EBC Industries

One-Source Solutions

A total manufacturing system, EBC Industries is today among the most diverse operations of its kind. In addition to the specialty fasteners operation, the divisions of EBC offer customers a wide array of metal working services.

Count on us for the technology, engineering and versatility to make the part you need. We'll do the job complete-from purchase of bar stock through hot upset forging, heat-treating, complete machining, and threading. EBC can also provide complete testing lab services per customer specifications.

Choose from the Capabilities below:

• Upset Forge
• Thread Rolling
• Contract Machining
• Heat Treatment
• Metallurgical Testing

Upset Forge Division

There are few limits to the variety of parts EBC can upset forge. We normally produce forged parts from round bar or seamless tubing stock from 1/2 to 5 inch diameter, but in certain cases can manufacture to larger or smaller diameters. EBC engineers can often recommend combining several component parts into one forged piece, or forging a part that was formerly machined from bar.  The result is more reliable parts at less expense.

EBC Industries is always looking at cost savings for our customers. By taking a part that is machined from bar stock and redesigning it into a forged part we cut the cost of the material, sometimes in half. EBC will take a look at your product for cost savings ideas.

Complete upset forging capabilities, from state of the art tool design to finished products, enable EBC Industries to respond to your total needs. Upset forged heads can be designed to meet our customers' specific applications. There are few limits to the variety of parts EBC can upset forge. From simple square or round to complex geometric configurations, in most any length you need. Our Near Net Shape forgings offer higher value and greater strength. Upset forged parts have an improved grain flow, and as a result, are inherently stronger than conventionally machined parts.

Thread Rolling Division

The cold working that threads receive during the rolling process strengthens them in tension, shear and fatigue. A Rolled Thread will increase the thread strength by a minimum of 30% verses a cut thread.

When a thread is rolled, the Grain Flow of the material is not severed as it is in other methods of screw thread production as shown below in the Cut Thread vs Thread Rolled diagram below, but are re-formed in continuous unbroken lines following the contours of the threads. Rolled threads resist stripping because shear failures must take place across rather than with the grain.

Rolling also leaves the surface layers of the threads, particularly those in the roots, stressed in compression. These compressive stresses must be overcome before the tensile stresses can be built up which alone, can cause fatigue failures. This increases root hardness, up to 30%, adding considerably to the part's resistance to fatigue.

There are a number of reasons why it is inherently easier to achieve accuracy on pitch diameter, thread angle, lead and taper by rolling than by other processes and, what is often equally important, to maintain that accuracy over long periods. Control over roundness and drunkenness, while no easier to maintain by rolling than by other processes, is usually within the capacity of the average operator.

Improved fatigue strength, resulting from all the above factors, is reported to be on the order of 50%-75%. On heat-treated bolts from Rockwell C36 to 40 hardness that have the threads rolled after teat-treatment, tests show increased fatigue strength of 5 to 10 times that of cut threads.

EBC can roll threads from 1/2" to 6" Diameter. All Materials, Ferrous & Non-Ferrous can be processed. American Standard, Metric & Acme, UNF, UNC, UNR, UNJ, are the types of threads we can provide. Our quality systems are ISO 9001:2001 registered.

Contract Machining Division

CNC capability assures computer-controlled precision on any machined part you need.  EBC’s state of the art machines hold close tolerances on a range of diameters.

Complete CNC/DNC machining capabilities, along with conventional machines and heat-treating operations, give EBC the unique ability to supply ready-to-use parts. We are one of the most diversified manufacturers of machine parts and special threaded fasteners.
