Hi everyone
I am new here. I tried to look if the forum has any subsection called something like ''Others'' or ''General Enginnering'' but doesn't have so I chose this subsection of the forum as the most appropriate to my question.
I am very aware that I AM on the forum which belongs to PROE and not general mechanical engineering. What I would like to ask is not really related to PROE but while going through a few topics, I think someone here might know the answer.
I am searching for explanation on the topic How Bolts (fasteners) are being manufactured. I have been searching a lot on google, also ''google schoolar''. I have checked many articles as well as the following books:
- 2005 SAE Handbook
- Structural integrity of fasteners by Pir M. Toor
- What every engineer should know about threaded fasteners, materials and design by Alexander Blake
- Fasteners Handbook by Julius Soled
- Handbook of bolts and bolted joints by John H. Bickford and Sayed Nassar
But couldn't find any relevant resource, mainly because of two reasons:
- I would like to have a good description to study on all 5 processes;
cold heading
thread rolling (adding the picture below)
milling
thermal treatment
surface treatment
but whatever I found that might be useful, didn't have all 5 processes described. I cannot do anything with just 3 or 4 of them.
- even if I wanted to use the lack of descriptions, the size of content was too small. I would like to get at least a few pages per each process to learn how are bolts made in each of them.
So what Im searching is a simple manufacturing description of bolts.
Tried to check also on amazon's if is there any good book. All I found is some ''carroll's book'' but, after checking the preview of the content, inside is nothing what I need.
I know, I might look very weird asking totally different subject (but still related to mechanical engineering and still related to manufacturing) on proe forum but since the forum is active and have a many members, someone might reply with any comment where should I look or which manufactury, that will be willing to reply via e-mail, should I ask.
Thank you,
kindest regards.
