Common Failures for Fasteners -- Head Studs, Main Studs, Rod Bolts, etc

Recognizing Common Failures There are six types of metallurgical failures that affect fasteners. Each type has unique identifying physical characteristics. The following examples are designed to be used like a spark plug reading chart to help analyze fastener failures. While few of us have access to sophisticated analysis equipment, a standard Bausch and Lomb three lens magnifying glass will generally show 98% of what we want to see. Several of the photos below have been taken utilizing a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and are presented to simply illustrate typical grain configurations after failure. 1. Typical Tensile Overload In a tensile...

This is information that you can never find when you need it so here is a table for the ARP Head Studs, Main Studs, and Rod Bolts Torque Specifcations and Stretch Specs. Listed here are the general torque recommendations for most ARP fasteners. Recommended torque is equal 75% of the fastener’s yield strength. Simply read down to the correct fastener size, then across to find the torque value for your application. Always lubricate the fasteners prior to applying torque to ensure accurate readings. NOTE: The torque values represented here are intended to be for general information only, not for specific...
