The use of Stainless Steel Fasteners is one of the most innovative ways of improving on the durability of electrical and even mechanical products. The impetus is to cut down on the cost of maintenance or even eliminate the need for maintenance. Using a fastener saves you the trouble of having to deal with rusty bolts. With over half a million standard items and each with different sizes, choosing the best fastener might be a complex task. The reason for the presence of so many products is probably because stainless steel is widely used in industry not only for making of products but also for repair. Fastener use is therefore on the increase. A fastener can be produced in two distinct ways; machining and cold heading. Machining has been used since time immemorial in making of large diameters. The downside of a fastener produced by machining is that it interrupts the flow of metal grain. This hampers load carrying ability. Cold heading works by forging the wires into different shapes and it to flow into the punch as well as the die cavities. The cold heading technique eliminates the need of preheating. Most bolts, nails, screws and rivets are made by this technique. Cold heading saves on cost since it increases unit production significantly. It is possible to produce twelve thousand parts in an hour. There are many other processes in the making of a fastener. The processes include the head slotting, head drilling and slotting of the shanks. Shank slotting is used when producing thread cutting screws. The two most important processes are the threading and making the blank. The ever increasing labor costs of today, maintenance of equipment can no longer be taken for granted. For this reason, stainless steel fasteners will continue to be popular since they guarantee durability of components. The use of a good fastener will ensure less downtime thereby maximizing on the time of production.
