Abstract
The present disclosure provides an improved screw and method of manufacturing thereof. The method comprising the steps of manufacturing 101 the screw body by cold forging process using ferrous alloy, making 102 a hole 301 on the screw head 201 to form a base of the hole and a wall thickness 501 of the screw head 201 for providing an internal drive, forming 103 a layer 602 of hard ferrous alloy in the hole 301 with the screw head 201 wherein the layer 602 having high hardness than the screw body 200, optionally smoothening 104 the layer 602 using a conventional process and machining 105 the layer 602 to obtain the internal drive 601 thereby achieving increase in hardness and wear-resistance of the internal drive 601.
Claims21
A method of manufacturing an improved screw, wherein said method comprising the steps of:
- manufacturing 101 the screw body 200 by cold forging process using ferrous alloy,
- characterized in that
- making 102 a hole on the screw head 201 to form a base of the hole 301 and a wall thickness 501 of the screw head 201 for providing an internal drive 601;
- forming 103 a layer 602 of hard ferrous alloy in the hole 301 with the screw head 201 wherein the layer 602 having high hardness than the screw body 200;
- and
- machining 105 the layer 602 to obtain the internal drive 601 thereby achieving increase in hardness and wear-resistance of the internal drive 601.
An improved screw made of two dissimilar ferrous alloys comprising:
- a screw head 201;
- an internal drive 601 located on the screw head 201 which comes in contact with a screwdriver;
- a screw body 202 made of a ferrous alloy extending from the screw head 201;
- and threads 203 around the screw body 202;
- characterized in that said internal drive 601 portion of the screw head 201 is made with a dissimilar material and a high hardness ferrous alloy compared to rest of the screw.
