Parent topics

• Engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. ^[e]

Subtopics

• Bolt (fastener) [r]: In the most common form, a threaded fastener with a solid nut-like head to be turned with a wrench, and a nut to secure the far end ^[e]
• Nail (fastener) [r]: A fastener that holds materials together primarily by friction; the most common types have a flat head to which a hammer applies force to the head, at one end, to drive the tip, at the other end, through the work ^[e]
• Nut (fastener) [r]: A supplementary fastener that secures a screw or bolt ^[e]
• Rivet (fastener) [r]: A mechanical fastener consisting of a smooth cylindrical shaft, which, once installed, has heads on either end. ^[e]
• Screw (fastener) [r]: A fastener that holds materials together both by friction and the mechanical resistance of spiral threads that fit tightly into the material holding it ^[e]
• Washer (fastener) [r]: Add brief definition or description

• Fastening tool [r]: A tool used to install fasteners, in order to combine parts of material into a whole ^[e]
  • Die (tool) [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Hammer (tool) [r]: A muscle-, motor-, or explosive-powered tool for applying one or more impacts to an object; the object can be another tool or can be material to be directly manipulated ^[e]
  • Tap (tool) [r]: A tool for cutting threads into a predrilled hole ^[e]
  • Screwdriver (tool) [r]: A tool used to apply rotational force to the heads of screws, to insert them or remove them from the hole that receives the screw ^[e]
  • Wrench (tool) [r]: A fastening tool used to tighten or loosen threaded fasteners, with one end that makes firm contact with flat surfaces of the fastener, and the other end providing a means of applying force ^[e]

Other related topics

• Fastening technique [r]: A subset of bonding techniques, which mechanically join pieces of work using one or more connectors called fasteners, which offer frictional resistance ^[e]
• Bonding (mechanical) [r]: A variety of methods, including the use of fasteners, adhesives, fillers such as soldering, and actual merging as in welding, for joining objects; bonding may be adequate if mechanically solid, or may require additional care to be electrically conductive or liquid-tight ^[e]
  • Adhesive [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Brazing [r]: Add brief definition or description
  • Soldering [r]: A bonding or fastening technique for joining pieces of metal with a filler metal, which has a lower melting point, below 800 degrees Fahrenheit or 427 degrees Celsius, than the pieces to be joined and is melted by heat conducted through the work ^[e]
  • Welding [r]: Fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence at a high melting point. ^[e]
• Strength of materials [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Wood [r]: Organic material produced as a secondary xylem in the stems of trees (and other woody plants). ^[e]
