Analysis of Sheet Metal Tapping Screw Fabrication Using a Finite Element Method

The malformation of sheet metal tapping screw threads in the screw threading process increases the cost of screw threading dies and their maintenance. Die factories do not reveal their screw threading die design techniques, so production and maintenance processes are established by trial-and-error o...
