བོད་ཡིག This article introduces the fundamentals of fasteners—bolts, nuts, screws, washers, and rivets—and their critical role in various industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and electronics. It explains the difference between threaded and non-threaded fasteners, and highlights why choosing the right material and coating (like stainless steel or zinc plating) is vital for performance and durability.
A practical guide to selecting fasteners based on load-bearing requirements, environmental conditions, materials to be joined, and assembly methods. The article covers key considerations such as tensile strength, corrosion resistance, thread type (coarse vs fine), and compatibility with tools. It also includes a quick-reference chart for common industrial use cases.
Explores how different surface treatments—like zinc plating, black oxide, galvanization, and PTFE coatings—enhance the corrosion resistance, aesthetics, and lubricity of fasteners. Ideal for readers interested in longevity, outdoor installations, or marine applications. Includes comparison charts and examples from automotive and infrastructure projects.
