    The document discusses threaded fasteners used in engines. It describes the types of fasteners, materials, grades, and tightening torques. Proper tightening is important to maintain preload on the bolts and prevent loosening. Threaded fasteners are manufactured using processes like forging, rolling, and turning on screw machines.

    Threaded Fasteners

    Did you know that?


    the Boeing 747 uses about 2.5 million fasteners
    70,000 titanium costing $150,000
    400,000 other fasteners costing about $250,000
    30,000 squeeze rivets, 50cents each installed
    In certain applications (such as an engine
    head), you should tighten the bolt as much as
    possible, if it does not fail by twisting during
    tightening, there is a very good possibility that
    the bolt will never fail

    Why are fasteners used?

    Advantages
    Removable
    Easy to install
    Wide variety of standard parts

    Disadvantages
    loosening
    failure

    Grade indicates the tensile
    strength of the bolt
    Determined by bolt
    material and heat treating

    Materials

    Lets look at the example of engine head


    bolts
    The head is alumimum, so why are the head
    bolts made of steel ?
    In what cases might you want to use an
    aluminum bolt?

    Tightening Torque

    It is typical on engines for bolts to have a


    specified tightening torque. Why?
    It results in a quantified preload on the bolts
    Insures that parts never separate
    Maintains friction (no sliding to shear forces)
    Insures even distribution of loading
    prevent warpage of mating parts
    uniform pressure distribution over seal or gasket
    Prevents
    bolt from loosening
    Reduces fatique effects

    Bolt Manufacturing Processes


    Forging (upsetting)

    Rolling
    a) b)

    Thread-rolling processes: a) reciprocating flat dies; and b) two-roller dies.


    Threaded fasteners, such as bolts, are made economically by these
    processes at high rates of production

    Manufacturing Processes -
    continued

    Turning on screw machines

    (a) Differences in the diameters of machined and rolled threads. (b) Grain flow in machined
    and rolled threads. Unlike machining, which cuts through the grains of the metal, rolled threads
    have improved strength because of cold working and favorable grain flow.
