Fastener Design Manual
Richard T. Barrett
March 1990
The manual describes various platings that may be used for corrosion control including cadmium and zinc plating. It does not mention outgassing problems caused by the relatively high vapor pressure of these metals. The fastener manual was intended primarily for aeronautical applications, where outgassing is typically not a concern.

Summary
This manual was written for design engineers to enable them to choose appropriate fasteners for their designs. Subject matter includes fastener material selection, platings, lubricants, corrosion, locking methods, washers, inserts, thread types and classes, fatigue loading, and fastener torque. A section on design criteria covers the derivation of torque formulas, loads on a fastener group, combining simultaneous shear and tension loads, pullout load for tapped holes, grip length, head styles, and fastener strengths. The second half of this manual presents general guidelines and selection criteria for rivets and lockbolts.
Introduction
To the casual observer the selection of bolts, nuts, and rivets for a design should be a simple task. In reality it is a difficult task, requiring careful consideration of temperature, corrosion, vibration, fatigue, initial preload, and many other factors. The intent of this manual is to present enough data on bolt and rivet materials, finishes, torques, and thread lubricants to enable a designer to make a sensible selection for a particular design. Locknuts, washers, locking methods, inserts, rivets, and tapped holes are also covered.
General Design Information
Fastener Materials
Bolts can be made from many materials, but most bolts are made of carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel. Stainless steels include both iron- and nickel-based chromium alloys. Titanium and aluminum bolts have limited usage, primarily in the aerospace industry. Carbon steel is the cheapest and most common bolt material. Most hardware stores sell carbon steel bolts, which are usually zinc plated to resist corrosion. The typical ultimate strength of this bolt material is 55 ksi. An alloy steel is a high-strength carbon steel that can be heat treated up to 300 ksi. However, it is not corrosion resistant and must therefore have some type of coating to protect it from corrosion. Aerospace alloy steel fasteners are usually cadmium plated for corrosion protection. Bolts of stainless steel (CRES) are available in a variety of alloys with ultimate strengths from 70 to 220 ksi. The major advantage of using CRES is that it normally requires no protective coating and has a wider service temperature range than plain carbon or alloy steels. A partial listing of bolt materials is given in table I. The following precautions are to be noted:
- The bolt plating material is usually the limiting factor on maximum service temperature.
- Carbon steel and alloy steel are unsatisfactory (become brittle) at temperatures below -65 °F.
- Hydrogen embrittlement is a problem with most common methods of plating, unless special procedures are used. (This subject is covered more fully in the corrosion section.)
- Series 400 CRES contains only 12 percent chromium and thus will corrode in some environments.
- The contact of dissimilar materials can create galvanic corrosion, which can become a major problem. (Galvanic corrosion is covered in a subsequent section of this manual.)
Platings and Coatings
Most plating processes are electrolytic and generate hydrogen. Thus, most plating processes require baking after plating at a temperature well below the decomposition temperature of the plating material to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. However, heating the plating to its decomposition temperature can generate free hydrogen again. Thus, exceeding the safe operating temperature of the plating can cause premature fastener failure due to hydrogen embrittlement as well as loss of corrosion protection. (A summary of platings and coatings is given in table II.)
Cadmium Plating
The most common aerospace fastener plating material is cadmium. Plating is done by electrodeposition and is easy to accomplish. However, cadmium-plated parts must be baked at 375 °F for 23 hours, within 2 hours after plating, to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Since cadmium melts at 600 °F, its useful service temperature limit is 450 °F.
TABLE I.—SUMMARY OF FASTENER MATERIALS
| Material | Surface treatment | Useful design temperature limit, °F | Ultimate tensile strength at room temperature, ksi | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon steel | Zinc plate | -65 to 250 | 55 and up | — |
| Alloy steels | Cadmium plate, nickel plate, zinc plate, or chromium plate | -65 to limiting temperature of plating | Up to 300 | Some can be used at 900 °F |

| Waspalloy stainless | None | -423 to 1600 | 150 | — |
| Titanium | None | -350 to 500 | Up to 160 | — |
Zinc Plating
Zinc is also a common type of plating. The hot-dip method of zinc plating is known commercially as galvanizing. Zinc can also be electrodeposited. Because zinc plating has a dull finish, it is less pleasing in appearance than cadmium. However, zinc is a sacrificial material. It will migrate to uncoated areas that have had their plating scratched off, thus continuing to provide corrosion resistance. Zinc may also be applied cold as a zinc-rich paint. Zinc melts at 785 °F but has a useful service temperature limit of 250 °F. (Its corrosion-inhibiting qualities degrade above 140 °F.)
Phosphate Coatings
Steel or iron is phosphate coated by treating the material surface with a diluted solution of phosphoric acid, usually by submerging the part in a proprietary bath. The chemical reaction forms a mildly protective layer of crystalline phosphate. The three principal types of phosphate coatings are zinc, iron, and manganese. Phosphate-coated parts can be readily painted, or they can be dipped in oil or wax to improve their corrosion resistance. Fasteners are usually phosphated with either zinc or manganese. Hydrogen embrittlement seldom is present in phosphated parts. Phosphate coatings start deteriorating at 225 °F (for heavy zinc) to 400 °F (for iron phosphate).
Nickel Plating
Nickel plating, with or without a copper strike (thin plating), is one of the oldest methods of preventing corrosion and improving the appearance of steel and brass. Nickel plating will tarnish unless it is followed by chromium plating. Nickel plating is a more expensive process than cadmium or zinc plating and also must be baked the same as cadmium after plating to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Nickel plating is good to an operating temperature of 1100 °F, but is still not frequently used for plating fasteners because of its cost.
TABLE II.—SUMMARY OF PLATINGS AND COATINGS

|---|---|---|
| Cadmium | 450 | Most common for aerospace fasteners |
| Zinc | 140 to 250 | Self-healing and cheaper than cadmium |

Ion-Vapor-Deposited Aluminum Plating
Ion-vapor-deposited aluminum plating was developed by McDonnell-Douglas for coating aircraft parts. It has some advantages over cadmium plating:
- It creates no hydrogen embrittlement.
- It insulates against galvanic corrosion of dissimilar materials.
- The coating is acceptable up to 925 °F.
- It can also be used for coating titanium and aluminums.
- No toxic byproducts·are formed by the process. It also has some disadvantages:
- Because the process must be done in a specially designed vacuum chamber, it is quite expensive.
- Cadmium will outperform ion-vapor-deposited aluminum in a salt-spray test.
Chromium Plating
Chromium plating is commonly used for automotive and appliance decorative applications, but it is not common for fasteners. Chromium-plated fasteners cost approximately as much as stainless steel fasteners. Good chromium plating requires both copper and nickel plating prior to chromium plating. Chromium plating also has hydrogen embrittlement problems. However, it is acceptable for maximum operating temperatures of 800 to 1200 °F.
Sermatel W and SermaGard
Sermatel W and SermaGard are proprietary coatings 1 consisting of aluminum particles in an inorganic binder with chromates added to inhibit corrosion. The coating material is covered by AMS3126A, and the procedure for applying it by AMS2506. The coating is sprayed or dipped on the part and cured at 650 °F. (sps Technologies2 has tested Sermatel W-coated fasteners at 900 °F without degradation.) This coating process prevents both hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion, since the fastener is completely coated. Sermatel is about as effective as cadmium plating in resisting corrosion but costs about 15 percent more than cadmium. Fasteners are not presently available "off the shelf' with Sermatel W or SermaGard coating, but the company will do small orders for fasteners or mechanical parts. These coatings will take up to 15 disassemblies in a threaded area without serious coating degradation.
Stalgard
Stalgard is a proprietary coating3 process consisting of organic coatings, inorganic-organic coatings, or both for corrosion resistance. According to Stalgard test data their coatings are superior to either cadmium or zinc plating in salt-spray and weathering tests. Stalgard coatings also provide galvanic corrosion protection. However, the maximum operating temperature of these organic coatings is 475 °F.
Diffused Nickel-Cadmium Plating
This process was developed by the aerospace companies for a higher temperature cadmium coating. A 0.0004-in.-thick nickel coating is plated on the substrate, followed by a 0.0002-in.-thick. cadmium plate (per AMS2416). The part is then baked for 1 hour at 645 °F. The resulting coating can withstand 1000 °F. However, the nickel plate must completely cover the part at all times to avoid cadmium damage to the part. This process is expensive and requires close control.

