1.Raw Material Inspection & Blanking: Adopt high-standard 316 stainless steel wire rods, complying with international fastener manufacturing specifications. Strictly inspect raw material surface smoothness, internal metallographic structure, tensile strength and corrosion resistance performance to eliminate raw materials with cracks, oxide spots, inclusions and dimensional defects. According to screw specifications and length standards, implement precise fixed-length blanking to ensure uniform blank size and consistent material foundation for subsequent cold forming processing.
2.Surface Pretreatment & Precision Cold Heading:
Complete professional degreasing, cleaning and surface lubrication pretreatment to remove oil stains, dust and oxide layers on blank surfaces, reducing extrusion friction during cold working. Adopt multi-station precision cold heading process to complete integral forming of cylindrical head and internal hexagonal socket. Strictly control forming pressure and die precision to ensure standard inner hexagon depth, regular head outline and compact metal structure without deformation, collapse or micro cracks.
3.Deburring, Shaping & Thread Rolling:
Thoroughly remove tiny burrs and sharp flashing generated during cold heading forming. Conduct fine shaping and calibration on screw head and rod body to optimize overall flatness and straightness. Adopt high-precision thread rolling technology to form standard, uniform and full-tooth external threads with smooth surface and accurate pitch, ensuring precise assembly matching and stable fastening performance with supporting nuts and threaded holes.
4.Stress Relief & Anti-Corrosion Passivation:
Implement professional stress relief treatment to fully eliminate residual internal stress produced by cold extrusion and thread rolling, stabilizing internal metal grain structure and improving structural fatigue resistance. Conduct dedicated surface passivation treatment for 316 stainless steel to form a dense and stable anti-corrosion protective film, effectively enhancing oxidation resistance, salt spray resistance and overall durability in humid and corrosive working environments.
5.Full-Range Dimensional & Performance Inspection:
Carry out comprehensive quality inspection covering key dimensional tolerance detection of screw length, head diameter, inner hexagon size and thread accuracy. Conduct sampling tests on hardness, tensile strength, thread fitting performance and salt spray corrosion resistance. Strictly screen defective products with dimensional deviation, thread damage, surface flaws and unqualified performance to ensure all finished products meet industrial fastener standards.
6.Sorting, Packaging & Standard Warehousing:
Automatically classify and count qualified 316 hex socket head cap screws by complete specifications and models. Adopt dust-proof, moisture-proof and anti-collision standardized packaging to protect thread teeth and smooth screw surface from scratch and deformation. Paste clear labels including material grade, specification, batch number and inspection information. All finished products are classified and stored in standardized warehouses and delivered after final quality verification.
