Fastener Manufacturing

Leading the Way in Fastener Tooling Innovation

Relink Inc.

High-Efficiency Fastener Manufacturing Solutions

We deliver custom-engineered tooling setups designed to upgrade your entire fastener manufacturing process, a critical operation that underpins countless global industries from construction to automotive. At its core, this high-precision production demands transforming raw materials into flawless components like screws, bolts, and nuts. By shifting to our premium tungsten carbide cold heading dies, punches, and trimming tools, high-volume fastener production plants can dramatically suppress micro-wear, eliminate operational bottlenecks, and achieve unprecedented tool longevity across continuous cold forming operations to ensure uninterrupted assembly chains.

Fastener Manufacturing Process

The fastener manufacturing process is a multi-stage journey requiring precision at every step to ensure quality and reliability. Here’s an overview of the key stages:

Material Selection

It begins with selecting materials like steel or stainless steel, chosen based on the fastener’s application—stainless for corrosion resistance, carbon steel for strength.

Forming

The material is then shaped through forming, such as stamping or hot forging, to create the fastener’s basic structure, like the head of a screw.

Threading

Threading follows, where tools like thread rolling dies form the helical threads, enhancing strength and efficiency. Relink’s flat and cylindrical thread rolling dies excel here.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment, including quenching and tempering, strengthens the fastener by adjusting its hardness and toughness for durability.

Surface Finishing

Finally, surface treatments like galvanizing or plating are applied to boost corrosion resistance and appearance, tailored to the fastener’s environment.
