How to Extend the Service Life of Extra-Long Screws?

Release time:2020-01-16 18:44 Browse:

1. Material Optimization

  • High-strength materials: Stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316), alloy steel (e.g., Grade 8.8, 12.9), or titanium alloys offer better corrosion and fatigue resistance.

  • Surface treatments:

    • Plating: Zinc, nickel, or Dacromet coatings prevent rust.

    • Carburizing/Nitriding: Enhances surface hardness and wear resistance.

    • Oxidation: Black oxide treatment for certain environments.


2. Corrosion Protection

  • Environment adaptation:

    • Use 316 stainless steel or coated screws in humid/chemical environments.

    • High-temperature applications require heat-resistant alloys (e.g., A286 stainless steel).

  • Additional protection: Apply anti-rust oil, sealant, or nylon washers to block moisture.


3. Installation & Load Management

  • Avoid overloading: Ensure screws operate within rated tension/shear limits.

  • Even force distribution: Use washers to reduce localized stress.

  • Proper tightening:

    • Use a torque wrench for correct preload.

    • Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage.


4. Regular Maintenance

  • Check for looseness: Retighten periodically (use thread locker or double nuts in vibrating environments).

  • Clean and lubricate: Remove rust/debris; reapply protective coatings if needed.

  • Replace worn parts: Swap damaged screws or nuts promptly.


5. Special Environment Solutions

  • High temperature: Use heat-resistant alloys (e.g., nickel-based) to avoid softening.

  • Vibration: Apply spring washers, lock nuts, or thread-locking adhesive.

  • Chemical exposure: Opt for PTFE-coated or corrosion-resistant alloys (e.g., Hastelloy).


6. Design Improvements

  • Structural optimization: Increase screw diameter or reduce overhang to minimize stress.

  • Avoid galvanic corrosion: Match screw/nut materials (e.g., both stainless steel).
