The ISO Metric Screw Thread System 2. The Unified Screw Thread System In countries other than the United States and Canada, the ISO Metric Screw Thread System is primarily used today. Unlike, most other countries the United States and Canada still use the Unified (Inch) Thread System. However, both are moving over to the ISO Metric System. It is estimated that approximately 60% of screw threads in use in the United States are still inch based. Other thread designations such as BSW, BSF, BA, etc. are also still in use today but are mostly produced in the capacity of a replacement part. Threads are manufactured by cold forming, cold rolling, hot forming, cold rolling or by the cut-thread process. The most common manufacturing method for standard fasteners up to 1” or 25mm is the cold forming or cold rolling process whereby both the head and the thread are produced with the material in the cold state.

Digital image correlation was used to capture the high temperature strain development during thermal and mechanical loading. Complementary thermogravimetric (TGA) and dynamic mechanical thermal (DMTA) experiments were performed on the tendons to elucidate their high temperature thermal and mechanical behaviour.
