Looking for rework source for waxed screws

Looking for rework source for waxed screws

Looking for rework source for waxed screws

(OP)
We have rejected Aluminum screws. The screws were waxed for lubrication, but the wax was too much dry and caused problem in the assembly. I am looking for a reworking source. Could any one please provide me reworking source info for this type of work? This is the first time we have such a problem. Thanks.

RE: Looking for rework source for waxed screws

A better treatment may be dry film lube that can be applied either spray or liquid in a tumble batch. A little lube goes a long way. Develop a reduced torque for the lubed screws.

Hi plasgears,
Thanks for your post. But, the problem is, we are just a supplier and don't have any capacity of doing rework in-house. We get the products manufactured in Asia and deliver to our customers in JIT basis. In this case, our customer is facing the problem during assembly.
