    Combination screws and socket head cap screws are a common mechanical connecting element used for fixing and connecting various equipment and structures. In order to prevent the loosening phenomenon, the following treatments can be adopted.

    Use of locking agents: When assembling screws, appropriate locking agents can be applied to the threaded portion. The locking agent has the  property of increasing thread friction and damping effect, which can effectively prevent the screw from loosening.

    Use of elastic washers: Adding elastic washers between the screw and the hole can provide additional tightening force and prevent the screw from loosening by absorbing shocks and vibrations during vibration or force.

    Application locknuts: Locknuts are specially designed nuts with a locking function. They usually have an elasticated washer or embedded locking structure that increases the friction of the screw to prevent loosening.

    Use of preload: When tightening screws, applying appropriate preload can increase the tightness of the thread contact surface, improve the tightening force and reduce the possibility of loosening.

    Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the connecting parts to ensure that the screws are tightened properly and that loosening problems are detected and dealt with in a timely manner.

    Please note that the choice of treatment method should be decided according to the specific application and needs, and the above methods can be used individually or in combination to prevent the occurrence of screws from loosening, depending on the situation.
