    The document discusses threaded fasteners, including different types of fasteners, materials and grades used, tightening torque considerations, and common manufacturing processes. It notes that a Boeing 747 uses over 2.5 million fasteners including 70,000 titanium bolts costing $150,000. Tightening bolts to the specified torque is important to ensure an even load distribution and prevent loosening over time. Common fastener manufacturing methods include forging, rolling, and turning on screw machines.

    Threaded Fasteners

    Did you know that?


     the Boeing 747 uses about 2.5 million fasteners
    • 70,000 titanium costing $150,000
    • 400,000 other fasteners costing about $250,000
    • 30,000 squeeze rivets, 50cents each installed
     In certain applications (such as an engine
    head), you should tighten the bolt as much as
    possible, if it does not fail by twisting during
    tightening, there is a very good possibility that
    the bolt will never fail

    Why are fasteners used?

    Advantages
     Removable
     Easy to install
     Wide variety of standard parts

    Disadvantages
     loosening
     failure
     cost

    Fasteners.ppt - 3
    Types

     Machine screws

     Wood screws

     Tapping screws

    Standard Thread Systems

    Unified or American ACME


    SI (ISO)

    Pipe Whitworth
    (UK)

    Fasteners.ppt - 5
    Typical Designation
    1/2” - 13 UNC - 2A
    Terminology of screw threads
    external thread Sharp vee threads shown for
    clarity; the crests and roots are
    (B means internal) actually flattened or rounded
    during the forming operation.

    Class of fit
    (1 is loosest tolerance, 3 is tightest)

    Thread Series
    UNC (Unified Coarse)
    UNF (Unified Fine)
    Pitch (threads/inch)

    Nominal Diameter
    (also shown as decimal or screw #)

    Fasteners.ppt - 6
    Bolt Grades
     Grade indicates the tensile
    strength of the bolt
     Determined by bolt
    material and heat treating

    Fasteners.ppt - 7
    Tightening Torque

    It is typical on engines for bolts to have a


    specified tightening torque. Why?
     It results in a quantified preload on the bolts
     Insures that parts never separate
     Maintains friction (no sliding to shear forces)
     Insures even distribution of loading
    • prevent warpage of mating parts
    • uniform pressure distribution over seal or gasket
     Prevents
    bolt from loosening
     Reduces fatique effects

    Fasteners.ppt - 8
    Bolt Manufacturing Processes
     Forging (upsetting)

     Rolling
    a) b)

    Thread-rolling processes: a) reciprocating flat dies; and b) two-roller dies.


    Threaded fasteners, such as bolts, are made economically by these
    processes at high rates of production

    Fasteners.ppt - 9
    Manufacturing Processes -
    continued

     Turning on screw machines

    (a) Differences in the diameters of machined and rolled threads. (b) Grain flow in machined
    and rolled threads. Unlike machining, which cuts through the grains of the metal, rolled threads
    have improved strength because of cold working and favorable grain flow.
