Real-world Testing 

Real-world environment testing

Real-world testing of screws is a comprehensive, multi-dimensional verification system that covers materials, manufacturing processes, and final performance. It is the cornerstone of ensuring industrial safety and product reliability.

For steel structure fasteners, the core idea of ​​testing is not only to assess their static strength, but also their resilience and reliability under extreme conditions such as dynamic loads, fire, and corrosion. These specialized tests serve as a crucial bridge between the laboratory and the real world, ensuring that skyscrapers can withstand wind and earthquakes, and that cross-sea bridges can resist corrosion and weathering. They are an indispensable verification process for the safety of modern steel structure engineering.

Long-term reliability testing

Long-term Reliability Test

Environmental durability (weather resistance) testing

The main focus is on the aging of the screw’s surface coating or the material itself under long-term outdoor conditions.

UV aging test: Simulates ultraviolet rays in sunlight to test the coating’s (such as color zinc, powder coating) resistance to chalking, discoloration and peeling.

Humidity test: Simulates a high temperature and high humidity environment to test whether screws are prone to rusting, and to check for problems such as coating blistering and decreased adhesion.

High and low temperature cycling test: The screw is repeatedly cycled between extreme high and low temperatures to test whether the internal stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction will lead to coating cracking, thread damage or performance degradation.

Environmental durability (weather resistance) testing

Simulate various natural environments or specific working media to test the corrosion resistance of screws.

Neutral salt spray test: The most commonly used accelerated corrosion test method, which simulates marine or salty and humid atmospheric environments to evaluate the corrosion resistance of electroplated coatings (such as zinc plating, Dacromet) or the material itself (such as stainless steel).

Copper accelerated acetic acid salt spray test: More stringent than neutral salt spray, it is mainly used to quickly evaluate the corrosion performance of decorative coatings.

Cyclic corrosion test: Simulates a more realistic day-night and wet-dry alternating environment, and reflects the actual corrosion situation better than continuous salt spray test.

Acidity test/sulfur dioxide test: Simulates the corrosive environment of industrial acid rain or polluted atmosphere.

Stress corrosion cracking test: For high-strength steel screws, under the combined action of tensile stress and specific corrosive media (such as chlorides and sulfides), the sensitivity of them to brittle fracture is tested.

Basic performance and accuracy testing

Basic Performance and Accuracy Test

Mechanical performance testing

This is the most basic and important test, used to verify the strength, toughness, and reliability of the screw.

Tensile (tensile strength) test: This test determines the maximum load a screw can withstand under axial tensile force until it breaks. This is a core indicator of its holding power.

Hardness testing: Rockwell (HRC) and Vickers (HV) methods are commonly used to measure the hardness of the screw surface and core to ensure that it has sufficient strength to resist deformation and wear.

Torque-Clamping Force Test: This test measures the clamping force generated when a certain torque is applied, as well as the torque required to achieve the target clamping force. This is crucial for controlling assembly quality and preventing loosening.

Head strength test: Apply vertical force to the screw head to test its load-bearing capacity and anti-disengagement ability.

Fatigue testing: Apply alternating cyclic loads to the screw to simulate its long-term performance under vibration environment, determine its fatigue limit, and predict its service life.

Dimensional and geometric accuracy measurement

Ensure that the screws can be assembled smoothly and correctly.

Main dimensions: Diameter, pitch, length, head size, width across flats, etc.

Geometric tolerances: thread go/no-go gauge inspection, head coaxiality with the screw, thread profile angle, etc.

Surface defects: Inspect for cracks, burrs, folds, chips, etc. Magnetic particle testing or eddy current testing is often used to detect minute cracks on and near the surface.

Material composition, performance, and special scenario testing

Material Composition, Properties and Special Environment Testing

Chemical composition and metallographic analysis

This involves quality control of screws based on their material properties.

Chemical composition analysis: The elemental composition of the screw material is tested using equipment such as a spectrometer to ensure that it meets the standard requirements (such as the content of elements such as carbon, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum).

Metallographic analysis: The screw is cut open and its microstructure (such as grain size, inclusions, depth of carburized layer, depth of decarburized layer, etc.) is observed under a microscope to determine whether the heat treatment process is qualified. An excessively deep decarburized layer will severely weaken the surface strength and fatigue life of the screw.

Special application scenario testing

More targeted testing should be conducted based on the final application area of ​​the screws.

Seismic testing: Used in safety-critical fields such as buildings, bridges, and nuclear power plants to simulate performance under extreme loads such as earthquakes. For steel structure buildings, especially in earthquake-prone areas, it is essential to verify the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of their connection nodes under repeated seismic waves.

Fire resistance test: This test measures the time a screw retains a certain strength and connection capability under high-temperature fire conditions. Fire is a major threat to steel structure buildings. The strength of steel decreases sharply at high temperatures. Fasteners must maintain their connection function for a certain period of time during a fire to buy time for evacuation and rescue.

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility testing: Steel structures, especially bridges, coastal buildings, or buildings near chemical plants, are prone to brittle fracture because their fasteners are subjected to huge tensile stresses and corrosive media over a long period of time.

Fatigue testing is used for steel structures that bear dynamic loads, such as bridges, crane beams, and wind turbine towers. The fasteners of these structures are subjected to millions or even hundreds of millions of alternating stress cycles.