Silver Plating
Silver plating is cost prohibitive for most fastener applications. The big exception is in the aerospace industry, where silver-plated nuts are used on stainless steel bolts. The silver serves both as a corrosion deterrent and a dry lubricant. Silver plating can be used to 1600 °F, and thus it is a good high-temperature lubricant. Since silver tarnishes from normal atmospheric exposure, the silver-plated nuts are commonly coated with clear wax to prevent tarnishing. Wax is a good room-temperature lubricant. Therefore, the normal ''dry torque'' values of the torque tables should be reduced by 50 percent to allow for this lubricant.
Passivation and Preoxidation
Stainless steel fasteners will create galvanic corrosion or oxidation in a joint unless they are passivated or preoxidized prior to assembly (ref. 1). Passivation is the formation of a protective oxide coating on the steel by treating it briefly with an acid. The oxide coating is almost inert. Preoxidization is the formation of an oxide coating by exposing the fasteners to approximately 1300 °F temperature in an air furnace. The surface formed is inert enough to prevent galling due to galvanic corrosion.
Black Oxide Coating
Black oxide coating, combined with an oil film, does little more than enhance the appearance of carbon steel fasteners. The oil film is the only part of the coating that prevents corrosion.
Thread Lubricants
Although there are many thread lubricants from which to choose, only a few common ones are covered here. The most common are oil, grease or wax, graphite, and molybdenum disulfide. There are also several proprietary lubricants such as Never-Seez and Synergistic Coatings. Some thread-loclcing compounds such as Loctite can also be used as lubricants for a bolted assembly, particularly the compounds that allow the bolts to be removed. A summary of thread lubricants is given in table III.
Oil and Grease
Although oil and grease are the most common types of thread lubricants, they are limited to an operating temperature not much greater than 250 °F. (Above this temperature the oil or grease will melt or boil off.) In addition, oil cannot be used in a vacuum environment. However, oil and grease are good for both lubrication and corrosion prevention as long as these precautions are observed.
TABLE III.—SUMMARY OF THREAD LUBRICANTS
| Type of lubricant | Useful design temperature limit, °F | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Oil or grease | 250 | Most common; cannot be used in vacuum |
| Graphite | 250a | Cannot be used in vacuum |
| Molybdenum disulfide | 750 | Can be used in vacuum |
| Synergistic Coatings | 500 | Can be used in vacuum |
| Neverseez | 2200 | Because oil boils off, must be applied after each high-temperature application |
| Silver Goop | 1500 | Do not use on aluminum or magnesium parts; extremely expensive |
| Thread-locking compounds | 275 | “Removable fastener” compounds only |
a Carrier boiloff temperature.
Graphite
"Dry" graphite is really not dry. It is fine carbon powder that needs moisture (usually oil or water) to become a lubricant. Therefore, its maximum operating temperature is limited to the boiling point of the oil or water. It also cannot be used in a vacuum environment without losing its moisture. Because dry graphite is an abrasive, its use is detrimental to the bolted joint if the preceding limitations are exceeded.
Molybdenum Disulfide
Molybdenum disulfide is one of the most popular dry lubricants. It can be used in a vacuum environment but turns to molybdenum trisulfide at approximately 750 °F. Molybdenum trisulfide is an abrasive rather than a lubricant.
Synergistic Coatings
These proprietary coatings4 are a type of fluorocarbon injected and baked into a porous metal-matrix coating to give both corrosion prevention and lubrication. However, the maximum operating temperature given in their sales literature is 500 °F. Synergistic Coatings will also operate in a vacuum environment.
Neverseez
This proprietary compound5 is a petroleum-base lubricant and anticorrodent that is satisfactory as a one-time lubricant up to 2200 °F, according to the manufacturer. The oil boils off, but the compound leaves nongalling oxides of nickel, copper, and zinc between the threads. This allows the fastener to be removed, but a new application is required each time the fastener is installed. NASA Lewis personnel tested this compound and found it to be satisfactory.
Silver Goop
Silver Goop is a proprietary compound6 containing 20 to 30 percent silver. Silver Goop can be used to 1500 °F, but it is not to be used on aluminum or magnesium. It is extremely expensive because of its silver content.
Thread-Locking Compounds
Some of the removable thread-locking compounds (such as Loctite) also serve as antigalling and lubricating substances. However, they are epoxies, which have a maximum operating temperature of approximately 275 °F.

