Study Notes

Aircraft Fasteners

  • The term used to describe various types of fasteners and miscellaneous small items used to manufacture and repair aircraft is not specified in the provided text.

Bolts and Screws

  • Bolts and screws are classified as threaded fasteners.
  • Bolts are typically used in structural applications where high strength and resistance to vibration and shear are necessary.
  • The deciding factor for using screws is that they provide a simple and efficient way to assemble components.

Bolt Identification and Specifications

  • A nut is usually screwed onto the threaded end of a bolt to complete the assembly.
  • The standard thread for 1-inch diameter size bolts with 14 threads is not specified in the provided text, but it is unified national coarse (UNC).
  • Military Standard Bolts (MS bolts) have a minimum tensile strength of 125,000 psi.
  • AN Bolts can be composed of either steel, cadmium-plated steel, or corrosion-resistant (stainless) steel.

Close Tolerance NAS Bolts

  • Close Tolerance NAS Bolts can be identified by the "NAS" prefix in the part number.
  • The distinguishing feature on the head of a corrosion-resistant (stainless steel) bolt is a circle around the "R" in the marking.

Bolt Identification and Usage

  • When the letter 'H' precedes the '5' in the identification of a bolt, it indicates a heavy bolt.
  • A bolt identified as AN3DD5A is expected to be used in an application requiring high strength and resistance to vibration and shear.
  • Close Tolerance Bolts are used in critical structural applications where high strength and resistance to vibration and shear are necessary.

Additional Information

  • It is not recommended to use aluminum alloy nuts with cadmium-plated steel bolts on land airplanes because of galvanic corrosion concerns.
  • Threads for 1-inch diameter size bolts with 12 threads are classified as unified national coarse (UNC).
