How many fastening methods in the world?

Concept of Fastening Methods

Fastening methods refer to the methods and tools used to fix and connect materials in the fields of construction, machine manufacturing, furniture making, etc. Different application scenarios and materials require different fastening methods.

The common Fastening methods

The fastening method are generally determined by several factors such as the structure, the material, working occasions etc.. Here, some common fastening methods are introduced below.

Threaded connection: Threaded connection is a common fastening method that connects bolts, nuts or screws to workpieces through the rotational movement of threads. Threaded connections have the characteristics of detachability and strong load-bearing capacity, and are widely used in mechanical equipment, automobile manufacturing and other fields.

Welding: Welding is a method of heating metal materials to a molten state and then cooling them to form a strong connection. Welding has the advantages of firm connection and simple structure, and is often used in steel structures, pipelines, ships and other fields.

Adhesive connection: Adhesive connection is a way of bonding materials together using glue or adhesive. Adhesive connections are suitable for some special materials or occasions that require waterproofing and heat insulation, such as furniture manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, etc.

Mortise and tenon connection: Mortise and tenon connection is a traditional carpentry connection method. The connection is achieved by opening mortises and tenons in the wood and then inserting tenons. Mortise and tenon joints have the characteristics of strong structure and beautiful appearance, and are often used in wooden furniture, building structures and other fields.

Integrated nail fixation: Integrated nail is a new fastening tool that uses compressed air or motor drive to push nails into building materials through a spring mechanism. Integrated nail fixing is suitable for fixing wood, metal components, steel materials, concrete etc., and is often used in construction, furniture production and other fields.
