testing capabilities Eddy Current Testing (ET) Eddy Current Testing (ET) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses electromagnetic induction to detect surface and near-surface flaws in conductive materials. When an alternating current flows through a coil, it creates a magnetic field that induces circulating currents (eddy currents) in the test material. Disruptions to these currents caused by cracks, corrosion, or changes in material properties are measured and displayed, revealing potential defects. How the Test is Performed Preparation – The fastener or component is cleaned to remove dirt, grease, or coatings that might affect results. Coil Excitation – A probe containing a coil is energized with alternating current, generating a magnetic field. Induction of Eddy Currents – As the probe is placed near the conductive material, eddy currents are induced within the component. Disruption Detection – Any discontinuities, such as cracks or changes in material thickness, disrupt the flow of eddy currents. Signal Analysis – Variations in the currents are detected by the probe and displayed for interpretation by skilled inspectors. Documentation – Results are recorded to verify compliance and provide traceability. Why It is Performed Eddy Current Testing is performed because it is fast, highly sensitive, and effective for detecting surface cracks, corrosion, and material variations without damaging the part. Unlike some other methods, ET requires minimal surface preparation and can often be performed quickly on complex shapes, making it well-suited for fasteners and precision components. Detects cracks, corrosion, and material inconsistencies Can measure conductivity, hardness, and coating thickness Provides rapid results without the need for couplants or extensive cleaning Application to Engineered Fasteners For engineered fasteners, ensuring surface integrity and consistent material properties is critical. Fasteners must endure heavy loads, vibration, and environmental exposure in industries such as aerospace, energy, and defense. A surface crack or metallurgical inconsistency can lead to early failure in service.

OUR PRODUCTS Nord-Lock Washers Home / Products / Standard Products / Nord-Lock / TSP Manufacturing + Nord-Lock TSP Manufacturing is proud to be Nord-Lock’s preferred distributor to the energy industry, providing advanced wedge-locking solutions for bolted joints subjected to extreme vibration and dynamic loads. TSP Manufacturing offers both prepackaged and custom quantities of Nord-Lock products, along with expert technical product support. PRODUCT INFORMATION Nord-Lock Washers Nord-Lock washers are easy and effective to use while ensuring structural security for applications exposed to vibration and dynamic loads. Installing the washers The pre-assembled washers are installed in pairs, cam face to cam face. Lubrication is recommended when possible. Tightening Tighten Nord-Lock washers with standard tools according to the guidelines. Tightening guidelines for other bolt grades are available through our technical representatives. Untightening Untightening Nord-Lock washers is as simple as tightening. Note that since the locking function is not based on increased friction, the untightening torque is generally lower than the tightening torque. Therefore it is not possible to measure offtorque as verification of locking function. Reusing Nord-Lock Nord-Lock washers can normally be reused. As with all fasteners, they should be inspected for wear before reassembly. Make sure that the washers are reinstalled correctly cam face to cam face. Nord-Lock recommends lubrication of fasteners before reuse in order to minimize changes in friction conditions. WHEN ONLY THE BEST WILL DO Washer Materials We Stock: Delta Protekt Stainless steel 254 SMO INCONEL/HASTELLOY C-276 INCONEL 718 To order contact our team today CONTACT DOWNLOAD PRODUCT CATALOG Nord-Lock Washer Product Information A pair of washers for maximum safety Nord-Lock bolt securing solutions consist of a pair of washers with cams facing each other and serrations gripping the mating surfaces. They use cam-geometry to effectively prevent the bolt from vibrating loose. Tension prevents bolts from rotating loose Think of the bolt as a spring. Turning the fastener during tightening stretches the bolt like a spring, creating the required clamp load to hold the parts together. Nord-Lock washers secure bolted joints by increasing this clamp load if the bolt tries to rotate loose. When the fastener is tightened, the cams lock and the serrations on the outer faces of the washers grip into both the fastener and the clamped part, creating clear impression marks in both. Clamping load has been created by the bolt, keeping the assembly locked in place. Because the cam angle ‘α’ is greater than the thread pitch ‘β’ a wedge-locking effect secures the fastener against rotational loosening, even under the most severe conditions. When the fastener is untightened, sliding will occur between the two washers. The upper washer is locked to the nut or bolt head by the serrations. The lower washer does not rotate as its serrations are locked into the surface being clamped. As the cams slide over each other, the clamping load from the bolt is first increased as the bolt stretches, before being released as the cams pass each other.