Corrosion
Galvanic Corrosion
Galvanic corrosion is set up when two dissimilar metals are in the presence of an electrolyte, such as moisture. A galvanic cell is created and the most active (anode) of the two materials is eroded and deposited on the least active (cathode). Note that the farther apart two materials are in the following list, the greater the galvanic action between them.
According to reference 2 the galvanic ranking of some common engineering materials is as follows:
- Magnesium (most active)
- Magnesium alloys
- Zinc
- Aluminum 5056
- Aluminum 5052
- Aluminum 1100
- Cadmium
- Aluminum 2024
- Aluminum 7075
- Mild steel
- Cast iron
- Ni-Resist
- Type 410 stainless (active)
- Type 304 stainless (active)
- Type 316 stainless (active)
- Lead
- Tin
- Muntz Metal
- Nickel (active)
- Inconel (active)
- Yellow brass
- Admiralty brass
- Aluminum brass
- Red brass
- Copper
- Silicon bronze
- 70-30 Copper-nickel
- Nickel (passive)
- Inconel (passive)
- Titanium
- Monel
- Type 304 stainless (passive)
- Type 316 stainless (passive)
- Silver
- Graphite
- Gold (least active)
Note the difference between active and passive 304 and 316 stainless steels. The difference here is that passivation of stainless steels is done either by oxidizing in an air furnace or treating the surface with an acid to cause an oxide to form. This oxide surface is quite inert in both cases and deters galvanic activity.
Because the anode is eroded in a galvanic cell, it should be the larger mass in the cell. Therefore, it is poor design practice to use carbon steel fasteners in a stainless steel or copper assembly. Stainless steel fasteners can be used in carbon steel assemblies, since the carbon steel mass is the anode.
Magnesium is frequently used in lightweight designs because of its high strength to weight ratio. However, it must be totally insulated from fasteners by an inert coating such as zinc chromate primer to prevent extreme galvanic corrosion. Cadmium- or zinc-plated fasteners are closest to magnesium in the galvanic series and would be the most compatible if the insulation coating were damaged.
Stress Corrosion
Stress corrosion occurs when a tensile-stressed part is placed in a corrosive environment. An otherwise ductile part will fail at a stress much lower than its yield strength because of surface imperfections (usually pits or cracks) created by the corrosive environment. In general, the higher the heat-treating temper-ature of the material (and the lower the ductility), the more susceptible it is to stress corrosion cracking.
The fastener material manufacturers have been forced to develop alloys that are less sensitive to stress corrosion. Of the stainless steels, A286 is the best fastener material for aerospace usage. It is not susceptible to stress corrosion but usually is produced only up to 160-ksi strength (220-ksi A286 fasteners are available on special order). The higher strength stainless steel fasteners (180 to 220 ksi) are usually made of 17-7PH or 17-4PH, which are stress corrosion susceptible. Fasteners made of superalloys such as Inconel 718 or MP35N are available if cost and schedule are not restricted.
An alternative is to use a high-strength carbon steel (such as H-11 tool steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 300 ksi) and provide corrosion protection. However, it is preferable to use more fasteners of the ordinary variety and strength, if possible, than to use a few high-strength fasteners. High-strength fasteners (greater than 180 ksi) bring on problems such as brittleness, critical flaws, forged heads, cold rolling of threads, and the necessity for stringent quality control procedures. Quality control procedures such as x-ray, dye penetrant, magnetic particle, thread radius, and head radius inspections are commonly used for high-strength fasteners.
Hydrogen Embrittlement
Hydrogen embrittlement occurs whenever there is free hydrogen in close association with the metal. Since most plating processes are the electrolytic bath type, free hydrogen is present. There are three types of hydrogen-metal problems:
- Hydrogen chemical reaction: Hydrogen reacts with the carbon in steel to form methane gas, which can lead to crack development and strength reduction. Hydrogen can also react with alloying elements such as titanium, niobium, or tantalum to form hydrides. Because the hydrides are not as strong as the parent alloy, they reduce the overall strength of the part.
- Internal hydrogen embrittlement: Hydrogen can remain in solution interstitially (between lattices in the grain structure) and can cause delayed failures after proof testing. There is no external indication that the hydrogen is present.
- Hydrogen environment embrittlement: This problem is only present in a high-pressure hydrogen environment such as a hydrogen storage tank. Unless a fastener was under stress inside such a pressure vessel, this condition would not be present.
Most plating specifications now state that a plated carbon steel fastener "shall be baked for not less than 23 hours at 375 ± 25 °F within 2 hours after plating to provide hydrogen embrittlement relief" (per MIL-N-25027D). In the past the plating specifications required baking at 375 ± 25 °F for only 3 hours within 4 hours after plating. This treatment was found to be inadequate, and most plating specifications were revised in 1981-82 to reflect the longer baking time. Hydrogen embrittlement problems also increase as the fastener strength increases.
Cadmium Embrittlement
Although hydrogen embrittlement failure of materials is well documented (ref. 3), the effects of cadmium embrittlement are not. In general, hydrogen embrittlement failure of cadmium-plated parts can start as low as 325 °F, but cadmium embrittlement can start around 400 °F. Since both elements are normally present in elevated-temperature failure of cadmium-plated parts, the combined effect of the two can be disastrous. However, the individual effect of each is indeterminate.
Locking Methods
Tapped Holes
In a tapped hole the locking technique is normally on the fastener. One notable exception is the Spiralock7 tap shown in figure 1. The Spiralock thread form has a 30° wedge ramp at its root. Under clamp load the crests of the male threads are wedged tightly against the ramp. This makes lateral movement, which causes loosening under vibration, nearly impossible. Independent tests by some of the aerospace companies have indicated that this type of thread is satisfactory for moderate resistance to vibration. The bolt can have a standard thread, since the tapped hole does all the locking.

Locknuts
There are various types of locking elements, with the common principle being to bind (or wedge) the nut thread to the bolt threads. Some of the more common locknuts are covered here.
Split beam.—The split-beam locknut (fig. 2) has slots in the top, and the thread diameter is undersized in the slotted portion. The nut spins freely until the bolt threads get to the slotted area. The split “beam” segments are deflected outward by the bolt, and a friction load results from binding of the mating threads.

Figure 2.—Split-beam locknut.
Deformed thread.—The deformed-thread locknut (fig. 3) is a common locknut, particularly in the aerospace industry. Its advantages are as follows:
- The nut can be formed in one operation.
- The temperature range is limited only by the parent metal, its plating, or both.
- The nut can be reused approximately 10 times before it has to be discarded for loss of locking capability.

(b) Assembled.
(c) After withdrawal.
Figure 3.—Deformed-thread locknut.
Nylok pellet. —The Nylok8 pellet (of nylon) is usually installed in the nut threads as shown in figure 4. A pellet or patch projects from the threads. When mating threads engage, compression creates a counterforce that results in locking contact. The main drawback of this pellet is that its maximum operating temperature is approximately 250 °F. The nylon pellet will also be damaged quickly by reassembly.

Figure 4.—Nylok pellet locknut.
8 Nylok Fastener Corporation, Rochester, Michigan.
Locking collar and seal. —A fiber or nylon washer is mounted in the top of the nut as shown in figure 5. The collar has an interference fit such that it binds on the bolt threads. It also provides some sealing action from gas and moisture leakage. Once again the limiting feature of this nut is the approximate 250 °F temperature limit of the locking collar. A cost-saving method sometimes used instead of a collar or nylon pellet is to bond a nylon patch on the threads of either the nut or the bolt to get some locking action. This method is also used on short thread lengths, where a drilled hole for a locking pellet could cause severe stress concentration.

Figure 5.—Locking collar.
Castellated nut. —The castellated nut normally has six slots as shown in figure 6(a). The bolt has a single hole through its threaded end. The nut is torqued to its desired torque value. It is then rotated forward or backward (depending on the user’s preference) to the nearest slot that aligns with the drilled hole in the bolt. A cotter pin is then installed to lock the nut in place as shown in figure 6(b). This nut works extremely well for low-torque applications such as holding a wheel bearing in place.

(a) Slots.
(b) Cotter pin locking.
Figure 6.—Castellated nut.
Jam nuts. —These nuts are normally “jammed” together as shown in figure 7, although the “experts” cannot agree on which nut should be on the bottom. However, this type of assembly is too unpredictable to be reliable. If the inner nut is torqued tighter than the outer nut, the inner nut will yield before the outer nut can pick up its full load. On the other hand, if the outer nut is tightened more than the inner nut, the inner nut unloads. Then the outer nut will yield before the inner nut can pick up its full load. It would be rare to get the correct amount of torque on each nut. A locknut is a much more practical choice than a regular nut and a jam nut. However, a jam nut can be used on a turnbuckle, where it does not carry any of the tension load.

Figure 7.—Jam Nut.
Serrated-face nut (or bolthead). —The serrated face of this nut (shown in fig. 8) digs into the bearing surface during final tightening. This means that it cannot be used with a washer or on surfaces where scratches or corrosion could be a problem.
According to SPS Technologies, their serrated-face bolts (Durlock 180) require 110 percent of tightening torque to loosen them. Their tests on these bolts have shown them to have excellent vibration resistance.

Figure 8.-Durlock nut.
Lockwiring. —Although lockwiring is a laborious method of preventing bolt or nut rotation, it is still used in critical applications, particularly in the aerospace field. The nuts usually have drilled corners, and the bolts either have throughholes in the head or drilled corners to thread the lockwire through. A typical bolthead lockwiring assembly is shown in figure 9(a), and a typical nut lockwiring assembly is shown in figure 9(b).

(a) Multiple fastener application (double-twist method, single hole)

(b) Castellated nuts on undrilled studs (double twist method)
Figure 9b.-Typical Nut Lockwiring
Direct interfering thread. —A direct interfering thread has an oversized root diameter that gives a slight interference fit between the mating threads. It is commonly used on threaded studs for semipermanent installations, rather than on bolts and nuts, since the interference fit does damage the threads.
Tapered thread. —The tapered thread is a variation of the direct interfering thread, but the difference is that the minor diameter is tapered to interfere on the last three or four threads of a nut or bolt as shown in figure 10.

