Why Thread Rod ?
Thread Rod is widely accepted as the fastest and preferred method of
economically producing uniform smooth, precise threads of superior physical
qualities.
This process is also capable of performing non-threading operations such as
burnishing, knurling and rolling of helical and annular grooves of various
forms.
Thread Rod utilizes hardened steel rolls to produce external threads. The
working surfaces of the rolls have a thread form, which is the reverse of
the thread to be produced. In penetrating the surface of the blank, the
rolls displace material to form the thread roots, and force the displaced
material radially outward to form the thread crests.
