How to use stainless steel fasteners correctly
February 08, 2024
Due to the essential difference between stainless steel and carbon steel, stainless steel has good ductility. If it is used improperly, it will easily lead to the screw and the nut can not be unscrewed, which is commonly called “locking” or “biting dead”.
The main improvement is as follows:
A: The correct choice of products: confirm that the mechanical properties should meet the requirements, the length to tighten the 1-2 teeth saw after the nut is exposed.
Second: Correctly reduce the friction coefficient: the thread must be kept clean, it is recommended to add lubricant before use.
Three: The correct way to use:
1: the nut must be screwed perpendicular to the axis of the screw, not tilted;
2: During the locking process, the force must be uniform, and the force should not exceed the safe torque;
3: Use a torque wrench or socket wrench as much as possible to avoid using the adjustable wrench;
4: In the high temperature state, it must be cooled during use, and do not rotate quickly when using, so as to avoid the temperature rising rapidly and causing the lock.