Figure 10.-Tapered Thread.
Nutplates. —A nutplate (fig. 11) is normally used as a blind nut. They can be fixed or floating. In addition, they can have most of the locking and sealing features of a regular nut. Nutplates are usually used on materials too thin to tap. They are used primarily by the aerospace companies, since their installation is expensive. At least three drilled holes and two rivets are required for each nutplate installation.

(a) Fixed. (b) Floating.
Figure 11.-Nutplate.
Locking Adhesives
Many manufacturers make locking adhesives (or epoxies) for locking threads. Most major manufacturers make several grades of locking adhesive, so that the frequency of disassembly can be matched to the locking capability of the adhesive. For example, Loctite 242 is for removable fasteners, and Loctite 2719 is for tamperproof fasteners. Other manufacturers such as Bostik, ND Industries, Nylock, 3M, and Permaloc make similar products.
Most of these adhesives work in one of two ways. They are either a single mixture that hardens when it becomes a thin layer in the absence of air or an epoxy in two layers that does not harden until it is mixed and compressed between the mating threads. Note that the two-layer adhesives are usually put on the fastener as a “ribbon” or ring by the manufacturer. These ribbons or rings do have some shelf life, as long as they are not inadvertently mixed or damaged.
These adhesives are usually effective as thread sealers as well. However, none of them will take high temperatures. The best adhesives will function at 450 °F; the worst ones will function at only 200 °F.

Washers
Belleville Washers Belleville washers (fig. 12) are conical washers used more for maintaining a uniform tension load on a bolt than for locking. If they are not completely flattened out, they serve as a spring in the bolt joint. However, unless they have serrations on their surfaces, they have no significant locking capability. Of course, the serrations will damage the mating surfaces under them. These washers can be stacked in combinations as shown in figure 13 to either increase the total spring length (figs. 13(a) and (c)) or increase the spring constant (fig. 13(b)).

Lockwashers
Lockwashers The typical helical spring washer shown in figure 14 is made of slightly trapezoidal wire formed into a helix of one coil so that the free height is approximately twice the thickness of the washer cross section. They are usually made of hardened carbon steel, but they are also available in aluminum, silicon, bronze, phosphor-bronze, stainless steel, and K-Monel.
The lockwasher serves as a spring while the bolt is being tightened. However, the washer is normally flat by the time the bolt is fully torqued. At this time it is equivalent to a solid flat washer, and its locking ability is nonexistent. In summary, a lockwasher of this type is useless for locking.

Figure 14.-Helical spring washers.
Tooth (or Star) Lockwashers
Tooth lockwashers (fig. 15) are used with screws and nuts for some spring action but mostly for locking action. The teeth are formed in a twisted configuration with sharp edges. One edge bites into the bolthead (or nut) while the other edge bites into the mating surface. Although this washer does provide some locking action, it damages the mating surfaces. These scratches can cause crack formation in highly stressed fasteners, in mating parts, or both, as well as increased corrosion susceptibility.

(a) Flat. (b) Countersunk.
Figure 15.-Tooth lockwashers.
Self-Aligning Washers
A self-aligning washer is used with a mating nut that has conical faces as shown in figure 16. Because there is both a weight penalty and a severe cost penalty for using this nut, it should be used only as a last resort. Maintaining parallel mating surfaces within acceptable limits (2° per SAE Handbook (ref. 4)) is normally the better alternative.

Figure 16.-Self-aligning nut.
Inserts
An insert is a special type of device that is threaded on its inside diameter and locked with threads or protrusions on its outside diameter in a drilled, molded, or tapped hole. It is used to provide a strong, wear-resistant tapped hole in a soft material such as plastic and nonferrous materials, as well as to repair stripped threads in a tapped hole.
The aerospace industry uses inserts in tapped holes in soft materials in order to utilize small high-strength fasteners to save weight. The bigger external thread of the insert (nominally 1/8 in. bigger in diameter than the internal thread) gives, for example, a 10-32 bolt in an equivalent 5/16-18 nut.
In general, there are two types of inserts: those that are threaded externally, and those that are locked by some method other than threads (knurls, serrations, grooves, or interference fit). Within the threaded inserts there are three types: the wire thread, the self-tapping, and the solid bushing.
Threaded Inserts
Wire thread.-The wire thread type of insert (Heli-coil10) is a precision coil of diamond-shaped CRES wire that forms both external and internal threads as shown in figure 17. The coil is made slightly oversize so that it will have an interference fit in the tapped hole. In addition, this insert is available with a deformed coil (fig. 18) for additional locking. The tang is broken off at the notch after installation.
The wire thread insert is the most popular type for repair of a tapped hole with stripped threads, since it requires the least amount of hole enlargement. However, the solid bushing insert is preferred if space permits.

Self-tapping.-Most of the self-tapping inserts are the solid bushing type made with a tapered external thread similar to a self-tapping screw (fig. 19). There are several different locking combinations, such as the Nylok plug (fig. 19(b)) or the thread-forming Speedsert11 deformed thread (fig. 20). An additional advantage of the thread-forming insert is that it generates no cutting chips, since it does not cut the threads. However, it can only be used in softer materials.

Solid bushing. -Solid bushing inserts have conventional threads both internally and externally. A popular type is the Keensert11 shown in figure 21. The locking keys are driven in after the insert is in place. Another manufacturer uses a two-prong ring for locking. These inserts are also available with distorted external thread or Nylok plugs for locking.

Figure 21.-Keensert.
Nonthreaded Inserts
Plastic expandable. -The most familiar of the nonthreaded inserts is the plastic expandable type shown in figure 22. This insert has barbs on the outside and longitudinal slits that allow it to expand outward as the threaded fastener is installed, pushing the barbs into the wall of the drilled hole. (See ref. 5.)

Figure 22.-Plastic expandable insert.
Molded in place. -This type of insert (fig. 23) is knurled or serrated to resist both pullout and rotation. It is commonly used with ceramics, rubber, and plastics, since it can develop higher resistance to both pullout and rotation in these materials than self-tapping or conventionally threaded inserts. (See ref. 5.)

Figure 23.-Molded-in-place insert.
Ultrasonic. -Ultrasonic inserts (fig. 24) have grooves in various directions to give them locking strength. They are installed in a prepared hole by pushing them in while they are being ultrasonically vibrated. The ultrasonic vibration melts the wall of the hole locally so that the insert grooves are "welded" in place. Since the area melted is small, these inserts do not have the holding power of those that are molded in place. Ultrasonic inserts are limited to use in thermoplastics. (See ref. 5.)

