The Manufacturing Process of Bi-Metal Screws
Here’s an overview of how bi-metal screws are made:
1.Head Forming (Stainless Steel):
The first step is to form the head of the screw using stainless steel. Molds are used to shape the material into the desired screw head form.
2. Welding:
The stainless steel head is then welded to the alloy steel tail, and an inspection process confirms the weld is strong and safe.
3. Pointing:
The tail end, made from alloy steel, is formed into the required shape using advanced forming processes.
4. Thread Rolling:
The screw's threads are created by rolling the workpiece, giving the bi-metal screw the threading necessary for its applications.
5. Heat Treatment:
Heat treatment is applied to enhance the firmness and hardness of the alloy steel portion.
6. Surface Treatment:
Finally, the screws undergo surface treatments like plating or painting to improve rust resistance and appearance.
