Causes of Stainless Steel Screw Fracture

Stainless steel screws refer to steel screws that can resist corrosion from air, water, acids, alkalis, salts, or other media. Depending on the alloy composition, stainless steel screws focus on either their rust resistance or acid resistance. However, stainless steel screws can still break.

As a professional fastener manufacturer, XINCHI Fasteners Co., Ltd. is happy to introduce the causes of stainless steel screw fractures.

The fatigue strength, material quality, heat treatment process, and manufacturing process of screws all directly affect the fracture behavior of stainless steel screws. When these factors are standardized, most fractures in stainless steel screws are caused by loosening.

The issue of fracture due to loosening of stainless steel screws is similar to that of fatigue fracture. The root cause is often found in the fatigue strength. In fact, fatigue strength is rarely a concern during the use of stainless steel screws.

Causes of Damage Due to Screw Loosening: The immense kinetic energy directly impacts the fasteners and equipment, leading to fastener damage. Once the fasteners are damaged, the equipment cannot function properly, further causing damage to the equipment. Fasteners under axial force may damage the threads or cause the bolts to break, while fasteners under radial force may lead to bolt shearing or deformation of the bolt holes. Choosing a thread-locking method with excellent anti-loosening properties is key to solving this issue.
