The Heat Debate: Pros and Cons of Hot and Cold Bolting Techniques

Fasteners are tools used in every industry and can be permanent (single-use) or temporary (can be removed and re-used) solutions. Customized bolts and screws are the main types of fasteners used by most industries, including aerospace/military/defense, automotive, construction, marine, medical, mining, energy/power generationpetrochemical, and more. B&G Manufacturing specializes in hot and cold bolting techniques. We also understand your company goals and provide solutions that will best serve your industrial application requirements.

A New Take on Stud Manufacturing

The History of Stud Manufacturing

Historically Studs were chamfered on a belt sander and hand stamped. This process was labor intensive and costly not to mention the increased risk for mistakes. Another method for stud manufacturing is chamfering in a lathe if the chamfer dimensions are precise such as for critical industries like aerospace, energy, and medical. Our studmaster machine significantly cuts down on production time and costs. A chamfer is a transitional edge between two sides of an object that is often created between the two sides of a 90* Angle. It is used in many applications to help ease with assembly when multiple pieces are involved and also removes a sharp edge which reduces room for workplace injuries. With metal applications it prevents damage to the metal.  The chamfered end is also called a “lark’s tongue” due to the similarity in shape.
