Raw material preparation: Firstly, select suitable zirconium or zirconium alloy materials to ensure their purity and quality meet the requirements. Then the raw materials are processed into blanks suitable for manufacturing screws, usually using forging or rolling processes to improve the strength and toughness of the material.
Screw forming: The blank is processed into the basic shape of a screw through cold heading or hot heading processes. During this process, the pressure, temperature, and speed of the forging process must be controlled to ensure the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the screw.
Thread processing: Using cutting or rolling methods to process threads on the screw blank. Cutting threads can achieve high precision, but the production efficiency is relatively low; Rolling threads has high production efficiency and good thread strength, but requires high equipment and process requirements.
Surface treatment: Depending on specific application requirements, surface treatment may be necessary for zirconium screws, such as passivation treatment, to further improve their corrosion resistance and make them more stable in harsh environments.
Quality inspection: Conduct comprehensive quality inspection on manufactured zirconium screws, including dimensional accuracy testing, mechanical performance testing, corrosion resistance testing, etc., to ensure that they meet relevant standards and usage requirements.