Threads
Types of Threads
Since complete information on most threads can be found in the ANSI standards (ref. 6), the SAE Handbook (ref. 4), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards) Handbook H-28 (ref. 7) no thread standards will be included in this handbook. The goal here is to explain the common thread types, along with their advantages and disadvantages. The common thread types are unified national coarse (UNC), unified national fine (UNF), unified national extra fine (UNEF), UNJC, UNJF, UNR, UNK, and constant-pitch threads.
Unified national coarse. -UNC is the most commonly used thread on general-purpose fasteners. Coarse threads are deeper than fine threads and are easier to assemble without cross threading. The manufacturing tolerances can be larger than for finer threads, allowing for higher plating tolerances. UNC threads are normally easier to remove when corroded, owing to their sloppy fit. However, a UNC fastener can be procured with a class 3 (tighter) fit if needed (classes to be covered later).
Unified national fine. -UNF thread has a larger minor diameter than UNC thread, which gives UNF fasteners slightly higher load-carrying and better torque-locking capabilities than UNC fasteners of the same identical material and outside diameter. The fine threads have tighter manufacturing tolerances than UNC threads, and the smaller lead angle allows for finer tension adjustment. UNF threads are the most widely used threads in the aerospace industry.
Unified national extra fine. -UNEF is a still finer type of thread than UNF and is common to the aerospace field. This thread is particularly advantageous for tapped holes in hard materials and for thin threaded walls, as well as for tapped holes in thin materials.
UNJC and UNJF threads. -"J" threads are made in both external and internal forms. The external thread has a much larger root radius than the corresponding UNC, UNR, UNK, or UNF threads. This radius is mandatory and its inspection is required, whereas no root radius is required on uNc, UNF, or UNEF threads. Since the larger root radius increases the minor diameter, a UNJF or UNJC fastener has a larger net tensile area than a corresponding UNF or UNC fastener. This root radius also gives a smaller stress concentration factor in the threaded section. Therefore, high-strength (≥ 180 ksi) bolts usually have "J" threads.
UNR threads. -The UNR external thread is a rolled UN thread in all respects except that the root radius must be rounded. However, the root radius and the minor diameter are not checked or toleranced. There is no internal UNR thread.
UNK threads. -The UNK external threads are similar to UNR threads, except that the root radius and the minor diameter are toleranced and inspected. There is no internal UNK thread. According to a survey of manufacturers conducted by the Industrial Fasteners Institute, nearly all manufacturers of externally threaded fasteners make UNR rolled threads rather than plain UN. The only exception is for ground or cut threads.
Constant-pitch threads. -These threads offer a selection of pitches that can be matched with various diameters to fit a particular design. This is a common practice for bolts of 1-in. diameter and above, with the pitches of 8, 12, or 16 threads per inch being the most common.
A graphical and tabular explanation of UN, UNR, UNK, and UNJ threads is given on page M-6 of reference 8. A copy (fig. 25) is enclosed here for reference.

Figure 25.-Explanation of UN, UNR, UNK, and UNJ threads. (From ref. 8) Reprinted with permission of Industrial Fasteners Institute.
Classes of Threads
Thread classes are distinguished from each other by the amounts of tolerance and allowance. The designations run from IA to 3A and 1B to 3B for external and internal threads, respectively. A class 1 is a looser fitting, general-purpose thread; a class 3 is the closer-toleranced aerospace standard thread. (The individual tolerances and sizes for the various classes are given in the SAE Handbook (ref 4).)
Forming of Threads
Threads may be cut, hot rolled, or cold rolled. The most common manufacturing method is to cold form both the head and the threads for bolts up to 1 in. in diameter. For bolts above 1-in. diameter and high-strength smaller bolts, the heads are hot forged. The threads are still cold rolled until the bolt size prohibits the material displacement necessary to form the threads (up to a constant pitch of eight threads per inch). Threads are cut only at assembly with taps and dies or by lathe cutting.
Cold rolling has the additional advantage of increasing the strength of the bolt threads through the high compressive surface stresses, similar to the effects of shot peening. This process makes the threads more resistant to fatigue cracking.
Fatigue-Resistant Bolts
If a bolt is cycled in tension, it will normally break near the end of the threaded portion because this is the area of maximum stress concentration. In order to lessen the stress concentration factor, the bolt shank can be machined down to the root diameter of the threads. Then it will survive tensile cyclic loading much longer than a standard bolt with the shank diameter equal to the thread outside diameter.
Fatigue (Cyclic) Loading of Bolts
The bolted joint in figure 26 (from ref. 9) is preloaded with an initial load F;, which equals the clamping load Fe, before the external load F, is applied. The equation (from ref. 11) for this assembly is

where Fb is the total bolt load. In this equation Kb is the spring constant of the bolt and Kc is the spring constant of the clamped faces. To see the effects of the relative spring constants, let R = KJ Kb. Then (from ref. 10)

In a normal clamped joint Kc is much larger than Kb (R ""' 5.0 for steel bolt and flanges), so that the bolt load does not increase much as the initial external load F, is applied. (Note that the bolt load does not increase significantly until F, exceeds F;.)
In order to further clarify the effect of externally applied loads, a series of triangular diagrams (fig. 27, from ref. 11) can be used to illustrate loading conditions.
Triangle OAB is identical in all four diagrams. The slope of OA represents the bolt stiffness; the slope of AB represents the joint stiffness Goint is stiffer than bolt by ratio OC/CB.) In figure 27(a) the externally applied load F, (a) does not load the bolt to its yield point. In figure 27(b) the bolt is loaded by F, (b) to its yield point, with the corresponding decrease in clamping load to Fer• In figure 27(c) external load F,(c) has caused the bolt to take a permanent elongation such that the clamping force will be less than F; when F, (c) is removed. In figure 27(d) the joint has completely separated on its way to bolt failure.
Note that the flatter the slope of OA (or the larger the ratio OC/OB becomes), the smaller the effect F, has on bolt load. Therefore, using more smaller-diameter fasteners rather than a few large-diameter fasteners will give a more fatigue-resistant joint. Referring to figure 27(a), note that the cyclic (alternating) load is that portion above F;. This is the alternating load (stress) to be used on a stress-versus-load-cycles diagram of the bolt material to predict the fatigue life of the bolts. Note that an initial preload F; near the bolt yields minimizes cyclic loading.

Figure 27.-Bolt external loading
Thermal Cyclic Loading of Bolts
If the bolt and joint are of different materials, an operating temperature higher or lower than the installation temperature can cause problems. Differential contraction can cause the joint to unload (or separate); differential expansion can cause overloading of the fasteners. In these cases it is common practice to use conical washers (see washer section of this manual) to give additional adjustments in fastener and joint loading.
Fastener Torque
Determining the proper torque for a fastener is the biggest problem in fastener installation. Some of the many variables causing problems are
- The coefficient of friction between mating threads
- The coefficient of friction between the bolthead (or nut) and its mating surface
- The effect of bolt coatings and lubricants on the friction coefficients
- The percentage of bolt tensile strength to be used for preload
- Once agreement is reached on item 4, how to accurately determine this value
- Relative spring rates of the structure and the bolts
- Interaction formulas to be used for combining simultaneous shear and tension loads on a bolt (Should friction loads due to bolt clamping action be included in the interaction calculations?)
- Whether "running torque" for a locking device should be added to the normal torque

Development of Torque Tables
The coefficient of friction can vary from 0.04 to 1.10, depending on the materials and the lubricants being used between mating materials. (Table IV from ref. 12 gives a variety of friction coefficients.) Since calculated torque values are a function of the friction coefficients between mating threads and between the bolthead or nut and its mating surface, it is vitally important that the torque table values used are adjusted to reflect any differences in friction coefficients between those used to calculate the table and the user's values. Running torque should be included in the values listed in the tables because any torque puts shear load on the bolt. The torque values in table V have been calculated as noted in the footnotes, by using formulas from reference 13. (A similar table was published in Product Engineering by Arthur Korn around 1944.)
Higher torques (up to theoretical yield) are sometimes used for bolts that cannot be locked to resist vibration. The higher load will increase the vibration resistance of the bolt, but the bolt will yield and unload if its yield point is inadvertently exceeded. Since the exact yield torque cannot be determined without extensive instrumentation, it is not advisable to torque close to the bolt yield point.
Fastener proof load is sometimes listed in the literature. This value is usually 75 percent of theoretical yield, to prevent inadvertent yielding of the fastener through torque measurement inaccuracies.
Alternative Torque Formula
A popular formula for quick bolt torque calculations is T = KFd, where T denotes torque, F denotes axial load, d denotes bolt diameter, and K (torque coefficient) is a calculated value from the formula:

