Gentlemen,
I will post a few pictures to explain the product.
The way to construct PEB (Pre Engineered Building) is to first erect a framework :
https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ad40cb03-a931-4112-8f46-33b48ca1ac71&file=Framework.jpg
The screw I am making is a Self Drilling Screw. 1022 is the standard material.
The screw has to be hard enough to cause the drilling (in 6mm steel plate), then the threads have to tap the steel plate until the flange touches. It should NOT break during the process.
I am doing Carbonitriding...
I am making special fasteners from 1022 steel.
The screw needs a high surface hardness (58-60 HRc) but should be able to bend also (5-7 degrees).
In my heat treatment process I get the hardness but the screw does not pass the bend test. It is brittle and breaks.
HELP !
