NICKEL FASTENERS

Fasteners are hardware elements which, as the name suggests, mechanically bind objects together. Fasteners have to meet damage and pressure resistance requirements, they must have a proper yield strenght vs. tensile strength ratio and most of all – be immune to corrosion and extreme working conditions to assure safety and comfort for device operators and longevity, trouble-free operation of the device.

Fasteners are split into the following groups:

• screws – they may have different length, thickness, head shape and screw drive type;
• bolts – threaded fasteners that could be categorized by length, diameter, head shape, type of shank and tip;
• nuts – used in conjunction with a mating bolt or screw, they come in different thread sizes;
• washers – are auxiliary elements to bolted joints. They insulate the joined surfaces from bolt, they prevent from working loose and distribute the load of the threaded fastener. They are also a must-have element in applications where the bolt head is smaller in diameter than the actual insertion hole;
