The "March 15" gala in 2025, with the theme of "Building integrity together to boost consumption", will focus on illegal acts that infringe on consumers' rights and interests in food safety, public safety, financial security, digital economy and other fields.

Although the theme of this year's party does not directly mention fasteners and their upstream and downstream industries, however, this small screw, known as "industrial rice", quietly runs through all walks of life with its tenacious quality, closely linked to the rights and interests of consumers, and its quality is not to be underestimated, just like the cornerstone of high-rise buildings, It is related to the stability and development of the entire industrial system.

PART 01 How Important is Fastener quality?

Fasteners, these seemingly insignificant tiny parts, are in fact the inseparable key existence in our lives. From fast cars to row upon row of buildings, from sophisticated machinery to ever-changing electronic devices, they are everywhere like hidden spirits behind the scenes.

If the quality of fasteners is not excellent, it will not only affect the smooth process of industrial production and manufacturing, but also bring immeasurable huge hidden dangers to the convenience and safety of daily life.

Imagine a speeding car on the highway, just because the quality of the bolts and nuts is not up to standard, loose or even broken, the consequences are simply unimaginable! The safety of consumers will instantly hang on a line, as if placed on the edge of a cliff, at any time may fall into the abyss of no return.

In the transportation industry, those fasteners that support the bridge standing firm and ensure the smooth extension of the track, once there is a quality problem, it will not only bring huge economic losses, but also like a storm, set off bad waves in the society, causing irreparable negative effects.

PART 02 Fastener quality problems occur frequently

In recent years, the quality problems of the fastener industry have appeared frequently like ghosts hidden in the dark.

In 2023, the Fujian Provincial Market Supervision Administration found in a spot check that two types of auto bolts were unqualified, and the problem was in the tensile test project. This means that in extreme cases, these bolts can break, posing a significant risk to the car.

In 2024, the Wuxi Market Supervision and Administration Bureau conducted spot checks on the quality of fastener products, and 3 batches of 30 batches of products were unqualified, and the unqualified discovery rate was 10%. In the same year, Hebei Province also detected a number of fastener products failed, the problem is that the wedge load test did not pass, which will lead to fasteners in practical applications can not withstand the load, there are safety risks.

PART 03 How to ensure the quality of fastener enterprises

The frequent occurrence of fastener product quality problems is a deafening alarm bell for fastener manufacturers. In order to avoid quality problems, fastener companies can work hard in three aspects: raw materials, production and testing.

Source protection, build a strong quality defense line

Fastener companies need to look at wire suppliers with a strict eye, scrutinize their qualifications, equipment and quality system, conclude a long-term cooperation alliance, and regularly review. Strict control at the source is like casting a solid foundation stone for subsequent production.

Professional casting, carved quality flowers

Increase investment in the selection and maintenance of production equipment such as cold heading machine, wire rolling machine, heat treatment equipment, refine the production process, strengthen personnel skills training, improve the operation skills and quality awareness of producers, so that the production link becomes a solid guarantee of quality.

Accurate detection, safeguard the Great Wall of quality

In addition to the efforts in raw materials and production, the testing process can not be ignored. Equipped with cutting-edge testing equipment such as hardness tester, tensile testing machine, optical testing machine, etc., and regularly calibrated to ensure accurate measurement. Build a perfect inspection system, and quality traceability system, record the whole life cycle of products, so that product quality is rock-solid.

Quality is the basis of products, products are the cornerstone of enterprise development. For fastener enterprises, product quality is related to production, transportation and even affecting the Chinese side of life. Enterprises should strengthen quality awareness, strictly control the production process, and provide safe and reliable fastener products for the society. Jointly create a good faith, worry free consumption environment, to boost consumer confidence and contribute to the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.
