Most of the high-strength bolts for wind power are grade 10.9, and a few are grade 8.8. For 10.9 grade high-strength bolts, the tensile strength should be 1250MPa≥ Rm≥1030MPa, the elongation should be A≥9%, the reduction of area should be Z≥48%, and the low temperature impact Energy (-45℃):KV2≥27J.

 

What makes the fasteners lose?

 

  1. Selection of bolt raw materials.
  2. Defects in the manufacturing process, resulting in easy breakage at the bottom of the thread during the test;
  3. The processing procedure is inverted (rolling thread before heat treatment), resulting in insufficient thread pressure and pre-tightening force;
  4. The unreasonable control of heat treatment temperature and time leads to insufficient metallographic structure and affects the final performance of the product.
