What are the Common Causes of Fastener Bolt Fracture?
As a Railway Fastening System Supplier , share with you. There are many reasons for the fracture of fastener bolts. In summary, the damage of general bolts is caused by stress factor, fatigue, corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement. Square Bolt Bolt break 1. Stress factor Exceeding normal stress (super stress) is caused by any one or a combination of shear, stretching, bending, and compression. Most designers first consider the combination of tensile load, pre-tightening force and additional practical load. The pre-tightening force is basically internal and static, and it compresses the joint components. The practical load is external, generally the cyclic (reciprocating) force exerted on the fastener. The tensile load attempts to resist opening of the joined components. When these loads exceed the yield limit of the bolt, the bolt changes from elastic deformation to a plastic zone, resulting in permanent deformation of the bolt. Therefore, the original state cannot be resto...
