  2. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    The applied torque causes the bolt to "climb" the thread causing a tensioning of the bolt and an equivalent compression in the components being fastened by the bolt. The preload developed in a bolt is due to the applied torque and is a function of the bolt diameter, the geometry of the threads, and the coefficients of friction that exist in the ...

  3. Aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

    Cast aluminium alloys yield cost-effective products due to the low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strengths than wrought alloys. The most important cast aluminium alloy system is Al–Si, where the high levels of silicon (4–13%) contribute to give good casting characteristics. Aluminium alloys are widely used in ...

  4. Torque-to-yield fastener - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque-to-yield_fastener

    The torque applied to the fastener must be determined such that it does not contribute to a service condition where the fastener enters a low-cycle fatigue regime. In general, the use of torque-to-yield fasteners is deprecated except in cases where the materials and structures comprising the entire assembly are certified to be within tolerances ...

  5. 1100 aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1100_aluminium_alloy

    1100 aluminium alloy is an aluminium-based alloy in the "commercially pure" wrought family (1000 or 1xxx series). With a minimum of 99.0% aluminium, it is the most heavily alloyed of the 1000 series.

  6. Aluminium–silicon alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–silicon_alloys

    Silicon powders are used in aluminum-silicon alloys for enhancing strength and castability, providing better durability under high-stress conditions. [4] It also improves the fluidity of molten aluminum which allows easier casting of complex shapes with fewer defects. [5] Small additions of titanium and boron serve to refine the grain. [6]

  7. Unified Thread Standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard

    The standard designation for a UTS thread is a number indicating the nominal (major) diameter of the thread, followed by the pitch measured in threads per inch.For diameters smaller than ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ inch, the diameter is indicated by an integer number defined in the standard; for all other diameters, the inch figure is given.

  8. Torque wrench - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_wrench

    A click torque wrench. A torque wrench is a tool used to apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut, bolt, or lag screw.It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with an indicating scale, or an internal mechanism which will indicate (as by 'clicking', a specific movement of the tool handle in relation to the tool head) when a specified (adjustable) torque value has been reached ...

  9. List of thread standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thread_standards

    A screw thread, often shortened to thread, is a helical structure used to convert between rotational and linear movement or force. A screw thread is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder or cone in the form of a helix, with the former being called a straight thread and the latter called a tapered thread.
