Material Properties LimitsMaterial Properties LimitsProcess Effect on thread strength
Casting Brittle, due to grainstructure
P d C b b ittl d tPowder Can be brittle due tosintering process (voids,incomplete fusion)
Deformation Good strength due to coldDeformation Good strength, due to coldworking and graindeformation
Machining Reduced due to sharpac g educed due to s a pcorners, and cuttingthrough grains
ME 6222: Manufacturing Processes and Systems Prof. J.S. Colton © GIT 2009
27
Problems due to grain structureProblems due to grain structure• Cast objects have grains that j g
grow together.• Cast objects are not cold workedCast objects are not cold worked.
Th f f tTherefore, fracture can occur along grain boundaries more
ileasily.

Which process to pick?
• Normal sized bolts, mass d d d t thproduced, good strength:Rolling and heading
• Small bolts, mass produced:Machining on screw machineMachining on screw machine
• Large bolts, small numbers:M hi iMachining

SummarySummary
• Choice depends on what you are trying• Choice depends on what you are trying to accomplish.Ch i i t i l t k• Choosing is not a simple task.
• Lots of thought and calculations are needed.
