11、the internally threaded member when both members are in the free state and which,when assembled,become the same size and develop a holding torque through elastic compression,plastic movement of material,or both.By custom,these threads are designated as Class 5.Tentative Class 5 fit threads were firs
12、t published by the National Screw Thread Commission(1928),and alternate Class 5 appeared in the 1944 Handbook H28.These standards were helpful in stabilizing design;however,in spite of restrictive tolerances,loosening or breakage of externally threaded members has been all too frequent.Also,minimum
13、and maximum torque values were established,the validity of which has been generally accepted.The tentative and alternate standards,which were based on National Bureau of Standards and industry research,testing,and field study,represent the first attempt to establish an Amer-ican standard for interfe
14、rence-fit threads.These specifications are published in Appendix A.In 1947,ASA Sectional Committee B1 on Screw Threads established Subcommittee 10 under the chairmanship of Harry Marchant to study the problems of interference fits.A subgroup of the subcommittee,chaired by W.S.Brown,conducted a compr
15、ehensive survey of design,production,and driving practices in the automotive,implement,railroad,and fastener indus-tries and found that all were experiencing difficulty.Typical problems were:(a)the variety of materials and heat treatments used for externally threaded members;(b)variations resulting
16、from rolling,cutting,or grinding external threads;(c)the huge variety of chemical analyses and physical and mechanical properties encoun-tered in the forged,cast,die cast,and rolled materials into which the externally threaded members are driven;(d)the widely varying effects of chemical coatings,platings,and lubricants;and(e)the inability to closely control sizes of tapped holes in various materials.It was impossible to establish a standard at that time,but it was agreed that interference-fit th
