2. Washer (hardware) - Wikipedia

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

   A ring split at one point and bent into a helical shape. This causes the washer to exert a spring force between the fastener's head and the substrate, which maintains the washer hard against the substrate and the bolt thread hard against the nut or substrate thread, creating more friction and resistance to rotation.

3. Split pin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_pin

   A split pin, also known as a cotter pin, or cotter key in the US, [1] is a metal fastener with two tines that are bent during installation, similar to a staple or rivet. Typically made of thick wire with a half-circular cross section, split pins come in multiple sizes and types.

4. Retaining ring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retaining_ring

   These rings are manufactured by coiling flat wire into the shape of the finished retaining ring. Spiral rings are provided with a removal notch to simplify the removal process. Spiral retaining rings can be economically produced in special alloys like stainless steel because the manufacturing process eliminates scrap.

5. Dixon rings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixon_rings

   In 1943 Dr Olaf George Dixon of ICI applied for a patent of a new product for column distillation. [1] He used stainless steel mesh instead of sheet steel in the Lessing ring in order to improve the pressure drop of the packed column (in fact, they were called "wire gauze Lessing rings" in a 1949 publication [2]).

6. Nut (hardware) - Wikipedia

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

   Steel nuts are strong and great for construction, while stainless steel ones resist rust, perfect for outdoor use. Brass nuts, corrosion -resistant, find their place in electrical and plumbing work. Lock nuts, like nylon-insert or prevailing torque types, prevent loosening due to vibration or torque , catering to specific needs across industries.

7. Interference fit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_fit

   As an example, a 10 mm (0.394 in) shaft made of 303 stainless steel will form a tight fit with allowance of 3–10 μm (0.00012–0.00039 in). A slip fit can be formed when the bore diameter is 12–20 μm (0.00047–0.00079 in) wider than the rod; or, if the rod is made 12–20 μm under the given bore diameter.
