Mechanical Property Testing and Chemical Analysis of Fully Threaded Studs

Mechanical property testing is a crucial step to ensure that fully Threaded Studs can withstand specific loads and maintain stability.

1. Tensile Test:
   Using a tensile testing machine, a pulling force is applied to the stud to measure its tensile strength and elongation at break, ensuring that it does not fracture under the designed load.

2. Torque Test:
   A torque wrench is used to determine the maximum torque that the stud can withstand, preventing thread damage caused by excessive torque during actual use.

3. Impact Test:
   Since fully threaded studs may sometimes be subjected to sudden impact loads, impact testing is conducted to evaluate their impact resistance and toughness to ensure they meet the required standards.

4. Hardness Test:
   Hardness is an important indicator of material strength and wear resistance. Rockwell or Vickers hardness testers are used to check whether the stud’s hardness meets the specified standard.

The chemical composition of the material directly affects the stud’s performance and service life.

1. Elemental Content Analysis:
   Using a spectrometer or chemical analysis methods, the main elements of the stud are tested to verify compliance with design requirements—particularly the content of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur in the steel—to ensure they are within acceptable ranges.

2. Corrosion Resistance:
   Salt spray tests or immersion corrosion tests are performed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the studs, which is a key factor in ensuring long-term performance under various environmental conditions.

3. Material Identification:
   When necessary, non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment is used to verify the material grade and ensure it meets national or industry standards.
