Assembly Planbook - July 2008 - (Page 48) Adhesive Bonding may lose 15 percent to 30 percent of its seating torque when unscrewed. In other words, an uncoated fastener tightened to 100 in-lb would lose 15 to 30 in-lb due to relaxation of the joint. A threadlocker should prevent that torque loss and provide a locking strength beyond the seating torque. Testing will reveal whether the thread-locker is too strong or not strong enough. It will help engineers determine how many threads should be coated and whether the coverage should be moved up or down the fastener. A Most applicators provide testing services to ensure that assemblers have chosen the right thread-locker.

Adhesives and Automobiles. or expensive to be used for testing, the fastener is assembled into an industrystandard nut or a tapped fixture for testing. For chemical thread-lockers, the testing process can begin once the material is fully cured—usually 24 to 72 hours at room temperature. Heating the fasteners in a lab oven to at least 150 F for approximately 45 minutes can accelerate the curing process. Though the automotive industry has established clear thread-locking standards, most industries assess threadlockers by measuring the maximum tightening torque and the minimum breakaway torque.
