Analysis of Import and Export of Fastener Products

According to statistics, Canada and Mexico are the two largest exporters of fasteners in the United States, accounting for about 60% of total exports.

Compared with the same period of last year, the import and export volume of fasteners in the United States kept growing. From January to April 2011, the amount of fastener products in the United States increased by 20.5% year-on-year, while imports increased by nearly 35% year-on-year. In March 2011, the US fastener exports to Canada and Mexico hit a record high this year, up 16% and 21% respectively year-on-year.

In terms of imports, China’s Taiwan region is still the largest importer of the United States, accounting for about 32% of total fastener imports in the United States. Jin Mo network CEO Luo Baihui believes that the growth of US import and export volume is mainly affected by several major factors, one of the important factors is the price of steel. With the rapid economic development in countries such as China and India, the demand for steel in the construction and manufacturing of these countries has continued to rise, and the strain on global resources has led to rising prices.

At the same time, with the increase in the price of raw materials used in the fastener industry, fastener manufacturers are forced to increase the price of fasteners. In the future, if steel prices continue to rise, the price of fasteners will continue to rise.

Stainless Steel Clip

Clips and Fasteners are most commonly categorized as flat or sheet material that is formed into simple or complicated shapes. Most often, Clips and Fasteners are manufactured using both low and high carbon steels, depending on the application. In some applications, high carbon spring steels are utilized where a spring force is required that cannot be obtained with normal spring forces. When high carbon spring steels are used for manufacturing, it is a standard requirement that the product is heat treated and quenched to a hardness level that allows the product to flex without deforming. Heat treating and oil quenching are commonly used for the hardening process, but an Austemper heat treating process is typically the best practice for eliminating heat treat deformation.

Steels most commonly used in our process for manufacturing Clips and Fasteners are either low carbon, cold rolled steel (without heat treatment), and high carbon spring steels ranging from Grade 1050 to 1095, along with Stainless Steels and precious metals such as Brass, Phosphor Bronze, and Beryllium Copper. Clips and Fasteners that we manufacture typically range in material thickness of .010″ up to .080″, with many of our prototype and short run orders ranging from these sizes. We also have the capability of manufacturing designs in a wide range of shapes and sizes. We can supply Clips and Fasteners with a variety of special finishes or coatings to your specification along with various heat treating requirements.
