          Quik-Tek Inserts

          QT Series Inserts

          The advantages:
          Ideal for thermoplastic parts
          Especially designed for thermal installation
          Screw-locked and low-tension anchoring
          High pull-out values
          Efficient installation due to single-spindle, 
          multiple spindle or automatic machines with preheating device
          Designed for thermoplastic plastics (PPS. ABS、PP etc.)

                  
          Installation:
          The QT thread insert is heated to the melting temperature of the plastic.
          As a result of the heat transfer upon insertion,the plastic is plasticised for a short
          time and flows into the undercut of the thread insert.Upon cooling,a low-stress
          interference is realised.

          How to fix damaged threads on a bolt?

          To repair damaged threads on a bolt, you can use a variety of methods, depending on the extent of the damage. Here are some common methods:

          1. Welding or Brazing
          Materials Required: Welding equipment (if applicable) or brazing materials.
          Steps:
          Welding or Brazing: If the bolt is badly damaged, you can weld or braze material onto the damaged threads to repair it.
          Re-thread: After the material has cooled, use the die to re-thread the bolt.

          2. Use epoxy or thread repair glue
          Materials Required: Epoxy or thread repair glue.
          Steps:
          Clean Area: Make sure the damaged threads are clean and free of oil or debris.
          Apply Epoxy: Fill damaged threads with epoxy or adhesive following the manufacturer’s instructions.
          Allow to Cure: Allow the adhesive to cure completely.
          Re-Thread: Once cured you can use the die to re-thread the bolt.

          3. Replace the bolts
          If the damage is too severe and cannot be effectively repaired, it is best to simply replace it with a new bolt.

          Tip:
          Always wear appropriate safety equipment when working with tools and materials.
          If you are unsure about the repair process, consider consulting a professional for help.
          By following these methods, you should be able to effectively repair damaged threads on your bolt.
