This dataset examines how screw diameter category influences torque retention when subjected to temperature cycling, a common stress condition in assemblies such as electronics enclosures and automotive fittings. The Torque Retention Index (TRI) is defined as the ratio of the remaining insertion torque after a defined number of thermal cycles to the initial torque, expressed as a percentage. The five diameter categories chosen here represent typical nominal sizes used across metric and imperial fasteners, enabling a controlled comparison of geometric effects on mechanical stability.

Data were generated from a controlled simulation where specimens of equivalent material and thread geometry underwent repeated temperature swings between -20°C and 120°C. Torque measurements were taken after completion of the cycling sequence, and the final values were normalized to the initial torque, producing the TRI values shown in the chart. The dimension explored—diameter category—captures the interaction between thread engagement, stiffness, and stress distribution under thermal stress. Larger diameters often provide greater engagement but may introduce higher residual stresses and different creep behavior, while smaller diameters might concentrate stress and reduce retention under cycling.

In the chart, the highest TRI occurs at Diameter 3.5mm (94%), suggesting an optimal balance between engagement and stress distribution for the tested condition. The 2.5mm category also demonstrates strong retention (92%), while 2.0mm and 3.0mm show slightly lower values (88% and 89%). The 4.0mm group returns to 90%, indicating diminishing returns beyond a certain size under these operating parameters. These patterns can guide design choices: for thermal cycling environments, selecting a diameter that maximizes engagement without overloading the hub can improve long‑term torque reliability. It is important to note that this dataset is synthetic and assumes identical material properties and coatings; real-world results will vary with alloy grade, heat treatment, lubrication, and mounting torque. Nevertheless, the data illustrate how a simple data dimension—diameter category—can significantly affect performance metrics under adverse temperature conditions. When communicating reliability to stakeholders, such a dimension helps quantify trade-offs between fastener size, cost, and performance, and can be extended to include coatings, thread pitch, or installation torque.

Future work could incorporate more test conditions and additional diameter categories; including error bars or confidence intervals would reflect measurement variability; a data-driven approach would map a broader design space, enabling engineers to select diameters that align with material limits and service life requirements.
