Fastners

A fastener or fastening is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints; that is, joints that can be removed or dismantled without damaging the joining components. Welding is an example of creating permanent joints.

Benefits

Weight reduction in the component is typically achieved.

Ability to join high-strength steel up to a tensile strength of Rm = 1500 MPa.

Minimum space requirements are needed within the tool.

Tool maintenance is easy and simple.

Carbon Steel:

is the most common type of steel used in fastener production. Grades 2, 5, and 8 are typically the standard for carbon-steel based screws and bolts, with alloyed carbon steel being a higher-end variation on these metals.
