Mechanical fastening methods can
be divided into two major
classes:
1. That allow for disassembly
2. Those that create a permanent
joint

𝜎 = stress (MPa)
F = load (N)
A = tensile stress area (𝑚𝑚2 )

T = torque (N/mm)
Ct =the torque coefficient
D = nominal bolt or screw diameter (mm)
F = specified preload tension force (N) 8
Rivets and
Eyelets
 Rivet
s
A rivet in an unthreaded pin used Pop Rivets
to join two (or more) by passing
the pin through the holes in the
parts and then forming a second
head in the pin on the opposite
side.
Eyele Eyelets are thin-walled fasteners which used to

ts
produce a permanent joint between two (or
more) flat parts.

typical case is where
a pin of a certain diameter
is pressed into a hole of a
slightly smaller diameter.

Shrink Fit: Fits
The external part is heated, the
internal part is cooled.
Expansion Fit:

Fasteners
Inserts in Molding and
Casting
Involves the placement of a component
into a mold
Advantages: Low in cost
Disadvantages:
1. Design of the mold becomes more complicated
2. Takes a lot of time (reduce production rate)
3. The use of a foreign material makes it cannot be
easily recycled.
 Integral Fasteners
Involve deformation of component parts
so they interlock and create a
mechanically fastened joint.
