10/26/2010 Bolts, nuts and screws
are basic hardware items used in every industry in need of fasteners. From
furniture crafting and manufacturing to construction and building, every
industrial application needs to use these important tools just to hold
everything in place.
Screws, nuts and bolts are fasteners used to mechanically connect things
together. A fastener may be defined as a mechanical device that holds two or
more components in position. Ever since seeing the result of fastening the axle
to the wheel, humans have been using fasteners to make lives easier. Most
fasteners have threads as part of their design as can be seen in screws, nuts
and bolts. Fasteners are produced primarily from ferrous metals such as alloy
steels and carbon; they are available in brass, Stainless Steel and copper. The
process of making them involves rods, bars or wires which are cut to length and
threaded.
Today we have reached a stage where a nut from one company and a bolt from
another can fit perfectly together. They come in standard and Metric sizes for
specific applications to fulfil wide variety of industry needs. Stronger,
lighter and easy-to-use are some of the obstacles the fastener industry is
facing and successfully managing. Laptop computers use these screws, nuts and bolts. Self-locking and
self-sealing screws, nuts, bolts and threaded inserts have also become common.
The latest challenge that we face in this day and age is of course, to produce
environment friendly fasteners which do not use carcinogenic plating such as cadmium.
Custom fasteners are also used in holding all types of building materials
together. A good fastener must be sturdy and durable, the right grade, so that
they can take the stress it is made for. Titanium is custom made for the
airplane industry because it is strong and lightweight. The military also uses
customized fasteners and is specified by the government specifications and
guidelines for the application.
