Chipless forming for high-strength screw solutions

Thread rolling for maximum strength and efficiency.

Forming is a central manufacturing process in the production of custom screws, special screws and fasteners. In contrast to machining, the material is plastically deformed without cutting, without material loss. Thread rolling in particular is an extremely economical and efficient forming process that ASO Schrauben uses specifically to implement high-strength and durable screw solutions.

Reliable fasteners through controlled forming processes

During thread rolling, the screw thread is formed into the material by pressure between rolling tools. The grain flow of the material follows the thread geometry, which leads to a significantly higher fatigue and tensile strength compared to cut threads. At the same time, very smooth surfaces are created, which improve the screwing-in behavior and reduce the notch effect – a decisive advantage for safety-relevant applications.

The forming technology is particularly suitable for medium to large quantities, but can also be used economically for custom screws with customer-specific dimensions. Thanks to the efficient use of materials, short production times and high process reliability, fasteners with consistently high quality can be manufactured.

Forming & machining: Quality and strength

At ASO Schrauben, we combine the advantages of forming and thread rolling specifically with machining processes. While forming ensures high strength, optimum material utilization and reproducible basic shapes, machining enables the precise finishing of special contours, fits, functional surfaces or special head shapes. This results in tailor-made special fasteners and custom screws that are precisely tailored to the requirements of our customers.

Advantages of forming at ASO Schrauben at a glance

Reliable fasteners through controlled forming processes

For thread rolling as a forming technology at ASO Schrauben, a variety of common and high-strength materials are suitable, including unalloyed and alloyed steels, quenched and tempered steels and stainless steels. Adapted to the respective application, the fasteners can also be provided with functional surfaces, for example for corrosion protection, wear minimization or to improve assembly properties. The combination of material-appropriate forming and precisely selected surface coatings results in custom screws that function reliably even under demanding mechanical and environmental conditions.

Specialist for special fasteners in pressure equipment construction

We offer you reliability in safety-critical applications.

A particular focus of ASO Schrauben is, among other things, the production of special fasteners for pressure equipment. Our connecting elements are used wherever maximum safety, material quality and manufacturing precision are required – for example in pressure vessels, flange connections, heat exchangers, valves or steam systems, in turbine construction and in classic mechanical engineering.

Thanks to many years of experience and modern manufacturing technologies, we produce screws according to drawings or special standard specifications – even from a quantity of 1!

Our production meets the strict requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU) and relevant regulations such as AD 2000-Merkblatt W0. The corresponding certificates (e.g. 3.1 / 3.2 according to EN 10204) document the quality and traceability of our products – a clear added value for safety-critical applications.

We manufacture everything for you - whether according to European or international standard!

Our special fasteners are used where standard solutions do not fit – for example, at high pressure, extreme temperatures, or aggressive media. Special fasteners made of special TÜV-tested pre-material are often the only solution in the industry for reliably implementing complex, safety-relevant applications.

At ASO Schrauben, the perfect connection is our focus – not only technically, but also in cooperation with our customers. With individual solutions and high quality, we support your projects precisely.

Where our fasteners are used

Another advantage of machining is the wide variety of materials. As an experienced manufacturer of custom screws, we at ASO Schrauben process steel, stainless steel, aluminum as well as special and high-performance materials. This also allows complex screw geometries, special thread shapes, fits or functional surfaces to be implemented with high repeat accuracy and excellent surface quality.

Our fasteners types

Special screws can be designed in very different designs and functional types. Our common types include screw bolts with full & reduced shank, threaded rods and studs, which are often used in pressure equipment or flange connections. Other variants are socket head cap screws, fitted bolts, eye bolts or special fasteners with special thread forms. The combination of different head shapes, thread types and materials creates highly specialized fasteners that are precisely tailored to your requirements.
