Field Notes

As your on-demand engineering partner, our engineers can tackle A LOT of fastener questions – from common to complex, we’ll have the answers. In this post, we’ll look at a common fastener question: “What’s the difference between thread forming and thread cutting screws?” Understanding this distinction empowers you to optimize assembly efficiency, improve joint strength, and reduce total fastening ...

Selecting the correct finish for your fasteners is as crucial as choosing the metal itself. A finish can impact corrosion resistance, installation torque, performance, appearance, and longevity. Here’s an engineered breakdown of the most common finishes we source across our global supplier network, why they matter, and where they’re typically used.

Understanding the Cold Heading Process: Precision, Performance, and Efficiency

When it comes to manufacturing and assembly, fasteners are small components that play a big role. From the beams of a building to the bolts securing your car’s engine, fasteners hold together the products and structures we rely on every day. But not all fasteners are created equal—which is why fastening standards are so important.
