Thread Rolling
Thread Rolling
Superior Thread Rolling is the world’s premier aerospace thread rolling shop. When quality matters most, and performance is a must, count on Superior Thread Rolling to put the best possible threads on your parts.
The thread rolling process improves grain flow in the thread, compresses material at the root of the thread, and produces surface finishes of 16 or better. This means your product will be capable of a much higher fatigue life and will torque more consistently.
Rolling Threads Others Can’t
Superior Thread Rolling pushes the limits of what’s possible in thread rolling. We have thread rolled parts up to 54 HRc using proprietary processes developed in-house by our experienced staff and engineers. If your next thread rolling project requires something special, or another thread rolling shop can’t do the job, start a conversation with Superior Thread Rolling. Our engineers can help guide your design to maximize strength and manufacturability.
Exactly Right the First Time
Rejected parts cost money and waste time. They can even strain or ruin relationships with your customer. Superior Thread Rolling is here to partner with you to get high quality parts to your customers on time!
Superior Thread Rolling uses the Oasis Vision Inspection system on every job. We can sample or 100% inspect thread rolled features with extreme accuracy using this state-of-the-art equipment. Reports are generated (by serial number if applicable) showing each result compared to the allowable tolerance of each thread feature.
Comprehensive Thread Rolling Inspection In-House
Many aerospace parts require testing of the rolled threads to ensure quality at the microscopic level. Superior Thread Rolling’s in-house Metallographic Lab is approved for every major aerospace Prime and Tier 1 in the industry. We’ve also recently added Mag Particle and Fluorescent Penetrant inspection in-house to further serve our thread roll customers with even faster lead times.
