Threading Services
The machining experts at McCormick Industries offer a full selection of threading services, with a focus on precision threading. We can work with you to provide top-quality threaded parts within tight tolerances through the following capabilities:
- Internal threading
- External threading
- Thread milling
- Tapping
- Standard threads
- Metric threads
- Non-standard threads, such as square, acme, trapezoidal, V-threads
- Custom length and OD
We use optical comparators, thread gages, and pitch micrometers to verify precision.
What Materials are Used in Precision Threading?
The ideal material for a threaded part will largely depend on the specifics of the application. When selecting the right material for precision threading, numerous factors including weight, strength, temperature requirements, and chemical and corrosion resistance properties should be considered. Some of the most popular materials for precision threading include:
- Stainless Steel: If you require parts with high corrosion and chemical resistance, stainless steel presents an optimal choice. Certain grades of stainless steel are also suitable for applications involving extreme temperatures.
- Aluminum: Aluminum is typically used for applications requiring lightweight parts with a favorable strength-to-weight ratio.
- Brass: Brass has excellent machinability and is often used for threaded couplings and fittings where there is a need for a low friction coefficient and high corrosion resistance.
- Steel: Steel is typically used in industrial applications and is valued for its strength and durability.
- Titanium: Titanium makes an ideal material for creating strong and lightweight threaded parts.
Internal vs. External Threading
The team at McCormick Industries can provide internal and external threading for parts. Through the use of internal and external threads, parts benefit from improved stability while enabling easier disassembly. As you would expect, internal threads reside inside the parts, which include certain types of nuts such as half, round, coupling, square, and hex nuts. External threaded parts include different types of bolts, studs, screws, and various fittings. Having a combination of these parts can contribute more structural integrity for threaded parts and the assemblies that use them.
