Description / Abstract:
Type
This specification covers closely-wound helical coil, screw
thread inserts made of a corrosion resistant steel formed wire with
a chemical composition in accordance with Table 1 and identified
under the Unified Numbering System as UNS S30200 or UNS S30400 that
can be formed by an insert manufacturer to achieve the requirements
of this procurement specification. The inner surface of the insert
coil, after assembly into a screw thread tapped hole, provides
internal threads of standard 60° Unified form.
Application
Primarily to provide hard, wear-resistant internal screw threads
in light alloys or nonmetals, to provide the parent tapped material
increased shear strength by installing an insert of sufficient
length to develop the full load of the bolt, and for salvaging worn
or damaged internal threads.
