FASTENER FAILURE ANALYSIS
Nuts and bolts break causing downtime and revenue loss. You need to know how and why it failed to be able to prevent future reoccurrences. Prevention will help eliminate liability risks, promote client retention and customer satisfaction.
Complete the
Fastener Failure Form
and send it to us along with the
failed fastener parts. A detailed failure analysis report with
corrective actions will be returned as soon as possible.
Fasteners can fail due to an unnerving variety of common and simple
reasons, many of which are caused by normal routine maintenance
practices and procedures.
How sure are you of your procedures?
Fastener Failures are Preventable
For detailed training on fastener identification, use, applications, specifications, torquing and installation techniques, click onto the Fastener Safety Seminar for more information.
TORQUE VALUE COMPUTATION AND JOINT ANALYSIS
Have large diameter fasteners you need to tighten properly? Have bolts you cannot identify? Have a multiple bolt connection you need to be sure is evenly loaded? Need to properly tighten a joint with a gasket to be sure it doesn't leak? Problems with wheel bolts? Treads on Snow Cats loosening? Contact us.
We will provide torque values for any diameter bolt, any style, any material.
TRAINING
Satisfy your ISO training requirements by one of our programs. Technical seminars can be for internal personnel as well as customers and for sales product training: Fasteners, Welding, Hydraulic Hose and Hose Fittings. This can also be in the form of product applications and failure analysis with preventative measures. We also offer training for ISO internal auditors.
WRITING
QC / QA Manuals, ISO Manuals or section updates, Process Procedures and Instructions. Specifications for Fasteners, Materials Specifications, Test Specifications, Plating or Surface Finishing. Product Manuals and Updating to latest ISO, SAE, ASTM or other Industry Standards. Technical Marketing Brochures and Literature.
OPERATIONS IMPROVEMENT
Process Mapping, Root Analysis, Lean and 6-Sigma methodologies for business, manufacturing and supply chain. Establish Continuous Improvement Practices, Auditing Schedules and Documentation Methods. Internal and External Customer Satisfaction Metrics, Vendor Performance Evaluation Metrics, Corrective Action Reports.
WELDING
Basic to Intermediate levels and a refresher for advanced welders. Training for sales personnel on the Features-Advantages-Benefits of Alloy electrodes; how to sell and demonstrate their products. We can teach customers how to maximize the use of their Alloy Electrodes or common stick rods. Discussed are: Electrode Diameters and their use with different thickness materials; AC/DC differences; Duty Cycle ratings; AWS numbering system; Joint Preparation and Types; Techniques for Cast Iron; Techniques for Out-of-Position welding and more.
