  2. Threaded insert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threaded_insert

    TIME-SERT insert. A threaded insert, also known as a threaded bushing, is a fastener element that is inserted into an object to add a threaded hole. [1] They may be used to repair a stripped threaded hole, provide a durable threaded hole in a soft material, place a thread on a material too thin to accept it, mold or cast threads into a work piece thereby eliminating a machining operation, or ...

  3. Tap and die - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_and_die

    [2] [3] This feature enables a bottoming tap to cut threads to the bottom of a blind hole. A bottoming tap is usually used to cut threads in a hole that has already been partially threaded using one of the more tapered types of tap; the tapered end ("tap chamfer") of a bottoming tap is too short to successfully start into an unthreaded hole.

    The major minus pitch technique also works for inch-based threads, but you must first calculate the pitch by converting the fraction of threads-per-inch (TPI) into a decimal. For example, a screw with a pitch of 1/20 in (20 threads per inch) has a pitch of 0.050 in and a 1 ⁄ 13 in pitch (13 threads per inch) has a pitch of 0.077 in.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_drilling

    The basic steps in the friction drilling process: A.Applying pressure. B.Tool heats target and melts through it. C.Screw thread tapping. Friction drilling is a method of making holes in metal in which the material is pushed out of the way with the aid of heat from friction.

  7. Boss (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_(engineering)

    A boss may also refer to a mounting feature that will receive a screw or thread-forming screw. [3] In computer-aided design applications, a boss is a feature used to describe a type of extrusion. The word boss comes from the Middle French word embocer, which means protuberance.

  8. Washer (hardware) - Wikipedia

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

    Assorted washers: flat, split, star and insulating. A washer is a thin plate (typically disk-shaped, but sometimes square) with a hole (typically in the middle) that is normally used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or nut.

  9. Threading (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_(manufacturing)

    In manufacturing, threading is the process of creating a screw thread.More screw threads are produced each year than any other machine element. [1] There are many methods of generating threads, including subtractive methods (many kinds of thread cutting and grinding, as detailed below); deformative or transformative methods (rolling and forming; molding and casting); additive methods (such as ...
