Jiangxin Time: Key solutions to meet the special needs of the fastener market

In modern industrial manufacturing, although standard fasteners are widely used, as industry demands become more diverse and complex, many companies have gradually discovered during the production process that standard parts can no longer fully meet specific functional requirements. At this time, non-standard fasteners came into being and became the key to solving these special needs.

How to meet the special needs of the fastener market

As the name implies, non-standard fasteners are relative to standard fasteners. Standard fasteners usually follow the unified specifications and standards formulated by the international or national standards and are suitable for most common assembly and connection requirements. Non-standard fasteners are special fasteners designed and manufactured according to specific needs, which can play a unique role in special environments, conditions or application scenarios.

Standard parts: flange bolts, carriage bolts, shoulder bolts, hexagonal bolts

Non-standard parts: shrink flange bolts, wheel hub bolts, square head set bolts (head painted red), double-head self-tapping bolts

Why do we need non-standard fasteners?

Special application scenario requirements

In some specific fields, such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, construction engineering, etc., standard fasteners may not meet special requirements such as high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. At this time, non-standard fasteners become an indispensable solution.

Personalized design requirements

Some complex mechanical equipment or product structures may require fasteners with specific shapes, sizes, materials or coatings to ensure their performance and durability. Non-standard fasteners can be tailored to specific needs to precisely match design requirements.

Improve production efficiency and quality

In automated production lines, non-standard fasteners can improve overall production efficiency by optimizing design, reducing assembly steps or increasing assembly speed. In addition, specially designed non-standard parts can also improve the firmness and reliability of connections, reduce failure rates and maintenance costs.

Design and manufacture of non-standard fasteners

Demand Analysis

The first step in designing non-standard fasteners is to have a deep understanding of customer needs, including the use environment, mechanical performance requirements, material properties, etc. Through communication with customers, the key parameters and design direction of the product can be clarified.

Material Selection

Depending on the use environment, the material selection of non-standard fasteners is crucial. For example, in high temperature environments, materials with good heat resistance need to be selected; in humid or corrosive environments, stainless steel or galvanized materials need to be selected.

Precise design

The design of non-standard fasteners usually needs to consider factors such as mechanical properties, fatigue strength, and wear resistance. Using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) tools, accurate modeling and simulation can be performed to ensure the rationality and feasibility of the design.

Manufacturing process

The manufacturing process of non-standard fasteners is different from that of standard parts, and usually requires special processing techniques such as precision casting, forging, and cutting. During the manufacturing process, dimensional tolerances, surface roughness, and heat treatment processes must also be strictly controlled to ensure product quality.

Quality inspection

The quality inspection of non-standard fasteners is more stringent, and usually requires multiple tests, such as tensile tests, fatigue tests, salt spray tests, etc., to ensure that they can function stably and reliably during use.

Future development trend of non-standard fasteners

With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, the application scope of non-standard fasteners will become more and more extensive. In the future, intelligent manufacturing and customized production will become the mainstream, and the design and manufacturing of non-standard fasteners will become more intelligent and efficient. In addition, the application of new materials will also drive the further development of non-standard fasteners in the field of high-end manufacturing.

As a key solution to special needs, non-standard fasteners are playing an increasingly important role in all walks of life. Through personalized design, precision manufacturing and strict testing, non-standard fasteners can meet the needs of various special scenarios and provide strong support for the development of modern industry.
