Week 7 Flashcards
These are devices used to join or assemble parts together
Sheetmetal fasteners
Materials used for manufacturing of fasteners
Carbon steel
Alloy steel
Stainless steel
Inconel stainless steel
Titanium
Aluminum
This is the most commonly used material for fasteners
Carbon steel
This is mostly used in aircraft application fasteners
Titanium
This is used in areas of very light loads and application requiring reduction in weight
Aluminum
Various types of coating for fasteners area
Cadmium plating
Zinc plating
Chromium plating
Black oxidizing
Nickel plating
Is a type of fastener, usually made from metal, that commonly comprises a head at one end, a chamfer at the other, and a shaft characterized by an external helical ridge known as “thread”
Bolt
A perforated block usually of metal that has an internal screw thread and is used on a bolt or screw or for tightening or holding something
Nut
A nail-shaped or rod-shaped piece with a spiral groove and a slotted or recessed head designed to be inserted into material by rotating and used for fastening pieces of solid material together
Screw
Is a thin plate (typically disk-shaped) with a hole (typically in the middle) that is normally used to distribute the load of a thread fastener, such as bolt or nut
Washer
Are thin, circular, metal components that can be either stamped from a sheet or coiled from wire
Retaining rings
Are heavy duty anchor for fixing objects to masonry surfaces
Concrete anchors
Are designed to be placed into existing holes to provide a threaded receptacle so that screws, bolts or other fixings can be installed
Inserts
A short metal pin or bolt for holding together two plates of metal, its headless end being beaten out or pressed down when in place
Rivets
It is a process of joining permanently two pieces of sheet metal with rivets
Riveting
What do you call the special rivets
Tinners’ rivets
Riveting involves 3 operations
Drawing
Upsetting
Heading
Types of rivets
POP rivets (open end)
Closed end pop rivets (sealed)
Countersunk Pop rivets
Multi-grip rivets
Structural rivets
It is also known blind rivets, are used to connect two pieces of material in quick, efficient way