as given in reference 14 (p.378) where
dm thread mean diameter
ψ thread helix angle
μ friction coefficient between threads
α thread angle
μc friction coefficient between bolthead (or nut) and clamping surface
The commonly assumed value for K is 0.2, but this value should not be used blindly. Table VI gives some calculated values of K for various friction coefficients. A more realistic "typical" value for K would be 0.15 for steel on steel. Note that μ and μc are not necessarily equal, although equal values were used for the calculated values in table VI.
Torque-Measuring Methods
A number of torque-measuring methods exist, starting with the mechanic's "feel" and ending with installing strain gages on the bolt. The accuracy in determining the applied torque values is cost dependent. Tables VII and VIII are by two different "experts," and their numbers vary. However, they both show the same trends of cost versus torque accuracy.
Design Criteria
Finding Shear Loads on Fastener Group
When the load on a fastener group is eccentric, the first task is to find the centroid of the group. In many cases the pattern will be symmetrical, as shown in figure 28. The next step is to divide the load R by the number of fasteners n to get the direct shear load Pc (fig. 29(a)). Next, find Σr2n; for the group of fasteners, where rn is the radial distance of each fastener from the centroid of the group. Now calculate the moment about the centroid (M = Re from fig. 28). The contributing shear load for a particular fastener due to the moment can be found by the formula

where r is the distance (in inches) from the centroid to the fastener in question (usually the outermost one). Note that this is analogous to the torsion formula, ƒ = Tr/1, except that Pe is in pounds instead of stress. The two loads (Pc and Pe) can now be added vectorally as shown in figure 29(c) to get the resultant shear load P (in pounds) on each fastener. Note that the fastener areas are all the same here. If they are unequal, the areas must be weighted for determining the centroid of the pattern.
Further information on this subject may be found in references 16 and 17.
Finding Tension Loads on Fastener Group
This procedure is similar to the shear load determination, except that the centroid of the fastener group may not be the geometric centroid. This method is illustrated by the bolted bracket shown in figure 30.
The pattern of eight fasteners is symmetrical, so that the tension load per fastener from P1 will be P/8. The additional

If the plate is thick enough to take the entire moment P2h in bending at the edge AB, that line could be used as the heeling point, or neutral axis. However, in this case, I have taken the conservative approach that the plate will not take the bending and will heel at the line CD. Now the Er� will only include bolts 3 to 8, and the rn's (in inches) will be measured from line CD. Bolts 7 and 8 will have the highest tensile loads (in pounds), which will be P =PT+ PM, where PT= P1!8 and An alternative way of stating this relationship is that the bolt load is proportional to its distance from the pivot axis and the moment reacted is proportional to the sum of the squares of the respective fastener distances from the pivot axis. At this point the applied total tensile load should be compared with the total tensile load due to fastener torque. The torque should be high enough to exceed the maximum applied tensile load in order to avoid joint loosening or leaking. If the bracket geometry is such that its bending capability cannot be readily determined, a finite element analysis of the bracket itself may be required. Combining Shear and Tensile Fastener Loads When a fastener is subjected to both tensile and shear loading simultaneously, the combined load must be compared with the total strength of the fastener, Load ratios and interaction curves are used to make this comparison.

The margin of safety 12 for a fastener from figure 31 is where N is the number (4, 6, 8, 10, 12) of the fastener. For example, the shank diameter of a no. 8 fastener is MS= ----1 Rs+ R!j. Diameter= 0.060 + 0.013(8) = 0.164 in. Fastener Groups in Bearing (Shear Loading) depending on which curve is used. However, note that Rs + R!j.< 1 is a requirement for a positive margin of safety. This formula also illustrates why high torque should not be applied to a bolt when the dominant load is shear. The margin of safety is calculated for both yield and ultimate material allowables, with the most critical value controlling the design. A material with a low yield will be critical for yield stress, and a material with a high yield will normally be critical for ultimate stress. Calculating Pullout Load for Threaded Hole In many cases a bolt of one material may be installed in a tapped hole in a different (and frequently lower strength) material. If the full strength of the bolt is required, the depth of the tapped hole must be determined for the weaker material by using the formula where P pullout load, lb dm mean diameter of threaded hole, in. (""' pitch diameter of threads) F, material ultimate or yield shear stress L length of thread engagement, in. The 1/3 factor is empirical. If the threads were perfectly mated, this factor would be ½, since the total cylindrical shell area of the hole would be split equally between the bolt threads and the tapped hole threads. The 1/3 is used to allow for mismatch between threads. Further information on required tapped hole lengths is given in reference 19. Calculating Shank Diameter for "Number" Fastener The shank diameter for a "number" fastener is calculated from Whenever possible, bolts in shear should have a higher shear strength than the bearing yield strength of the materials they go through. Since the bolts have some clearance and position tolerances in their respective holes, the sheet material must yield in bearing to allow the bolt pattern to load all of the bolts equally at a given location in the pattern. Note that the sloppier the hole locations, the more an individual bolt must carry before the load is distributed over the pattern. Bolts and rivets should not be used together to carry a load, since the rivets are usually installed with an interference fit. Thus, the rivets will carry all of the load until the sheet or the rivets yield enough for the bolts to pick up some load. This policy also applies to bolts and dowel pins (or roll pins) in a pattern, since these pins also have interference fits. Fastener Edge Distance and Spacing Common design practice is to use a nominal edge distance �f 2D from the fastener hole centerline, where D is the fastener diameter. The minimum edge distance should not be less than 1.5D. The nominal distance between fasteners is 4D, but the thickness of the materials being joined can be a significant factor. For thin materials, buckling between fasteners can be a problem. A wider spacing can be used on thicker sheets, as long as sealing of surfaces between fasteners is not a problem. Approximate Bearing and Shear Allowables In the absence of specific shear and bearing allowables for materials, the following approximations may be used: Alloy and carbon steels: Fsu = 0.6 F,u Stainless steels: Fsu = 0.55 F1u where Fsu is ultimate shear stress and F1u is ultimate tensile stress. Since bearing stress allowables are empirical to begin with, the bearing allowable for any given metallic alloy may be approximated as follows: Diameter= 0.060 + 0.013 N 12Margin of safety is defined as Allowable load (Stress)
- 1 Actual load (Stress) X Safety factor where Fbu is ultimate bearing stress, Fby is yield bearing stress, and Fry is tensile yield stress. Proper Fastener Geometry Most military standard (Ms) and national aerospace standard (NAS) fasteners have coded callouts that tell the diameter, grip length, drilling of the head or shank, and the material (where the fastener is available in more than one material). Rather than listing a group of definitions, it is easier to use the NAS 1003 to NAS 1020 (fig. 32) as an example to point out the following:
- The last two digits give the fastener diameter in sixteenths of an inch.
- The first dash number is the grip length in sixteenths of an inch.
- The letters given with the dash number indicate the head and/or shank drilling. In addition, an identifying letter or dash number is added to indicate the fastener material. However, this systematic practice is not rigidly followed in all MS and NAS fastener standards. Shear Heads and Nuts In the aerospace industry the general ground rule is to design such that fasteners are primarily in shear rather than tension. As a result, many boltheads and nuts are made about one-half as thick as normal to save weight. These bolts and nuts are referred to as shear bolts and shear nuts, and care must be used in never specifying them for tension applications. The torque table values must also be reduced to one-half for these bolts and nuts. Use of Proper Grip Length Standard design practice is to choose a grip length such that the threads are never in bearing (shear). Where an exact grip length is not available, the thickness of the washers used under the nut or bolthead can be varied enough to allow proper grip. Bolthead and Screwhead Styles Although the difference between bolts and screws is not clearly defined by industry, at least the head styles are fairly well defined. The only discrepancy found in figure 33 is that the plain head, with a square shoulder, is more commonly called a carriage bolthead. The angle of countersunk heads (flat) can vary from 60° to 120°, but the common values are 82 ° and 100°. Counterfeit Fasteners In the past two years a great deal of concern and publicity about counterfeit fasteners has surfaced. The counterfeit case with the most documentation is the deliberate marking of grade 8.2 boron bolts as grade 8 bolts. Grade 8.2 bolts are a low-carbon (0.22 percent C) boron alloy steel that can be heat treated to the same room-temperature hardness as grade 8 medium-carbon (0.37 per-cent C) steel. However, the room- and elevated-temperature strengths of the grade 8.2 bolts drop drastically if they are exposed to temperatures above 500 °F. Grade 8 bolts can be used to 800 °F with little loss of room-temperature strength. Other fasteners marked as MS and NAS but not up to the respective MS or NAS specification have shown up; however, documentation is not readily available. Since these fasteners are imported and have no manufacturer's identification mark on them, it is not possible to trace them back to the guilty manufacturer. U.S. Customs inspections have not been effective in intercepting counterfeit fasteners. Another problem with fasteners has been the substitution of zinc coating for cadmium coating. If a dye is used with the zinc, the only way to detect the difference in coatings is by chemical testing. Federal legislation to establish control of fastener materials from the material producer to the consumer is being formulated. Bolthead Identification Identifying an existing non-Ms, non-NAS, or non-Air Force-Navy bolt is usually a problem. Each manufacturer seems to have a different system. Frank Akstens of Fastener Technology International magazine (ref. 20) has compiled a good listing of several hundred "common" bolts. His entire compilation is enclosed as appendix A of this report. An international guide to bolt manufacturer's identification symbols has also been published by Fastener Technology International magazine. Fastener Strength Allowable strengths for many types of fasteners are given in MIL-HDBK-5 (ref. 18). Ultimate shear and tensile strengths of various threaded fasteners are given in appendix B of this report.

