Fracture behaviors of SCM435 high strength bolt have been studied including macroscopic and microscopic fracture observation, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, Vickers hardness test and applied stress evaluation. cracks (ratchet marks) were generated by the repetitive loads acting on the bolts, initial stress of bolt and the stress concentration. The applied stress was found to be slightly higher than the fatigue limit of the material. The initial stress of bolt must be removed, and the mold temperature during the process must be maintained by room temperature. Bolts are recommended to be peened to improve fatigue limit.

This study analyzed the causes of failure of SCM435 bolts that fix the springs of automobile air brakes that have been fractured during use. The cause of failure was analyzed using SEM, EDS, metallogical microscope and Vickers hardness tester. In the fracture, the ratchet mark began at the outer boundary of crack origin, and the grains at crack origin were found to have clear intergranular corrosion. One SCM435 bolt was subjected to a stress of 398 MPa, it's a stress of about 80% of the fatigue limit. As a result of such a large applied stress, cracks occurred at the corrosion origin and were fractured. In order to prevent the SCM435 bolt from fracture, it is necessary to use the correct composition, the accuracy of heat treatment, preventing damage by external impact, preventing corrosion of the damage part by moisture, and introduction a compressive residual stress by peening.

A bolt manufacturing process is completed with continuous forging. Technical and economical success of each process will depend on the appropriate process design and metal mold design for each procedure. This study aims to analyze the moldings of first and second steps among the multi-step molding processes of SCM435 bolt by use of the finite element method in order to achieve the reasonable process. Since the processes of first and second steps analyzed by use of the finite element method consist of axial symmetry, the transformed configuration of material satisfy the dimensions expected in process. In addition, the uniflow line formed in material becomes smooth and consistent over the entire process. Therefore neither molding of material nor inherent defect is expected.

When injection mold is repeatedly used for mass production, fatigue phenomenon due to cyclic stress may occur. The surface and interior of structure might be damaged due to cyclic stress or strain. The objective of this study was to analyze failure of SCM435 high-tension bolts connecting upper and lower parts of a three-stage injection molding machine. These bolts have to undergo an accurate heat treatment to prevent the formation of chromium carbide and the action of dynamic stresses. Bolts were fractured by cyclic bending stress in the observation of ratchet marks and beach marks. Damaged specimen showed an acicular microstructure. Impurity was observed. Chromium carbide was observed near the crack origin. Both shape parameters of the Vickers hardness were similar. However, the scale parameter of the damaged specimen was about 20% smaller than that of the as-received specimen. Much degradation occurred in the damaged specimen. Bolts should undergo an accurate heat treatment to prevent the formation of chromium carbide. They must prevent the action of dynamic stresses. Bolts need accurate tightening and accuracy of heat treatment and screws need compression residual stress due to peening.

This study investigated tile local austenite grain size (AGS) distribution In rolling of SCM435 steel which is commonly used for high strength bolt. To investigate AGS distribution, round-oval (R-O) and square-diamond (S-D) rolling experiments were carried out with pilot mill. In round-oval rolling, local AGS has a tendency to increase when it goes to outward. In square-diamond rolling, local AGS has a tendency to increase when it goes to free surface. To investigate relation between AGS and process parameter, three dimensional FE analysis was carried out along with rolling experiment. To validate accuracy of FE analysis, we compared deformed geometry with FE result. The AGS prediction combined AGS model with numerical analysis was also carried out for center node of S-D rolling. Although this study brought experimental observation and its qualitative analysis into focus and quantitative AGS prediction will be done as a further work.

For a easier bolt molding, an extrusion process, the 2nd step of the molding process, was moved to step 4, and the bolt head section was exclusively molded in steps 2 and 3. As a result, the molding process was made easier thanks to the minor modification, and the contact pressure decreased in step 1 and increased in step 2 over its earlier intensity. Also, the maximum effective stress, effective strain, and molding force were all increased in both steps 1 and 2.

Purpose: This study aims to develop brand new bolt fastening type of seismic retrofit using high tensile alloy materials for existing reinforced concrete columns. Method: A T-type cross-sectional seismic retrofit made of SUS304 and SS275, and the high-tensile bolt of SCM435 was analyzed for the effect of material properties on seismic performance through bending test. Result: The experiment using SUS304 shows a 7% higher maximum strength and 22% higher yield strength and shows a higher compressive stress of 360MPa. In addition, the change in the neutral axis is also smaller. Conclusion: Seismic retrofit using SUS304 is considered to be better in terms of yield strength, tensile strength, neutral axis change, and ductility, and it is considered necessary to experiment with RC column real experiments in future studies.

This paper is a study on head bolts that are used in A/C compressors to reduce production cost and solve leak problems on the head bolt seat area that causes massive intermittent malfunctioning during production. In this study, the pre-heat treated steel, which was used as a material in the head bolt, eliminated the heat treatment process after forging. The pre-heat treated steel head bolts, which have 10 % lower tensile strength than the conventional SCM 435 head bolts, were selected after considering the results of creeping rupture properties, axial force, and stress concentration per tensile strength variation. Then, the performance test and the durability test with the A/C compressor that was assembled with the pre-heat treated steel head bolts were performed and verified. Based on the results, the pre-heat treated steel head bolts developed in this study saved 7.3 % in production cost by eliminating the heat treatment process and the logistics process. Furthermore, the leak problem on the head bolt seat area in the A/C compressor was addressed significantly on the mass production assembly line.
