Abstract

Abstract: Thread Strength and repair capability are critical to successful screw joints for any mechanical assembly. This paper explores the effect of the thread damage utilizing hand calculations, the margin of safety (MOS) for internal & external threads and compares with the required design criteria limit. Hence, the reduction in thread capability is analyzed in terms of shear and bearing strength of threads. This paper also emphasizes the Industry-standard repair techniques such as Helical inserts, Oversize inserts, and Twinserts with limitations and expected process/techniques. Advanced thread repairs in the market such as solid-body thread inserts (key-style, Time-sert, Big-sert) are also discussed Keywords: Thread damages, Shear strength, bearing strength. STI (Screw thread insert)