Rivets and Lockbolts
Rivets
Rivets are relatively low-cost, permanently installed fasteners that are lighter weight than bolts. As a result, they are the most widely used fasteners in the aircraft manufacturing industry. They are faster to install than bolts and nuts, since they adapt well to automatic, high-speed installation tools. However, rivets should not be used in thick materials or in tensile applications, as their tensile strengths are quite low relative to their shear strengths. The longer the total grip length (the total thickness of sheets being joined), the more difficult it becomes to lock the rivet. Riveted joints are neither airtight nor watertight unless special seals or coatings are used. Since rivets are permanently installed, they have to be removed by drilling them out, a laborious task. General Rivet Types The general types of rivets are solid, blind, tubular, and metal piercing (including split rivets). From a structural design aspect the most important rivets are the solid and blind rivets. Solid rivets.-Most solid rivets are made of aluminum so that the shop head can be cold formed by bucking it with a pneumatic hammer. Thus, solid rivets must have cold-forming capability without cracking. A representative listing of solid rivets is given in table IX (ref. 21). Some other solid rivet materials are brass, SAE 1006 to SAE 1035, 1108 and I 109 steels, A286 stainless steel, and titanium. Note that the rivets in table IX are covered by military standard specifications, which are readily available. Although most of the solid rivets listed in table IX have universal heads, there are other common head types, as shown in figure 34. However, because the "experts" do not necessarily agree on the names, other names have been added to the figure. Note also that the countersunk head angle can vary from 60° to 120° although 82° and 100° are the common angles.

Blind rivets.-Blind rivets get their name from the fact that they can be completely installed from one side. They have the following significant advantages over solid rivets:
- Only one operator is required for installation.
- The installation tool is portable (comparable to an electric drill in size). 13Briles Rivet Corporation, Oceanside, California. Button Truss (brazier) Flat Countersunk (flush) Pan (universal) u u Shear-bearing area Shear-bearing area
- They can be used where only one side of the workpiece is accessible.
- A given-length rivet can be used for a range of material thicknesses.
- Installation time is faster than with solid rivets.
- Clamping force is more uniform than with solid rivets.
- Less training is required for the operator. Blind rivets are classified according to the methods used to install them:
- Pull mandrel
- Threaded stem
- Drive pin Specific types (brands) of blind rivets are covered in subsequent sections of this manual. Pull-mandrel rivets: This rivet is installed with a tool that applies force to the rivet head while pulling a prenotched serrated mandrel through to expand the far side of the tubular rivet. When the proper load is reached, the mandrel breaks at the notch. A generic pull-mandrel rivet is shown in figure 36. Threaded-stem rivets: The threaded-stem rivet (fig. 37(a)) has a threaded internal mandrel (stem) with the external portion machined flat on two sides for the tool to grip and rotate. The head is normally hexagonal to prevent rotation of the tubular body while the mandrel in being torqued and broken off. Drive-pin rivets: This rivet has a drive pin that spreads the far side of the rivet to form a head, as shown in figure 38. Although drive-pin rivets can be installed quickly, they are Rivet inserted Start setting

usually not used in aerospace applications. They are used primarily for commercial sheet metal applications. Tubular rivets.-Tubular rivets are partially hollow and come in a variety of configurations. The generic form has a manufactured head on one side and a hollow end that sticks through the pieces being joined. The hollow end is cold formed to a field head. Since extensive cold forming is required on these rivets, they must be extremely ductile and are consequently made of low-strength materials. They are normally used for commercial applications rather than in the aerospace industry. Some specific types of tubular rivets are

- Semitubular
- Full tubular Inserted Installed (b) Inserted ,r- Hexagonal head°'- Installed

Figure 39.-Compression tubular rivet. (From ref. 5.)
Compression tubular rivets: A compression tubular rivet (fig. 39) consists of two parts that have an interference fit when driven together. These rivets are used commercially in soft materials and where a good appearance is required on both sides of the part. Semitubular rivets: The semitubular rivet (fig. 40) has a hole in the field end (hole depth to 1.12 of shank diameter) such that the rivet approaches a solid rivet when the field head is formed. Full tubular rivets: The full tubular rivet (fig. 41) has a deeper hole than the semitubular rivet. It is a weaker rivet than the semitubular rivet, but it can pierce softer materials such as plastic or fabric. Metal-piercing rivets.-Metal piercing rivets (fig. 42) are similar to semitubular rivets, except that they have greater column strength. Part of the sandwich material is not drilled, and the rivet pierces all the way or most of the way through while mushrooming out to a locked position.

Figure 43.-Split (bifurcated) rivet. (From ref. 5.)
Split rivets.-Split (bifurcated) rivets (fig. 43) are the standard "home repair" rivets. They have sawed or split bodies with sharp ends to make their own holes through leather, fiber, plastic, or soft metals. They are not used in critical applications. Specific Rivet Types AD & DD solid rivets.-The most common solid rivets are the AD and DD aluminum rivets, as listed in table IX. These are the preferred rivets for joining aluminums and combina-tions of aluminum and steel. The "icebox" (DD) rivets can be used in higher-strength applications, but they must be kept around 0 °F until they are installed. The 7050-T73 aluminum rivets are an alternative to "icebox" rivets. Since solid rivets are expanded to an interference fit, they should not be used in composites or fiber materials. They can cause delamination of the hole surfaces, leading to material failure. Cherry Buck rivets.-The Cherry Buck rivet 14 is a hybrid consisting of a factory head and shank of95-ksi-shear-strength titanium, with a shop end shank of ductile titanium/niobium joined together by inertia welding (fig. 44). This combinatio� allows a shop head to be formed by bucking, but the overall shear strength of the rivet approaches 95 ksi. The Cherry Buck rivet can be used to 600 °F. Mone[ rivets.-Monel (67 percent nickel and 30 percent Minimum grip.
- Maximum grip. Figure 44.-Cherry Buck rivet. copper) rivets are used for joining stainless steels, titanium, and Inconel. Mone! is ductile enough to form a head without cracking but has higher strength (Fsu = 49 ksi) and._'mperature capabilities than aluminum. Titanium/niobium rivets.-These titanium alloy rivets (per MIL-R-5674 and AMS4982) have a shear strength of 50 ksi but are still formable at room temperature. They generally do not need a coating for corrosion protection. The Cherry E-Z Buck is a titanium/niobium rivet. Cherry rivets.-The generic Cherry rivet is a blind structural rivet with a locking collar for the stem installed as shown in figure 45. (Different head types are available.) Cherry rivets are available in both nominal and oversize diameters in the common (1/s through ¼ in.) sizes. The oversize rivets are used for repairs where a nominal-size rivet (solid or blind) has been drilled out or where the initial drilled hole is oversize. These rivets have shear strengths comparable to AD solid aluminum rivets. However, their usage is restricted in aircraft manufac-turing by the guidelines of MS33522, which is included as appendix C. A typical list of available Cherry rivet materials is shown in table X. Huck blind rivets.-Huck blind rivets 15 are similar to Cherry rivets, except that they are available in higher strength material. These rivets are made with and without locking collars and with countersunk or protruding heads. Note also (in fig. 46) that the sleeve on the blind side is deformed differently on the Huck rivet than on the Cherry rivet. 14Townscnd Company.

