Norloy Steel
Norris
Polished Rods
Norris Polished Rod bar and dimensions conform to
API Specification 11B, latest edition, and AISI Steel Products
Manual. Norris Polished Rods are furnished with cold-formed,
fully rolled threads to provide additional strength and fatigue
resistance. The cold-formed, fully rolled pin thread is produced
by completely cold-forming (reshaping) the steel fibers so they
follow the contour (shape) of the thread. The thread surface
that results from fully rolled threads improves its resistance to
corrosion and reduces abrasion within the thread.
The work-hardened flank provides increased surface tensile,
yield and shear strength. Due to the pressure deformation, a
residual compressive stress system builds up at the thread root,
which counteracts tensile loading. When compared to cut or
burnished threads, the load capacity and corrosion and fatigue
resistance of the rolled thread is significantly increased.
