Applications of Fastener

Fasteners are a type of mechanical device used to join two or more objects together, typically to form a non-permanent connection. They come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials to suit different applications. They are mainly used in applications such as bolts, nuts, clips, and rivets.

 

Construction Industry
Within the construction industry, fasteners are ubiquitous. They're essential for connecting pieces of wood, steel, concrete, and other materials in the creation of buildings, bridges, and infrastructure. From screws, bolts, and nails for general construction, to specialized fasteners for securing roofing or drywall, the industry would be lost without them.

 

Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, fasteners are equally critical. Cars, trucks, and motorcycles are assembled with an array of fasteners, such as nuts, bolts, screws, and rivets. These secure everything from engines and transmissions to body panels and interiors, ensuring a safe and reliable ride.

Manufacturing Industry

The manufacturing industry leverages fasteners in a myriad of applications. These components are used to assemble machinery, furniture, appliances, and much more. They also play a significant role in maintaining equipment, ensuring machinery can be safely and easily disassembled and reassembled for repairs and maintenance.

Aerospace Industry

Fasteners also have their place in the aerospace industry. The production of aircraft and spacecraft hinges on the use of high-strength, lightweight fasteners such as aerospace bolts and rivets. These ensure the structural integrity of craft exposed to extreme conditions and stresses during flight.

Electronics Industry

Lastly, the electronics industry relies on a unique subset of fasteners. Tiny screws, standoffs, and other specialty fasteners are used to secure delicate electronic components, ensuring they remain safely in place and function correctly within devices such as computers, smartphones, and televisions.

 

Manufacturing methods of Fastener
 

Generally speaking, there are three main ways to produce a fastener: cold forging, hot forging, or machining. Based on the type of fasteners to produce and the metal they are made from, one method may be more preferable to the others. Standard fasteners are commonly manufactured through cold forging (without heating up the material).

 

Cold forging
This method enables the high-speed manufacture of net shape parts or near net shape parts with favorable mechanical properties and a high-quality surface finish. Another benefit to cold forming over hot forging or machining is work hardening. During cold plastic deformations, the material's crystal structure undergoes profound changes, becoming stronger and more resistant. The result is a finished part with better physical and mechanical properties. The process does present some limitations, in that parts with bigger diameter need more pressing force to be shaped. Therefore, other methods may be preferable.
The performance of cold forming machines depends, among other things, on the size of the fasteners to be manufactured. Some can reach a speed of 300 parts per minute or even more. The smallest screws and bolts, used for electronic components and clockworks, have a diameter of less than 0.5 mm, while the largest cold formed screws have a diameter of around 30 mm.

Bolt

Hot forging
Hot forging is the common method for producing bolts with large diameters starting with a thread size of approximately M36 or more, and a length of approximately 300 mm and more. The bar stock is heated up to high temperatures to make the material more malleable and then fed into a forging press. The temperatures are determined by the bar material, geometry, and tolerances. With this process, it is possible to manufacture even complex shapes and high degrees of forming. Hot forging is also the process of choice for manufacturing fasteners made from nickel-based alloys and titanium alloys. A distinctive feature of hot-formed fasteners is their raw surface structure. Hot forging has its own disadvantages, as it is very time-consuming.
Unlike machining (which we will tackle in a second), cold and hot forming are chipless processes.

 

Machining
Machining is a manufacturing technique in which a metal is cut into a desired final shape and size by a controlled material-removal process. This method is really only suitable for non-standard fasteners and small quantities, as it generates a great deal of metal swarf, and it is also time-consuming.

 

Fastener standards

 

 

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) currently has 66 active published standards under the B18 designator for fasteners. The quality-focused standards "establish in-process and final inspection requirements for fastener products" and provide a "receiving inspection plan for fastener purchasers."

ASME standards include:
B18.1.1: Small Rivets
B18.1.2: Large Rivets
B18.2.3.1M: Metric Hex Cap Screws
B18.3 Socket Cap, Shoulder, Set Screws, and Hex Keys
B18.6.1 Wood Screws
B18.6.2 Slotted Head Cap Screws, Square Head Set Screws, And Slotted Headless Set Screws
B18.6.3 Machine Screws, Tapping Screws, and Metallic Drive Screws
B18.6.9: Wing nuts
B18.18 Quality Assurance For Fasteners

 

Heat and Surface Treatment of Fastener

 

In many cases, fasteners undergo heat treatments, which affect their microstructure and thus their physical properties, such as strength and ductility. The process steps depend on the metallurgical characteristics. Steel fasteners, for example, are heated to a specific temperature according to the carbon content, and they are kept at this temperature for a specific time. Subsequently, the parts are quenched in water or oil to increase their strength and hardness. The parts are then reheated - to a lower temperature - to achieve greater ductility with fewer distortions in the microstructure. A heat treatment line for steel fasteners, for example, features washing, degreasing, hardening, quenching, washing, annealing and dyeing stations. Usually, these lines are mesh belt furnaces, where fasteners travel at a certain speed through the various stages.

 

Sometimes, surface treatments may be required as well. For instance, special coatings may be applied to improve fasteners' properties. Case-hardening is used for tapping screws and self-drilling screws, for example. The screws are heated and kept for a certain time in a carbon-rich atmosphere. The carbon seeps into the surface, increasing the local carbon content. Then, the screws are quenched and thus hardened. As a result, the surface of such screws is rather hard while their interior remains ductile.

 

Special coatings may be applied to improve corrosion resistance. Such a coating is achieved, for example, by galvanization.


After the processing is done, fasteners undergo a final cleaning step and are then ready for packaging and shipping.

A: A fastener (US English) or fastening (UK English) is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints; that is, joints that can be removed or dismantled without damaging the joining components.

Q: What are the four types of fastener?

A: Screws. Screws are an essential fastener for a variety of applications, from joining wooden boards to securing electrical components. ...
Nuts and Bolts. Nuts and bolts are commonly used as fasteners to connect separate pieces. ...
Washers. ...
Rivets. ...
Nails.

Q: What is the surface finish of fasteners?

A: In there are surface finish methods such as cadmium plating, chromium plating, silver plating, nickel plating, zinc impregnation, etc. Experienced fastener buyers will recommend suitable surface treatment methods for customers according to the working conditions.

Q: What are fastener sizes?

A: Common threads per inch sizes are: 4, 4-1/2, 5, 5-1/2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 48, 56, 72, 80. Most fasteners fall into coarse and fine categories, but there is also extra fine and other designations.

Q: How are fasteners measured?

A: Fastener length is measured from where the material surface is assumed to be, to the end of the fastener. For fasteners where the head usually sits above the surface, the measurement is from directly under the head to the end of the fastener.

Q: Which tool should be used when a fastener is extremely tight?

A: Impact drivers and impact wrenches are the go-to tools when you're looking for some extra force to motivate a stubborn fastener to release. The magic of impact tools lies in how they can turn a straightforward force applied to one end of the tool into a powerful twisting motion at the other end.
