For the same reason, rolled threads are often much smoother, and damage resistant during handling than cut threads. Thread rolling changes the mechanical properties of the material by work hardening it, resulting in increased wear and fatigue resistance, as well as enhanced shear, tensile, and yield......
Read MoreThe materials most commonly used to make thread-rolling dies are high-speed tool steels, high-chromium tool steel, medium-alloy cold-work steel. Which are mostly Ferrous but other ductile materials such as brass, aluminium are also used with compromise in quality of the thread.
Read MoreThread rolling is a cold working process where a machined blank is compressed between rotating or reciprocating dies, whose thread profile is ground into the dies. As the blank cylinder is penetrated by the dies, the metal flows into the die cavities and forms the thread profile into the part.
Read MoreThreads produced using a thread rolling machine are 30% stronger than untreated cut threads of the same size, however heat treatment and post-processing of cut threads will reduce this difference. Thread rolling machines use a smaller diameter blank than a screw-cutting machine.
