Fastener courses to hold the industry together

Examples of various types of fasteners.

Whether it’s a whole machine, a simple component, or a complete vehicle, fasteners are essential to the construction of these objects. The absence of fasteners in design and construction may lead to adverse consequences. Besides possible safety implications, fastener failure can represent a significant proportion of a product’s warranty costs.

Understanding the basic properties of threaded fasteners will help engineers participate in improving the quality, efficiency, and profitability of any industry that uses, or requires an understanding of, fasteners.

Here are some benefits of studying more about fasteners:

  • You will get to determine the right size and strength of fasteners to be used in a product.
  • You will be able to understand the common reasons for fastener failure.
  • You will know the steps to prevent failure due to defects in fasteners.
  • You will be able to calculate the load acting on individual bolts when the forces act on the joint.
  • You will learn how to cut costs by making smarter fastener selection choices for a given application.
  • You will be able to identify whether a failure is due to a fault in the design specification or in the manufacturing process.
  • You will be able to establish the length of thread engagement needed to prevent thread stripping.
  • You will learn the key principles involved in the creation of bolted joints.
