The invention provides a production process of a self-tapping screw, relates to the technical field of production of self-tapping screws, and aims to solve the problems that a traditional self-tapping screw is easy to slip in
assembly, insufficient in
corrosion resistance, low in tapping precision and the like, an SWRCH22A cold heading steel wire is adopted, a hexagonal head, a
washer surface and a screw rod are formed through a five-
station cold header, a cross square groove is pressed, and an ST3.9 self-tapping thread is formed through thread rolling. The head is not damaged when a
machine tooth section is rolled to the top, the
pitch error of a self-tapping section is smaller than or equal to + / -0.03 mm,
carburizing and
quenching at 880 + / -10 DEG C and
tempering at 180 + / -10 DEG C are conducted, the surface
hardness is made to be 460-550 HV, the core
hardness is made to be 290-370 HV, a Dacromet
coating and
flange face paint
scratching technology is adopted for surface treatment, finally, a 2.5-tooth
tail cutting structure is machined through a high-speed
tail cutting machine, and the assembling compatibility is improved through the composite design of a cross square groove and a hexagon head. Gradient heat treatment realizes balance of surface
wear resistance and core
toughness, double coatings give consideration to
corrosion prevention and conductive connection, and accurate
tail cutting reduces the tapping resistance and improves the guide precision.
