Frequently asked some questions
Fasteners are hardware devices that mechanically join or affix two or more objects together. Common types of fasteners include screws, bolts, nuts, washers, and rivets.
Fasteners can be made from various materials including steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and plastic. The choice of material depends on the application and environmental conditions.
Consider factors such as the materials being joined, the load and stress on the fastener, environmental conditions (e.g., corrosion), and specific application requirements. If unsure, consult a fastener specialist.
Screws are typically used for joining materials by drilling into one material and forming threads, while bolts are used with nuts to join two unthreaded components. Bolts usually require a pre-drilled hole.
Applying the correct torque ensures that the fastener is tightened to the right degree, providing sufficient clamping force without causing damage to the fastener or the materials being joined.
Bolt grades are usually marked on the head of the bolt. For example, a Grade 8 bolt has six radial lines on the head, indicating high strength.
Common types of nuts include hex nuts, lock nuts, wing nuts, cap nuts, and T-nuts. Each type has unique features for specific uses.
Washers are used to distribute the load of the fastener, prevent damage to the surface being fastened, and reduce the risk of loosening due to vibration.
Rivets are used to join two pieces of material permanently. They are commonly used in applications where a secure, tamper-proof joint is required, such as in construction and automotive industries.
Self-tapping screws are designed to cut their own threads into the material as they are driven in. They are commonly used in metal and plastic applications.
Use lock washers, thread-locking compounds, or lock nuts to prevent loosening. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation.
Common issues include corrosion, stripping, and over-tightening. Use appropriate materials for the environment, proper installation techniques, and quality fasteners to avoid these problems.
