what’s the life cycle expectancy of a stainless steel anti galling silver plated keensert?

Question :

I am enquiring about the internal thread of the Keensert. I would like a rough estimation of the life cycle of the anti galling properties of the thread, assuming a good quality stainless steel bolt is used.

I am trying to find out the life cycle expectancy of a stainless steel

anti galling silver plated Keensert. I would like to know how many times

the threaded insert could be utilized before the silver plating would

start to wear away and whether dry film lubrication could be applied to

extend life.  The partnumber we would use  is KNH624J SP DFL

We are considering a Keensert for a repetitive use application which would require an internal thread with pure silver plating

Answer :

The life expectancy is improved by lubrification, this is standard only on self locking keenserts.

The keensert you require is very special! we recommend to carry out tests, the dry film lube is according to MIL PRF 46010
