The main categories of metal fasteners we produce include:

1. Screw (Screw): used to fasten thin plates or connectors that do not require prefabricated threaded holes.
2. Nut (Nut): used in conjunction with screws and bolts to fasten connections.
3. Bolt (Bolt): used for perforated connections between two or more parts, usually used with nuts.
4. Stud (Stud): with threads at both ends and a bare rod in the middle, often used to connect heavy parts.
5. Washer (Washer): Distribute loads, prevent loosening, and protect connection surfaces.
6. Screw and nut assembly (Assembly): such as a combination of screws + spring washers + flat washers, which is convenient for customers to assemble.

Fastener Material Characteristics

 

According to different application requirements, we select a variety of materials to produce metal fasteners:

 

Material Type Main Characteristics Common Fastener Types
Carbon Steel High Strength, Low Cost, Easy Processing Screws, Nuts, Bolts, Studs
Alloy Steel Higher Strength and Wear Resistance, Suitable for High-Load Environments High-strength bolts, structural nuts
Stainless steel (304/316) Corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, suitable for outdoor and harsh environments Anti-corrosion screws, rust-proof washers
Copper, brass Good conductivity, and corrosion resistance, suitable for the electrical industry Conductive bolts, grounding connectors
Aluminum alloy Lightweight, highly corrosion-resistant, suitable for photovoltaic and automotive lightweight applications Aluminum studs, aluminum bolts
Special plastics (nylon) Insulation, corrosion resistance, lightweight Insulation screws, plastic washers

 

Tips: Carbon steel fasteners need to be surface treated according to the use environment, such as electro galvanizing or blackening treatment to prevent corrosion.

 

Cold heading production process of metal fasteners

 

We use advanced multi-station cold heading forming machines, combined with one-die three-punch technology for mass production. The process flow mainly includes:

1. Raw material preparation
Select high-quality round steel with a chemical composition that meets the standards, such as SAE 1018, SCM435, 304 stainless steel, etc.

2. Wire drawing
Draw to the required wire diameter, ensure surface finish, and dimensional tolerance ±0.05mm.

3. Cold heading forming
Use a one-die three-punch cold heading machine to continuously complete blank cutting, performing, and forming.
The cold heading pressure range is usually 150 to 800 tons.

4. Secondary processing (thread rolling/thread rolling)
Use a thread rolling machine to form threads, with a dense surface and no cracks.
5. Heat treatment (optional)
For example, carbon steel parts need quenching and tempering, with a hardness of HRC 30-40.

 

Advantages of cold heading:
High material utilization (>85%);
Improved workpiece strength (due to continuous fiber streamlines);
Good surface finish, reducing post-processing requirements.

 

Fastener surface treatment process

 

To improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of metal fasteners, we provide a variety of surface treatment methods:

 

1. Common treatment process
Electrogalvanizing:
1. Coating thickness: 5-15μm
2. Salt spray test: 72-240h
3. Applicable: general anti-corrosion

Dacromet:
1. Coating thickness: 8-12μm
2. Salt spray test: 500-1000h
3. Applicable: automotive chassis parts

Hot-dip galvanizing:
1. Coating thickness: 40-80μm
2. Salt spray test: 800h+
3. Applicable: outdoor structural parts

2. Special treatment plan
1. Silver plating (electrical contacts)
2. Chemical nickel plating (precision parts)
3. Anodizing (aluminum alloy parts)

Our process quality control

 

To ensure that each batch of metal fasteners meets high-quality standards, we implement a comprehensive quality control system:

 

Raw material inspection
Test chemical composition, tensile strength, hardness, etc.
Online first-piece confirmation
Before each batch of cold heading, the size and appearance of the first piece are confirmed.
Process inspection and random inspection
Use gauges, calipers, and three-coordinate measuring machines for inspection.
Surface treatment inspection
Use salt spray testers and film thickness meters to detect the corrosion resistance and thickness of the coating.
Full inspection or random inspection before delivery
Appearance, size, and thread gauge inspection to ensure batch stability.
