3.Precision Thread Machining:
Perform thread rolling or CNC turning on forged semi-finished parts. Machine external threads following standard specifications including NPT, BSPP, BSPT and metric threads. Inspect thread tooth profile, pitch, major/minor diameter and tolerance by thread gauges one by one, to ensure smooth thread assembly and reliable sealing performance after tightening.
4.Deburring & Pre-Cleaning:
Remove sharp burrs and flash formed on edges of hexagon socket and thread section after forging and threading. Carry out ultrasonic cleaning to thoroughly wash away metal scraps, forging lubricant and surface contaminants, ensuring a clean and uniform base surface ready for black oxide treatment.
5.Black Oxide Surface Treatment:
Immerse cleaned pipe plugs in professional blackening chemical solution. A uniform, thin black oxide conversion film is formed on carbon steel surface. The black oxide layer offers mild anti-corrosion property and reduces surface friction, delivering a consistent matte black appearance. After blackening, workpieces go through rinsing and full drying to avoid residual liquid stains.
6.Final Inspection & Packaging:
Implement full-range quality inspection, covering dimensional check, thread fit test, inner hexagon wrench compatibility, surface appearance and sealing-related visual inspection. Sort and separate qualified products. Pack finished pipe plugs into moisture-proof bags and export cartons with product specification labels, then transfer to warehouse for storage and shipment.
