Composite joist floor system

Номер: US20130008112A1
Принадлежит: Nucor Corp

The composite joist floor system includes joists supported by supporting members. Corrugated steel decking is positioned over the joists such that the corrugations are substantially perpendicular to the joists. Self-drilling, self-tapping, stand-off screws are spaced along the length of the joist, aligned with the deck corrugations. These stand-off screws provide the required shear transfer between the joist and concrete slab to form a composite floor system. The placed concrete encapsulates the upper non-threaded shank portions of the stand-off screws and the end of the joists. After the concrete has cured, the resultant system comprised of steel joists, steel decking, stand-off screws, and concrete, act together to form a composite system with greater load carrying capacity and less vertical deflection. The stand-off screws connect the joist upper chords to the concrete slab allowing the joist and concrete slab to act as a unit, by transferring shear between the two joined components.

A phosphated screw characterised in that the screw is provided with a siliceous sealing after phosphating.2. The phosphated screw according to claim 1 , characterised in that the screw is rolled only after phosphating and the application of the siliceous sealing. The present invention relates to a phosphated screw.Currently in the motor industry, all internal engine screws are phosphated and subsequently oiled in order to maintain a certain resistance to corrosion and a defined coefficient of friction in accordance with OEM and German automobile industry standards. This creates the problem that the necessary oiling renders the screws so oily that oil residues collect in the transport packaging, which must be cleaned before being returned. In addition, the excess oil dirties the automatic assembly systems. These systems must then be cleaned frequently, resulting in the system having to remain idle unnecessarily. The application of oil also causes any dirt or debris which comes into contact with the screws to adhere thereto. In the case of large foreign bodies, this can lead to incorrect screw-fitting.Based on this prior art, the object of the present invention is therefore that of creating phosphated screws which do not require oiling, and which nevertheless have the necessary resistance to corrosion and in particular the predetermined coefficient of friction.Previous attempts to solve this problem have involved providing screws with solid film lubricants and the like. Solid film lubricants, however, have the disadvantage that they are either too thick, produce too much abrasion or are not sufficiently resistant to pressure.Different oil blends were also tried, but these too gave unsatisfactory results.According to the invention, the above-mentioned object will be solved for the first ...
