Standard Fasteners

What are Fasteners? 

A fastener is a hardware device used to join or affix two or more objects together. It includes a variety of items such as screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, washers, and pins. These components are essential in various industries to create secure and durable connections between parts or structures.

Fasteners play a crucial role in the aerospace industry due to the demanding requirements of aircraft construction, where safety, reliability, and performance are paramount. They are essential for assembling aircraft components and structures, ensuring integrity and durability under extreme conditions.

Here are some reasons why high strength fasteners are important in the aerospace industry:

  • Structural Integrity: Fasteners are used to securely join aircraft components, including wings, fuselage, and control surfaces, maintaining structural integrity during flight.
  • Safety and Reliability: The aerospace industry relies on fasteners to ensure safety and reliability in aircraft operation, with strict quality standards and testing procedures to meet regulatory requirements.
  • Weight Reduction: Lightweight fasteners contribute to overall weight reduction in aircraft, improving fuel efficiency and performance without compromising structural strength.
  • Resistance to Extreme Conditions: Fasteners must withstand high temperatures, vibration, pressure differentials, and corrosive environments encountered during flight, ensuring continued performance and safety.
  • Maintenance and Repair: Fasteners facilitate easier maintenance and repair processes by allowing the disassembly and reassembly of aircraft components, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

  • Inconel: A nickel-chromium alloy known for its excellent resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, making it suitable for use in aircraft engine components, exhaust systems, and structural parts. This material is one of the most used for space related applications. 
  • Waspaloy™: A nickel-based superalloy with high strength, excellent creep resistance, and thermal stability, often used in turbine engine components, such as blades and discs.
  • A-286: A precipitation-hardening stainless steel alloy with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, commonly used in aerospace fasteners for its robust properties.
  • MP35N™/MP159™: A nickel-cobalt alloy known for its exceptional strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance, often used in aerospace applications requiring high performance under extreme conditions.
  • Monel 400 and 500 Series: Nickel-copper alloys with excellent corrosion resistance in various environments, including seawater and acidic environments, making them suitable for marine and aerospace applications requiring corrosion resistance and high strength.
  • Rene 41: Commonly used in aerospace applications, particularly in components subjected to extreme environments and high-stress conditions. A nickel-based superalloy known for its high strength, exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation, and excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures.

High strength materials: 

  • H-11: A chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloy steel with high hardenability and toughness, commonly used in aerospace tooling and components subjected to high temperatures and wear.
  • 17-4PH: A precipitation-hardening stainless steel with high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good mechanical properties, suitable for aerospace applications requiring both strength and corrosion resistance.
  • PH13-8Mo: A precipitation-hardening stainless steel alloy with high strength, good corrosion resistance, and excellent transverse toughness, often used in aerospace structural components and landing gear.
  • Stainless 300 and 400 Series: Stainless steels known for their corrosion resistance, strength, and versatility, commonly used in aerospace fasteners for their durability and resistance to oxidation and staining.
  • Alloy Steel (4140, 4340, 8740): Alloy steels are high-strength, low-alloy steels containing additional alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and nickel, offering enhanced mechanical properties and wear resistance.
