Analysis Of Common Causes Of Bolt Breakage-Other Factors

In the previous four articles, we have shared analyses of common causes of bolt breakage for fasteners, including stress factors, fatigue, corrosion, and hydrogen embrittlement. In addition to those mentioned above, there may be other factors that cause fastener bolts to break. As a professional fastener manufacturer, we Xinchi Fastener Company will continue to introduce to you.

Fastener connection breaks are not always directly related to catastrophic fastener breaks. Many fastener-related factors, such as loss of preload or fastener joint fatigue can cause wear; If the center of the fastener is offset, it will produce noise and leakage in use, and need unplanned maintenance, otherwise it will break. For example, vibration reduces the friction resistance of threads. And the fastener connection loosens after installation due to the application of the working load. These factors and the high-temperature creep of bolts can lead to the loss of preload. Sometimes the connection breaks because the hole through is too big or too small, the bearing area is too small, the material is too soft, or the load is too high. None of these conditions will cause the bolt to break directly, but they will result in loss of joint integrity or eventual bolt breakage.
