Thread Machining

Thread machining covers multiple processes for creating internal and external threads — rolling, milling, cutting, and grinding. Each method serves different applications: rolling cold-forms threads for maximum strength, milling offers flexibility for complex geometries, cutting handles standard production, and grinding delivers ultra-precision for critical components. We process 45# and 20# carbon steels, 6061/6063 aluminum alloys, and 304 stainless steel, meeting 6H internal and 6g external thread tolerances. IATF 16949-certified.

Process

Thread Types

Key Features

Thread Rolling

External threads (bolts, studs, fasteners)

Cold-forming process - no material removal, stronger threads due to work hardening and compressive residual stress

Thread Milling

Internal/external, left/right-hand, custom pitches

Single tool cuts multiple thread sizes, safer than tapping, excellent for large diameters and tough materials

Thread Cutting

Internal/external threads

Conventional turning on CNC lathes, standard production runs

CNC Thread Grinding

High-precision threads, ball screws, thread gauges

Rigid grinding for hardened materials, critical for sub-6H/6g tolerance applications

Diameter Range: Φ2–200mm

Length Range: 3–300mm

Tolerances: Internal 6H, External 6g

Performance Highlights

 

Thread rolling for maximum strength

Cold-forming displaces material to create thread profiles rather than cutting them. Rolling produces work-hardened surfaces with compressive residual stress, delivering higher fatigue strength than cut threads. Material savings of 15–20% versus cutting, with no chips or swarf.

Thread milling for flexibility and safety

Unlike tapping, thread milling tools are smaller than the hole diameter and move in a helical path to cut threads. Advantages include: single tool cuts multiple thread sizes, no risk of broken tap stuck in the part, ideal for large diameters (3/4" and above), and works well in tough materials.

Precision grinding for critical threads

Thread grinding produces the highest accuracy threads for hardened materials, including ball screws, thread gauges, and worm shafts. Closed-loop positional feedback ensures pitch diameter stability.

Multi-material capability

We process 45#/20# carbon steels, 6061/6063 aluminum alloys, and 304 stainless steel. Each material is thread-machined with optimized tools and parameters for the required tolerance (6H internal, 6g external).

Comprehensive threading options

From high-volume rolled external threads to precision-milled internal threads and ground threads for critical applications, we provide the full spectrum of thread manufacturing.

IATF 16949-certified facility

Applications

 

Thread Rolling for Fasteners and Studs

Bolts, screws, studs, and threaded pins for automotive and industrial assemblies are produced through thread rolling. The cold-forming process delivers superior fatigue strength and 15–20% material savings compared to cutting.

Thread Milling for Complex Components

Valve bodies, manifold ports, and structural components require internal threads with precise positional accuracy. Thread milling produces threads in single setups, eliminating the risk of tap breakage and allowing for custom thread sizes.

Internal Threads for Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic valve bodies and pump components require 6H internal threads with consistent lead and flank angles. Thread milling and CNC cutting deliver the required accuracy.

Precision Ground Threads for High-Stress Applications

Ball screws, thread gauges, and critical power transmission components are thread-ground to achieve the highest accuracy and surface finish standards.

Why Thread Machining

 

Multiple threading methods exist - each suited to different requirements:

Thread rolling – cold-formed, highest strength, material-efficient, ideal for high-volume fasteners

Thread milling – highest flexibility, single tool handles multiple sizes, eliminates tap breakage risk, ideal for large diameters and tough materials

Thread cutting – conventional turning, standard specifications, cost-effective for medium to low volumes

Thread grinding – highest precision, ideal for hardened materials and critical applications

 

For threaded connections - whether high-strength rolled threads, flexible milled threads, or ultra-precision ground threads - thread machining is the production method.
