Investigating the Correlation Between Corrosion-Induced Bolt Head Damage and Preload Loss Using Ultrasonic Testing

Investigating the Correlation Between Corrosion-Induced Bolt Head Damage and Preload Loss Using Ultrasonic Testing

The integrity of bolted components primarily relies on the quality of interfacial contact, which is achieved by maintaining prescribed bolt torque levels. However, challenges arise from corrosion-induced bolt head damage, potentially compromising the bolt preload, and quantifying such effects remain...
