Custom Automotive 12-Point Flange Bolts With Zinc Flake Finish

 

Custom Automotive 12-Point Flange Bolt With Zinc Flake Finish Manufacturers
We had these custom automotive 12-point flange bolts manufactured in grade 8 material (4140 alloy steel) with both low head and high head options.  1/2-13 2A thread was rolled on both version slightly undersized to allow for coating thickness of the Geomet zinc flake + top coat and black sealant.  Prior versions of the bolts our automotive customer used were experiencing failures from the hydrogen embrittlement resulting from the use of black zinc electroplating - black Geomet zinc flake coating was used to eliminate this risk and increase corrosion resistance at the same time.

Custom Stainless Steel Step Down Precision Pins

 

Custom Stainless Steel Step Down Precision Pin Manufacturers
We provided these custom stainless steel step down precision pins to our utilities customer.  It took a few iterations of the design and specifications to dial in the drawing and we then produced these parts using 18-8 stainless steel material with plain finish.  Prior to our production our customer was manually assembling this part using the 3 individual components and we eliminated that cumbersome process by providing a single fully machined version.

Custom Airframe Double Thread 17-4PH Precision Pins

Custom Airframe Double Thread 17-4PH Precision Pins Manufacturers

 We had 4 different size variations of these custom airframe double thread 17-4PH precision pins manufactured for our aerospace and defense customer, with all production done domestically in the USA and the raw material DFARS compliant.  A combination of M6 X 1.0 and 10-32 UNJF rolled thread was required for each variation.  Lead time was the biggest challenge on these parts due to the rolled thread requirement and heat treat process but we managed to have all 4 parts completed within the requested timeframe.  Full certs were provided with the parts including a FAIR.
