Thread rolling is Process for making External Threads

Thread Rolling Process

With thread rolling hardened dies are used, which press onto the material causing it to plastically deform to the die's mirror image.
Thread rolling is the process used for making external threads. It is a important process in tooling and presswork manufacturing. A die, which is a hardened tool with the thread profile, is pressed on to a rotating workpiece. As the force is gradually increased, the thread profile is transferred to the workpiece. This process produces screws with greater strength than machined threads due to the cold working, as well as better material yield.

Because thread rolling is a cold forming process, it's done on room temperature blanks. Rotating hardened steel dies are pressed against the surface of cylindrical blank.The cold forming gives thread a higher fatigue strength. During the threading process, the surface layer of the raw material is put into compressive stress. There are no sharp corners in the root or tool marks on the flanks to cause stress risers. Thread rolling tools can be used on a wide variety of standard and special machine tools:

» Manual Lathes
» Screw Machines
» Special Machines
» Transfer Machines
» Rotating Machines
» Drilling Machines

Automotive Industry- History and Manufacturers

Automotive History:

The history of automobile is not very old, it begins with the technological breakthroughs that took place in Europe in the early eighties and continues a century later with the pioneering efforts of American manufactures to begin mass-producing cars. The Automobile Revolution began with the appearance of automobile manufacturing, about the year 1890. At that time only Europe and North America possessed the technology to produce and successfully operate a mechanically powered road vehicle. In the initial stage of automobile production and its sale did not need huge investment or marketing knowledge. Manufacturing of automobiles could be started with little men power, but with the passage of time and as the industry grew, things started to change. The period 1895 to 1908 marked the first automobile boom. During these years, France dominated the young industry.

Engineering Ferrous Metal

Use of Ferrous Metals in Precision

All metals can be classified as Non ferrous metals and Ferrous metals. Ferrous metals are those metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added, to give the required properties. All ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion.

Most commonly used ferrous metals are Mild Steel, High Speed Steel, Stainless Steel, High Tensile Steel and Cast Iron.
Here are some ferrous metals with are used for tool making, manufacturing of pressed components.

Mild Steel, Cast Iron, High Tensible Steel,

Stainless Steel, High Speed Steel,

High Carbon Steel,Medium Carbon Steel

Engineering: Non Ferrous Metal

Use of Non Ferrous Metals in Precision Presswork Tooling

Non Ferrous metals are those metals which does not contain iron . They are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals. Most commonly used non ferrous metals are Aluminum, Copper, Brass, Lead, Tin, Gilding Metal and Zinc, The details for these links are as follows:

Aluminium, Aluminium alloys (Duraluminium),

Copper, Brass, Lead, Zinc, Tin, Gilding metal.
