Thread chasing
has been and continues to be the most effective and economical way to
produce screw threads. This process has evolved through the years, and
its success can be attributed to innovative machine and machine tool
design, CNC controls, improved cutting fluids, and advances in high
speed steel and cutting tools. The thread cutting tradition continues
in all parts of our world and has a secure future here in the new
millennium.
The alternative to thread cutting is a "roll forming" process. Thread rolling is a chipless process that has both advantages and disadvantages. Because there is no chip removal during the thread rolling cycle, the blank must be sized to the approximate pitch diameter prior to rolling. For class-two threads, the blank must be held to within .0015. The tolerance is less than .001 for class-three. Rolling to a shoulder is difficult because of the skewed angle of the rolling dies. Because of "work hardening" and material metallurgy, some material can not be rolled successfully. Axial elongation factors should be considered for each material. Perishable tool costs are also higher for the rolling process. Let's consider the advantages of both processes:
These are some of the factors to consider when deciding whether to cut or roll. Where a question exists as to which method is best, it is important to consult with a suitable source and submit the application details to consider both options. |
