The article describes actual problems of high strength bolt joints, where it needs to exclude the bolt joint damage. Initial bolt tightening force (up to 2400 kN) requires to create the high tightening moment — up to 40 kN · m. The condition calls main problem of these bolt joints during montage/demontage in ship or dock, because there are a phenomenon of thread seizing for stainless steels. Producing experience shows that the local seizing is being enough often and can lead to destroying of bolts and thread holes of propeller hub, for example. The goal of the investigation is moreaccurate determination of friction ratio of certain thread surfaces with definite lubrication. The research has got the application layer for bladehub joint materials of buildup marine propellers.
