Nodular Ductile Iron Microstructure consisting of nodular graphite in a pearlitic matrix surrounded by ferrite islands (bullseye graphite)
Fastener Testing
You spent so much time designing and developing and
proving your product and creating an optimum design.
You go to fasten it together and it fails through the bolts!!
Why are there so many grades of bolts, washers, nuts?
Which one would work best with your design? Questions
that we can help you come up with answers for.
If you are in need of metallurgical advice on selecting the
best fastener for your application or in need of a test to
prove your design - We can help. Call our own Bruce
Meade, Metallurgical Engineer, who spent 30 years in the fastener industry. If the issue is field failures or if the bolt failed after it passed initial inspection and you want to know why we can help you determine the root cause of the problem.
