A fastener is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or
more objects together. Fasteners have plenty of applications in the forms of
Nut, Bolt, Screw, Pin, Stud, Rivet, Washers and Anchors many more and are
generally made by turning or cold forging processes. Fasteners are required
by almost all the industries to secure & fulfill the mechanical need of the
concern application. Bolted connections are used when it is necessary to
fasten two elements tightly together, especially to resist shear and bending,
as in column and beam connections. Threaded metal bolts are always used
in conjunction with nuts. Another threaded fastener is the screw, which has
countless applications, especially for wood construction. Pins are used to keep two or more elements in
alignment; since the pin is not threaded, it allows for rotational movement, as in machinery parts
