Production Process of A325 Heavy Hex Bolts:
Here’s an introduction to the production process of A325 heavy hex bolts:
| Production Procession of Hex Bolts |
|---|
| 1. Material Preparation: - Round wire steel undergoes phosphating and wire drawing to required dimension. This step ensures that the material is appropriately sized for the subsequent forming process. |
| 2. Forming: Size smaller M24 or 1": Cold heading -Feed the cut material into a cold heading machine, which uses punches and dies to shape the material at room temperature. The machine compresses the material, forming it into the desired hexagonal shape for the bolt head. Size Larger than M24 or 1": Hot Forging - This process involves heating the material to a high temperature and shaping it using dies or molds. In the context of hex bolts, hot forging imparts the desired hexagonal shape to the head of the bolt. |
| 3. Thread rolling: - Use a thread rolling machine for thread rolling. Product is placed between two rollers and enough pressure is applied to cause the material to thread between the rollers. |
| 4. Heat Treatment: - Heat treatment is applied to improve the hardness and strength of the hex bolts. |
| 5. Surface Treatment: - The final step involves surface treatment, enhancing corrosion resistance and providing a polished finish. |

| Inspection Points: | Introduce inspection points at various stages of manufacturing to check for defects, dimensions, and quality. Inspect threading, dimensions, surface finish, and other critical parameters. |
| Sampling and Testing: | Regularly sample products for testing, such as tensile testing, hardness testing, and metallurgical analysis, to ensure they meet the required specifications. |
| Thread Inspection: | Thoroughly inspect threading using proper thread gauges to ensure accurate dimensions and fit with mating components. |
| Traceability: | Implement a traceability system to track each fasteners journey from raw material to final product. This aids in accountability and recalls if necessary. |
