as much as possible to avoid using an adjustable wrench or an electric wrench. Too fast will cause the temperature to rise rapidly and cause lockup.

b. The direction of the force applied, the nut must be screwed perpendicular to the axis of the screw.

5, the use of gaskets can effectively prevent the problem of over-tightening.
