  3. Passivation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivation_(chemistry)

    In physical chemistry and engineering, passivation is coating a material so that it becomes "passive", that is, less readily affected or corroded by the environment. . Passivation involves creation of an outer layer of shield material that is applied as a microcoating, created by chemical reaction with the base material, or allowed to build by spontaneous oxidation

    Sheet metal screws make excellent fasteners for attaching metal hardware to wood because the fully threaded shank provides good retention in wood. Twinfast screw: A Twinfast screw is a type of screw with two threads (i.e. a twin-start screw), so that it can be driven twice as fast as a normal (i.e. single-start) screw with the same pitch. [4]

    This will force the machine shop to take into account the anodization thickness when performing the final machining of the mechanical part before anodization. Also in the case of small holes threaded to accept screws, anodizing may cause the screws to bind, thus the threaded holes may need to be chased with a tap to restore the original ...

  8. Bolt (fastener) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_(fastener)

    Where a fastener forms its own thread in the component being fastened, it is called a screw. [3] This is most obviously so when the thread is tapered (i.e. traditional wood screws), precluding the use of a nut, [3] or when a sheet metal screw or other thread-forming screw is used. A screw must always be turned to assemble the joint.
