    Engine Dissection - Nuts and Bolts: Threaded Fastener Issues On Engine

    Uploaded by

    charlessimo
    The document discusses threaded fasteners used in engines. It describes the types of fasteners, materials, grades, and tightening torques. Specifically, it explains that engine head bolts are made of steel even though the engine head is aluminum, and discusses when aluminum bolts may be used. It also emphasizes that proper tightening torque is important to ensure parts do not separate and distribute loads evenly.

    Threaded Fasteners

    Did you know that?


     the Boeing 747 uses about 2.5 million fasteners
    • 70,000 titanium costing $150,000
    • 400,000 other fasteners costing about $250,000
    • 30,000 squeeze rivets, 50cents each installed
     In certain applications (such as an engine head), you
    should tighten the bolt as much as possible, if it does not
    fail by twisting during tightening, there is a very good
    possibility that the bolt will never fail

    Why are fasteners used?

    Advantages
     Removable
     Easyto install
     Wide variety of standard parts

    Disadvantages
     loosening
     failure
     cost

    Typical Designation
    1/2” - 13 UNC - 2A
    Terminology of screw threads
    external thread Sharp vee threads shown for
    clarity; the crests and roots are
    (B means internal) actually flattened or rounded
    during the forming operation.

    Class of fit
    (1 is loosest tolerance, 3 is tightest)

    Thread Series
    UNC (Unified Coarse)
    UNF (Unified Fine)
    Pitch (threads/inch)

    Nominal Diameter
    (also shown as decimal or screw #)

    Bolt Grades
     Grade indicates the tensile
    strength of the bolt
     Determined by bolt material and
    heat treating

    Materials

    Let’s look at the example of engine head bolts


     The head is alumimum, so why are the head bolts made
    of steel ?
     In what cases might you want to use an aluminum bolt?

    Tightening Torque

    It is typical on engines for bolts to have a specified


    tightening torque. Why?
     It results in a quantified preload on the bolts
     Insures that parts never separate
     Maintains friction (no sliding to shear forces)
     Insures even distribution of loading
    • prevent warpage of mating parts
    • uniform pressure distribution over seal or gasket
     Preventsbolt from loosening
     Reduces fatique effects

    Bolt Manufacturing Processes


     Forging (upsetting)

     Rolling

    a) b)

    Thread-rolling processes: a) reciprocating flat dies; and b) two-roller dies.


    Threaded fasteners, such as bolts, are made economically by these
    processes at high rates of production

    Manufacturing Processes -
    continued
     Turning on screw machines

    (a) Differences in the diameters of machined and rolled threads. (b) Grain flow in machined and rolled
    threads. Unlike machining, which cuts through the grains of the metal, rolled threads have improved
    strength because of cold working and favorable grain flow.
