• Application Versatility
  From fine pitch threads in aerospace to heavy-duty bolts in construction, our dies support a wide range of thread types and materials.

• Customizable Options
  We offer OEM/ODM customization to suit specific thread standards (UNC, UNF, Metric) and special design requirements.

Materials Used in Bolt Dies

The choice of material for bolt dies depends on the specific application. Common materials include:

• High-Speed Steel (HSS): Known for its durability and heat resistance, HSS is a popular choice for threading hard metals.

• Carbon Steel: Often used for softer materials like mild steel or aluminum, carbon steel dies are affordable but less durable than HSS.

• Cobalt Steel: A step up from HSS, cobalt steel offers enhanced hardness and wear resistance, suitable for high-stress threading tasks.

• Carbide: Used in high-precision applications, carbide dies are ideal for threading hard or abrasive materials due to their long-lasting cutting edges.

Typical Applications

Our bolt dies are trusted across industries:

• Automotive: Manufacturing threaded bolts and nuts for assemblies

• Aerospace: Producing high-performance fasteners for extreme environments

• Construction: Creating secure threaded connections for structural steel

• General Manufacturing: Crafting custom-threaded components for tools and equipment

Key Features of Quality Bolt Dies

When choosing the right bolt dies for your application, consider these key attributes:

• Precision: High-quality dies should produce accurate and consistent threads, ensuring a perfect fit for fasteners.

• Durability: The die's material and construction should withstand wear and tear during production.

• Ease of Use: Features like adjustability and compatibility with different threading machines enhance production efficiency.

• Versatility: Quality dies should accommodate a range of thread sizes and pitches for diverse project needs.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Bolt Dies

• Clean after each use to remove chips and debris

• Lubricate regularly to reduce friction and prevent overheating

• Store in dry conditions to prevent rust or corrosion

• Inspect for wear to ensure consistent threading performance

How to Choose the Right Bolt Dies

Selecting the correct bolt die involves several key considerations:

• Thread Type: Identify the required thread type (e.g., metric, UNC, UNF) and ensure the die matches the specification.

• Material Compatibility: Choose a die that suits the material being threaded, as some dies perform better with specific metals.

• Thread Pitch: Ensure the die can handle the required thread pitch for your bolts.

• Production Volume: For high-volume production, solid or carbide dies are suitable, while adjustable dies are ideal for smaller, custom batches.
