The Importance of Fasteners: Nuts and Bolts

1
The Importance of Fasteners Nuts and Bolts
2
Introduction
1. If you're building something, there's a pretty
good chance you'll need nuts and bolts to hold it
together.
2. That's because fasteners are the most common
way to join pieces of metal.
3
3. Screws, rivets, nails, and bolts are all
examples of fasteners. You might use one or more
types in any given project.
4. Fastener choice is important because they all
have different properties that make them better
suited for specific applications.

What are fasteners?

1. Fasteners are any mechanical device that connects
   two or more objects together.
2. They are often used to hold an object in place,
   but they can also be used to prevent movement
   between two objects.

5
3. The most common fastener is a screw, which is
a type of threaded fastener that pushes two
pieces together.
4. There are many different types of threaded
fasteners and each has its own function.
6
Classification of fasteners
1. Fasteners are the nuts, bolts, screws, rivets,
pins, etc. that hold things together.
2. They come in all shapes and sizes for many
different purposes.
7
3. One common type is a machine screw it is
often used to fix a metal plate to another part
with a threaded hole.
8
4. The head on the end of the machine screw can
be easily tightened or loosened by turning it
clockwise or counterclockwise respectively, which
makes this type very convenient to use when
replacing parts.
9
5. Threaded fasteners are often used because they
are relatively easy to install and their threads
can be tightened or loosened with little effort.
10
Different types of fasteners
1. There are many different types of fasteners,
but the ones that you'll use most often are bolts
and nuts.
2. These two types of fasteners connect two or
more pieces together.
11
3. A bolt is a type of fastener that goes through
holes in a surface, while a nut is used to hold
the bolt in place by threading onto it.
4. One way to remember the difference between
bolts and nuts is that bolts have threads on both
ends while nuts only have threads on one end.
12
Materials used in fasteners
1. Fasteners are used to connect two pieces of
material together.
2. There are many types of fasteners, including
screws, nuts, bolts, rivets, and pins.
13
3. The selection of the appropriate fastener
depends on the type of material it will be used
on.
4. For example, brass is an ideal material for
rivet heads because it won't corrode or lose its
shape when exposed to heat or water.
14
Manufacturing processes of fasteners

1. Fasteners are a necessary part of many
   manufacturing processes.
2. Without them, you couldnt build anything from
   the ground up.
3. That is why its important to know how they work
   so that you can use them in the right place at
   the right time.

15
4. Fasteners are typically used in a wide variety
of products, including cars, buildings,
furniture, electronics and more. 5. In most
cases, fasteners provide structural support by
holding two or more pieces together.
16
Surface treatments of fasteners
1. Fasteners are the nuts and bolts that hold
everything together.
2. Without them, nothing would ever fit properly
or be able to withstand any force.
17
3. As a result, fasteners can have a huge impact
on the integrity of your product. There are many
different types of fasteners, each with their own
unique properties that make them best for certain
applications.

4. There are many different types of fasteners,
each with their own unique properties that make
them best for certain applications. Below is a
list of some common surface treatments for
fasteners
19
-Zinc plating- Zinc plating offers corrosion
resistance in marine environments as well as
increased wear resistance from abrasion. It also
has excellent adhesion properties with steel
surfaces, making it easy to form threads on the
bolt head or nut face without having to use
threading compounds or lubricants.
20
-Chrome plating- Chrome plating offers low
friction, high hardness and excellent oxidation
resistance which makes this coating ideal for
both exterior and interior applications where
salt air, water spray or condensation could
compromise paint coatings.
21
Standards and specifications
1. Nuts, bolts, washers, screws, dowels, pins,
nails and staples are all fasteners.
22
2. They come in many sizes for different
purposes. Some fasteners tighten two or more
pieces together others hold pieces in place
until they can be permanently attached by welding
or bolting.
23
3. Materials used to make fasteners include metal
(steel), plastic (nylon), nylon coated steel wire
rope and fiberglass reinforced nylon wire rope.
24
Quality control
1. To ensure your fasteners are high quality,
make sure to choose the right material for the
job.
2. For example, if you're working with a metal
that has to be welded, then it's best to use an
alloy fastener.
25
Quality control
3. If the metal is already welded together, then
bolts will suffice.
4. And if you need a screw or some other type of
fastener that is meant for wood or plastic
materials, then it's best to use nuts and bolts
rather than screws.
26
Packing and shipping
1. If the metal is already welded together, then
It's important to pack your product carefully.
Packaging should be sturdy enough to protect the
product from damage during transport, but should
also be easy to open for the recipient.bolts will
suffice.
27
2. Also, take care not to over-pack your box with
paper or other materials that won't protect the
product. 3. If you're shipping heavy items like
furniture, it's usually a good idea to have a
delivery company pick up your package so they can
deliver it properly on their truck.