MANUFACTURING PROCESSES Heat Treatment: Tempering Tempering is a crucial step in the heat treatment process for engineered fasteners and components. It follows the quenching process and involves reheating the material to a specific temperature below its critical point, then allowing it to cool. This process reduces brittleness, improves toughness, and helps achieve a desirable balance of hardness and ductility. Tempering Process: 1. Preparation After Quenching: After a fastener is quenched, it often has a hard but brittle martensitic structure. Tempering addresses this brittleness while retaining the strength gained during quenching. 2. Reheating: The fastener is reheated to a controlled temperature, typically between 150°C and 700°C (300°F to 1292°F), depending on the material and desired properties. For low-temperature tempering (150°C–250°C), hardness is maintained with slight toughness improvements. For high-temperature tempering (500°C–700°C), toughness and ductility are significantly increased, with some reduction in hardness. 3. Soaking Time: The fastener is held at the tempering temperature for a specific duration to allow changes in the microstructure. The time is determined by the material and the fastener’s size and application. 4. Cooling: After soaking, the fastener is air-cooled, water-cooled, or oil-cooled, depending on the process requirements and material. Effects of Tempering on Fasteners: Reduction of Residual Stresses: Quenching induces internal stresses due to rapid cooling. Tempering relieves these stresses, reducing the risk of cracking or distortion. Transformation of Microstructure: The brittle martensite structure transforms into tempered martensite, which has enhanced toughness and stability. Tailored Mechanical Properties: Tempering adjusts the balance of hardness and toughness, making fasteners suitable for specific applications. Improved Wear Resistance: Tempering enhances the wear resistance of fasteners, ensuring durability in demanding environments. Key Considerations in Tempering: 1. Temperature Selection: Lower temperatures maintain hardness but offer limited toughness improvements. Higher temperatures improve toughness and ductility but may reduce hardness. 2. Controlled Atmosphere: Tempering in a controlled environment (vacuum or inert gas) prevents oxidation or scaling on the fastener’s surface. 3. Material-Specific Parameters: Different materials require different tempering temperatures and durations to achieve optimal results. Benefits of Tempering for Fasteners: Enhanced Durability: Fasteners can resist mechanical and thermal stresses over extended periods. Improved Safety: Reduced brittleness minimizes the risk of failure under load. Customizable Properties: Tempering allows manufacturers to fine-tune properties for specific applications, such as aerospace or oil & gas. Applications in Engineered Fasteners: Tempering is essential for fasteners that must withstand mechanical loads, thermal stresses, and harsh operating conditions. Common examples include: Structural Fasteners: Bolts, screws, and nuts used in construction, automotive, and aerospace applications. High-Strength Fasteners: Fasteners for machinery, heavy equipment, and turbines. Critical Components: Fasteners for nuclear power plants, oil rigs, and space exploration. Challenges in Tempering: Over-Tempering: Excessive temperature or time can overly reduce hardness, compromising strength. Surface Oxidation: Without proper atmospheric control, oxidation can degrade the fastener’s surface quality. Dimensional Stability: Large or complex-shaped fasteners may experience slight distortion due to residual stress relief. Tempering Example for a High-Strength Bolt: 1. Material: Medium-carbon alloy steel (e.g., 4140 steel). 2. Quenching: The bolt is quenched to form martensite. 3. Tempering: The bolt is reheated to 600°C (1112°F) for 2 hours. This reduces brittleness and increases toughness while maintaining sufficient hardness. 4. Resulting Properties: High tensile strength, improved toughness, and resistance to fatigue.