- Stem pulls into rivet sleeve and forms large bulbed blind head; seats rivet head and clamps sheets tightly together. Shank expansion begins.
- "Safe-lock" locking collar moves into rivet sleeve recess. Formation of blind head is completed. Shear-ring has sheared from cone, thereby accommodating a minimum of ½6 in. in structure thickness variation.
- Driving anvil forms "safe-lock" collar into head recess, locking stem and sleeve securely together. Continued pulling fractures stem, providing flush, burr-free, inspectable installation.

However, they are not recommended for critical structural applications. The stem sometimes falls out of the sleeve after the rivet is installed, and the symmetry of the blind (formed) head leaves much to be desired. Although the pop rivet shown in figure 47 is the most common type, USM makes a closed-end rivet and three different head styles. 16usM Corporation, Pop Rivet Division, Shelton, Connecticut.
Lockbolts
In general, a lockbolt is a nonexpanding, high-strength fastener that has either a swaged collar or a type of threaded collar to lock it in place. It is installed in a standard drilled hole with a snug fit but normally not an interference fit. A lockbolt is similar to an ordinary rivet in that the locking collar or nut is weak in tension loading and is difficult to remove once installed. Some of the lockbolts are similar to blind rivets and can be completely installed from one side. Others are fed into the workpiece with the manufactured head on the far side. The installation is then completed from the near side with a gun similar to blind rivet guns. Lockbolts are available with either countersunk or protruding heads. Since it is difficult to determine whether a lockbolt is installed properly, they should be used only where it is not possible to install a bolt and nut of comparable strength. However, they are much faster to install than standard bolts and nuts. Serrated Lock collar pin (solid or s type optional) (a) (b)

Jo-Bolts Jo-bolts are similar to blind rivets in appearance and installation. The locking collar (sleeve) is expanded to form Hi-Lok The Hi-Lok 17 lockbolt has a countersunk or protruding manufactured head and threads like a bolt. It is fed through the hole from the far side. The installation gun prevents shank rotation with a hexagonal key while the nut is installed (as shown in fig. 49). The nut (collar) hexagonal end is notched to break off at the desired torque. Hi-Lok lockbolts are available in high-strength carbon steel (to 156-ksi shear), stainless steel (to 132-ksi shear), and titanium (to 95-ksi shear). Huckbolts Huckbolts 15 are similar to Hi-Loks except that the stem is usually serrated rather than threaded. The collar is swaged on the stem. Then the stem is broken at the notch as shown in figure 50. Huckbolts and their collars are available in carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel with various strengths, as listed in the Huck catalog. Taper-Lok Taper-Lok 18 1s a high-strength threaded fastener that is a shop head by rotating the threaded stem with a gun. The threaded stem is notched and breaks off when the proper torque is reached. A typical Jo-bolt installation is shown in figure 48. 17Hi-Shear Corporation, Torrance, California. 18SPS Technologies, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Typical installation

Figure 51.-Taper-Lok installation.
Forged head Typical installation installed with an interference fit. Most of the shank is tapered on a 1.19° angle. The lubricated lockbolt is driven into a drilled and reamed hole. The interference fit allows the nut (tension or shear nut) to be installed and torqued to the:equired value without holding the lockbolt to prevent rotation (see fig. 51). The nuts are locknuts with captive washers. When a tension nut is installed, this fastener can take as much tension load as a bolt of the same size and material. Consequently, Taper-Loks are used in critical applications wher� cycl!c loading is a problem. Taper-Lok lockbolts are available 1n high-strength alloy steel, H-11 tool steel, and several stainless steels, as well as titanium. Rivnuts A Rivnut 19 is a tubular rivet with internal threads that is deformed in place to become a blind nutplate (fig. 52). Ri, nuh are available with protruding, countersunk, and fillister heads. They are also available with closed ends, sealed heads. ribbed shanks, hexagonal shanks, and ribbed heads. Since the unthreaded tubular portion of the rivet must deform. the material must be ductile. Consequently, the Ri, nut materials are fairly low strength, as shown in table XI. 19B.F. Goodrich, Engineered System Division. Alrnn. Ohi<'. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)
- Step 1-Rivnut fastener is threaded onto mandrel of installation tool.
- Step 2-Rivnut fastener, on tool mandrel, is inserted into hole drilled for installation.
- Step 3-Mandrel retracts and pulls threaded portion ofRivnut fastener shank toward blind side of work, forming bulge in unthreaded shank area.
- Step 4-Rivnut fastener is clinched securely in place; mandrel is unthreaded, leaving internal Rivnut threads intact.
- Blind nutplate-Properly installed Rivnut fastener makes excellent blind nutplate for simple screw attachments; countersunk Rivnut fasteners can be used for smooth surface installation.

It is installed with a lockbolt tool as shown in figure 54.
General Guidelines for Selecting Rivets and Lockbolts
A number of standard documents are available for the selection, installation, and drawing callout of rivets and lockbolts as follows:
- Rivet installations are covered by MIL-STD-403. This specification covers pilot holes, deburring, countersinking, dimpling, and the application of zinc chromate paint between dissimilar materials. Other specifications for corrosion prevention of drilled or countersunk surfaces are covered in MIL-P-116 and MIL-STD-171.
- Design and selection requirements for blind structural rivets are given in MS33522 (appendix C). Design and selection requirements for blind nonstructural rivets are given in MS33557.
- A wealth of information on allowable rivet strengths in various materials and thicknesses is given in chapter 8 of MIL-HDBK-5 (ref. 18).
- Testing of fasteners is covered by MIL-STD-1312.
- Lockwiring is done per MS33540. Note that the nominal rivet spacing for a rivet pattern is an edge distance of 2D and a linear spacing of 4D, where D is the rivet diameter. However, the 4D spacing can be increased if sealing between rivets or interrivet buckling is not a problem. Solid rivets (expanded during installation) should not be used in composite materials, as they can overstress the hole and cause delamination of the material.

Subject matter includes fastener material selection, platings, lubricants, corrosion, locking methods, washers, inserts, thread types and classes, fatigue loading, and fastener torque. A section on design criteria covers the derivation of torque formulas, loads on a fastener group, combining simultaneous shear and tension loads, pullout load for tapped holes, grip length, head styles, and fastener strengths. The second half of this manual presents general guidelines and selection criteria for rivets and lockbolts. 17.
