TAPTITE2000®Thread Rolling FastenersLeader s i n Lower i ng t he Cost of Ass embl y®®TAPTITE 2000® thread forming technology joins two unique conceptsand advances fastener performance to new levels. TAPTITE ® 2000™fasteners afford end-users with enhanced opportunities to reduce theoverall Cost of Assembly .TAPTITE 2000® fasteners are designed to provide the benefits of priorTaptite® fastener products with an innovative new thread design — theRadius Profile ™ Thread. The proven Trilobular ™ principle is maintainedwhile incorporating the Radius Profile ™ thread. The result is a new generation of TAPTITE 2000 ® fasteners, which provides excellentmechanical, assembly, and ergonomic characteristics surpassed by noother technology.TAPTITE 2000® Screws and Bolts®®2.Radius Profile™ ThreadTAPTITE 2000® HEAT TREATMENTTAPTITE 2000® bolts perform well in largediameter sizes in deep thread engagements.In the past, the limitations of case-hardenedproducts restricted the exploitation of in-placecost savings for larger diameter Trilobular™fasteners. However, TAPTITE 2000® screwsand bolts are available with 3 different typesof heat treatment: CORFLEX®-I, CORFLEX® N,and case hardened, making the fastenersadaptable to a wider variety of applications.CORFLEX®-I Heat Treatment – CORFLEX ®-ITAPTITE 2000® bolts are neutral hardened tograde strength, metric 8.8, 9.8, 10.9 or anyintermediate value.The thread forming zoneis selectively induction hardened in order toform threads in untapped nuts. CORFLEX®-I heat treatment allows TAPTITE 2000®thread rolling bolts to provide in-place costsavings in large structural applications withstrength, ductility and toughness equal tograde strength machine screws or bolts.CORFLEX ®-I heat treatment ...
