    9. Surface Treatment (e-learning)

    An introduction to surface treatment; why is surface treatment needed, how is it applied, and which different types are available? The surface treatment contains features that are essential for the bolted joint function and lifespan.Requirements are incredibly high – despite this fact, the coating layers are thinner than a human hair.

    8. Technical cleanliness (e-learning)

    Technical cleanliness, as defined in standards, relates to the absence and limitation of defined contamination. A complete lack of particle adhesion (solid matter) is not possible; therefore, appropriate requirements must accept an allowable degree of defined particle (residual) contamination.A bolt that complies with a cleanliness requirement is not necessarily clean. However, the amount, type, and

    7. Failure modes (e-learning)

    WHEN IT COMES TO BOLTED JOINTS, THERE ARE FOUR MAIN GROUPS OF FAILURE MODES. THIS COURSE FOCUSES ON EXPLAINING THEIR DIFFERENCES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM. “How hard can it be?” The title of this part of the course is “How hard can it be?”, a common view among engineers regarding the design of bolted

    4. Bolted joint design (e-learning)

    It is crucial that the bolted joints are strong enough to withstand the axial loads and the shear loads to which they are exposed. This is a short and simplified guide to the design of different bolted joints, including correct tightening techniques to secure your application of the joint.

    6. Assembly (e-learning)

    The most common way to tighten a bolt is by using a standard torque. The standard torque usually depends on the dimension and property class of the bolt itself.To avoid the risk of fracture during assembly, the target clamping force is about 55% of the ultimate tensile force.By applying a smart assembly strategy, it is

    3. Cold forging (e-learning)

    COLD FORGING IS A PROCESS THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO FORM A MATERIAL WITHOUT USING ANY EXTERNAL HEAT AND WITH NO OR A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF WASTAGE. IntroductionWhen producing bolts, it is important to be able to produce lots of parts in a very short time, and as environmentally friendly as possible. The most common

    2. Mechanical properties (e-learning)

    Mechanical properties and markings are governed by standards. There are several standardizing organizations around the world, many of them regional or tied to a country or industry. The international organization for standardization (iso) is independent and non-governmental. iso published standards are considered the benchmark and often referred to in customer-specific standards. The iso 898-1 and
