Fasteners metal

DNA molecules are the most frequently used building blocks for assemblies of various dimensions between nanometers and micrometers [1,2]. The negative charge in phosphate backbone of DNA molecules is favourable for fastening metal nanoparticles and, consequently, for creating multifunctional and multicomponent nanostructures. 

Like mechanically fastened metal structures, composites exhibit failure modes in tension, shear and bearing but, because of the complex failure mechanisms of composites, two further modes are possible, namely cleavage and puUout. Environmental degradation of a bolted joint, after exposure to hot, wet environment is most likely to occur in the shear and bearing strength properties. The evidence shows that for fiber reinforced epoxies, temperature has a more significant effect than moisture, but in the presence of both at 127°C, a strength loss of up to 40 percent is possible.

A convenient form of apparatus, particularly for large classes, is shown in Fig. 84 it is identical with that used for the determination of the equivalent weight of metals by hydrogen evolution.

Sound-Absorptive Blankets. Sound-absorptive blankets of fiber glass or mineral wool are not usually considered damping materials, but when fastened to sheet metal machine enclosures they can provide some useful damping in addition to sound absorption. 

Cadmium usage, illegal in most of Europe, is being discouraged elsewhere. The U.S. military has cadmium specifications for electronic, fastener, and marine equipment, which requires only cadmium. Tin is being substituted for tin—lead as a metallic etch resist during printed circuit board production. 

A very high, price and performance family of polymers called liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) exhibit extremely high mechanical and thermal properties. As their ease of processing and price improve, they may find appHcation in thin-waH, high strength parts such as nails, bolts, and fasteners where metal parts cannot be used for reasons of conductivity, electromagnetic characteristics, or corrosion. 

Ziac is plated oa pipe, coaduit, strip, sheet, and wire, as well as sheet metal stampiags, all sorts of hardware, and fasteners. Ziac plafiag is used oa electronic housings and cabinetry to reduce high frequency radiation interferences. 

Extmded engineering thermoplastic stock can be treated like other building material ia that it can be machined, cut, and fastened. However, none of the engineering plastics can be considered a one-for-one substitute for metals or wood. For example, impact resistance must be considered, and glues, paints, etc, must be screened for chemical aggressiveness and adhesion capabiUty. 

Fiber drums are also made with a removable fiber top and a fiber bottom that is either removable or permanently fastened to the body. This drrtm has limited reuse, brrt it costs less than the lever-locked metal-top type. Filling equipment consists most commonly of an operator-controlled spout connected to a supply bin resting on a platform scale. Table 21-26 shows the labor productivity of several systems. 

In a third process, a loose liner is fastened to a carbon steel shell by welds spaced so as to prevent collapse of the hner. A fourth method is weld overlay, which involves depositing multiple layers of alloy weld metal to cover the steel surface. 

Correct application of this principle can lead to what would appear to he peculiar recommendations. For example, if just one member of a couple is to be coated, it should be the noble member. Most coating systems leave holidays or tiny openings where the metal is exposed. If the active metal is coated, the area of exposure at the holidays can be quite small compared to the area of the noble metal, resulting in an unfavorable area ratio. On the other hand, if the noble metal is coated, the holidays provide a small cathodic area and hence a highly favorable area ratio with respect to the active metal. Similarly, if dissimilar metal fasteners must be used, they should be noble relative to the metals being fastened (see Case History 16.1). 

Note that zinc anodes are often used to protect steel and other relatively noble metals cathodically. In this case, the fasteners were acting as unintentional sacrificial anodes, protecting the stainless steel. Simple solutions to the problem would be to insulate the fasteners from the stainless steel electrically or to use stainless steel fasteners.

A note of caution about roof fasteners. A common mistake is to fix a galvanised or aluminium roof in place with nails or screws of a different metal copper or brass, for instance. The copper acts as cathode, and the zinc or aluminium corrodes away rapidly near to the fastening. A similar sort of goof has been known to occur when copper roofing sheet has been secured with steel nails. As Fig. 24.6 shows, this sort of situation leads to catastrophically rapid corrosion not only because the iron is anodic, but because it is so easy for the electrons generated by the anodic corrosion to get away to the large copper cathode. 

Metal parts are also joined by a range of fasteners rivets, bolts, or tabs. In using them, the stress concentration at the fastener or its hole must be allowed for fracture frequently starts at a fastening point. 

Where it is required to use metal or other inserts for fastening of upholstery elements or coverings. 

Repair. Repairs for damaged bonded structure can be either mechanical or adhesively bonded. Mechanical repairs are metallic doublers on one or both sides of a damaged component, held on by fasteners. The fasteners transfer the load through the doubler around the damaged site and restore part functionality. Although common for metal-to-metal bonded structure, mechanical repair of sandwich structure is rare because of the risk of further delamination. Unless the doubler and fasteners are perfectly sealed, water can travel into the honeycomb core eventually causing freeze-thaw damage and delamination. 

Fasteners made of dissimilar metal should be insulated completely from both metals of the joint (or at least the one that is least compatible with the metal of the fastener). 

Labor cost in a structure is directly related to part count. If part count can be reduced, then labor costs (and inventory costs) wili decrease. Composite structures are generally composed of many fewer parts than are metal structures. Integral part design and fabrication techniques reduce fastener count and bonding operations. Thus, composite structures can have cost elements that are considerably lower than those for metal structures.
