A mechanical element which holds two or more parts of a
machine or a structure is known as fastener. The process is
called fastening.
Permanent fastening: it involves destruction during
separation
press fits
shrink fits
rivets
welding, brazing, and soldering
adhesives CH-8

Temporary fastening: it doesnt involve destruction
during separation
Bolts and nuts
studs and nuts
screws
keys
pins, etc
 Externally threaded fasteners
Internally threaded fasteners
Use:
to fasten parts together
for the relative adjustment of the adjacent parts

Bolt . Threaded
fastener designed
to
pass through holes
in mating

tightening a nut
from the end
opposite the head
of the bolt.

Finished vs.
Unfinished Bolts:

The difference between a finished and

Unfinished hex head bolt is a washer
Under the head of the finished bolt.
 2-13 Counter-sinking of the nut

Countersinking of nut
facilitates the gripping
of the bolt end when
the nut first enters
while it is threaded on
