MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR SOCKETS 1 Blank cropped to size from 31CrV3 2 3 Hot forged in the forging press. Accurately cropped to size. 3 4 Outside diameter turned and knurled. For this step and the next, GEDORE uses high-tech machinery from its in-house mechanical engineering department. 7 Hardened under protective gas atmosphere, followed by annealing. 5 6 8 9 Degreased, since grease would destroy the protective gas atmosphere in hardening. Counterbored, square socket drive is fluted (ball-stop flute), manufacturer and socket size are permanently stamped. Sand blasted in preparation for surface coating. Nickel-plated and matt-chromeplated to prevent dazzle. The electrolytically applied nickel coating ensures corrosion protection. The electroplated chrome improves the look and gives the socket a perfect finish. Pro GEDORE › Use of high alloy 31CrV3 steel › Heat formed sockets which have a wear resistant, fine-grained structure and have a long › › service life Narrow production tolerances ensure an ideal load transmission and low wear and guarantee a long service life Distinctive ball catch ensure secure fit on the square drive › Good grip due to deep knurling even when held with oily hands or when working with protective gloves › Good look due to chrome plating and varnishing › Broad range in all sizes, drive and drive-side and for a wide range of screw types. One of the most diverse ranges in the market. (*) Not applicable to 1/4" hexagonal sockets Like all hot-forged tools, GEDORE sockets (*) are characterised by their homogeneous structure. The fibres run in parallel with the contour of the tool. The uninterrupted fibre orientation prevents residual stresses in the structure. In cold-forged tools, the fibres or lines of stress may deviate. Fibre orientation is equally important in nature. UNIT-DRIVE PROFIL For example, in a tree, the soft fibre orientation is parallel to the branch, so the wood is resistant to bending and twisting. If fibres become kinked, the branch loses its stability at the kink point and breaks. The low-stress GEDORE sockets withstand suddenly occurring peak forces better than cold formed sockets.
