Fasteners and types of Fasteners: Fasteners are commonly being manufacture for joining two objects together. These are widely used for creating temporary joints. These fasteners are widely joined using various joining methods such as crimping, welding, gluing, cementing, soldering, etc. sometimes, these can also be attached by using magnetic friction or force. There are 3 types of steel fasteners stainless steel, alloy steel, and carbon steel. Fasteners are further divided into two categories that are permanent and non-permanent. These non-permanent fasteners are designed differently, so the r ..read more
