  2. Stud welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stud_welding

    [1] Stud welding uses a flux tip and a ferrule, a ceramic ring which concentrates the heat, prevents oxidation and retains the molten metal in the weld zone. The ferrule is broken off of the fastener after the weld is completed. This lack of marring on the side opposite the fastener is what differentiates stud welding from other fastening ...

  3. Threaded rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threaded_rod

    For studs that are not completely threaded, there are two types of studs: full-bodied studs, and undercut studs. Full-bodied studs have a shank equal to the major diameter of the thread. Undercut studs have a shank equal to the pitch diameter of the screw thread. Undercut studs are designed to better distribute axial stresses. In a full-bodied ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder-actuated_tool

    The propellant acts on the piston, which then drives the fastener into the substrate. The piston is analogous to the bolt of a captive bolt pistol. A tool is considered low velocity if the average test velocity of the fastener is not in excess of 300 ft/s (91 m/s) with no single test having a velocity of over 108 m/s (350 ft/s). [1]

    The stud is then deformed through the softening of the plastic to form a head which mechanically locks the two components together. It is a versatile technique benefiting from being quick, economical and consistent.

  7. Gender of connectors and fasteners - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_connectors_and...

    In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally designated as male or female, [1] a distinction referred to as its gender. [2] The female connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the male connector.

  8. Nut (hardware) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_(hardware)

    Fasteners used in automotive, engineering, and industrial applications usually need to be tightened to a specific torque setting, using a torque wrench. Nuts are graded with strength ratings compatible with their respective bolts; for example, an ISO property class 10 nut will be able to support the bolt proof strength load of an ISO property ...

    Drilled holes, and fasteners are commonly required to have a minimum edge distance (min ED). EO, ECO, ECN: engineering order: An order from the engineering department (to be followed by the production department or vendor) overriding/superseding a detail on the drawing, which gets superseded with revised information.
