A
  • to provide a predictable surface upon which the nut can slide
  • spreading load
  • to cover a hole
  • protect the clamped surface from maring

25
what limitations come with using a NYLOC NUT?
NYLOC NUTS can only be put on one way around, but are also restricted to fairly low temperature use
26
2 types of nuts that both integrate ratcheting washers into their design, restricted to one-way application, quickly spin on, not limited by temp, not much more effective than using plain nut and lock washer combo
- FLANGE NUTS - KREPS-K-LOC NUTS
27
nuts that have had the threads deformed to greatly increase friction
- CENTER LOCK NUTS (dented on one flat) - DISTORTED NUTS (with lobular deformation of the top threads) - MARSDEN NUTS (free spinning, but the fingers created by thin slits tend to bend inward when heavily torqued during final tightening)
28
nuts designed to be used in conjunction with a COTTER (SPLIT) PIN
CASTLE (SLOTTED) NUTS
29
what is routinely done to ensure absolute safety and accountability
- split type lock washers are installed - thread-locking adhesive to stop vibration loosening - safety wire - metal tags attached to the safety wire (accountability)
30
machine screws that don't have a head, a short threaded rod with some means of being driven at one end, and a gripping surface at the other end
SET SCREWS/BLIND SCREWS/GRUB SCREWS (outside the U.S.)
31
without a head, these can be driven below flush with a surface and are used mainly for light-duty applications
SET SCREWS
32
the most common driver
ALLEN (HEX SOCKET)
33
other types of drivers available
- SLOTTED - PHILLIPS - TORX - TAMPER PROOF
34
screws that don't develop much tension and rely primarily on friction with the underlying surface to remain secure
SET SCREWS
35
one example of a mechanical fastener system, basically a heavy-duty version of that used to bind paper sheets together, mostly seen on cardboard packing cartons
METAL STAPLING/STITCHING
36
an example of a mechanical fastener system that relies on elastic flexing and cunning "one-way" design
SNAP-FIT FASTENING
37
one modern unique type of fastener commonly known as VELCRO
HOOK & LOOP
38
a modern fastener that has a 2 part system with both parts being constructed on a fabric backing
CLOTH HOOK & LOOP
39
advantages of VELCRO
- perfect closure of backpack, shoes, clothes - light - fast to use - micro-adjustable
40
disadvantages of VELCRO
- noisy - wear out over time
41
how do you separate VELCRO
a force must be applied greater that the holding force
42
a heavy-duty industrial use fastening system; conceptually it is a HOOK & LOOP design, and its functionality borrows heavily from SNAP-FIT technology
STEEL VELCRO
43
a fastening system that addresses the problem of easy removal by employing "shape memory alloy" for the hooks
ELECTRO-ACTIVE VELCRO
44
used to BOND (stick) two surfaces together, very broad and diverse JOINING method
ADHESIVES (glues)
45
name an advantage that other JOINING METHODS like BOLTING, RIVETING, and WELDING, ADHESIVE BONDING
- smooth uninterrupted surface - no stress concentrations - vibration and sound dampening - sealing against fluid intrusion con cope with complex geometries - can join materials of different composition - lightweight - no damage to heat-sensitive materials - no holes or loss of material integrity
46
name is a disadvantage that other JOINING METHODS like BOLTING, RIVETING, and WELDING, ADHESIVE BONDING
- takes time to reach full strength - need for meticulous surface preparation - low peel strength & susceptible to creep - poor heat resistance - poor resistance to solvents - inflammability - toxicity during assembly & Disposal - damage from humidity, UV, and microbes - not easily disassembled
47
5 examples of different forms of ADHESIVES:
- paste (mastic) - liquid - tape - powder - solid (sticks)
48
STEPS 1 of the SURFACE PREPARATION PROCEDURE
SCUFF/ABRADE the adherend surface to remove oxidation or loose material and rough up the surfaces to provide a better BITE for the adhesive
49
in STEP 1 of the surface preparation procedure, what is used to pick up debris rather than blowing it off with the risk of it resettling on the surface
TACK CLOTH
50
STEP 2 of the surface preparation procedure
DEGREASING with a solvent to remove films and oily contaminants, not the same as cleaning which may leave a residue
51
5 examples of flavored solvents used for DEGREASING
- DENATURED ALCOHOL - ACETONE - MINERAL SPIRITS - PAINT THINNER - TURPENTINE
52
STEP 3 of the surface preparation procedure involves making sure the environment around the work area is well-ventilated and that PPE is worn
CURING MECHANISM
53
5 types of CURING MECHANISMS
- SOLVENT- cures as moisture evaporates away - CHEMICALLY REACTIVE- cures as two components are mixed together - HOT MELT- heat activated - UV CURE- exposed to ultra-violet light - PRESSURE ACTIVATED- d by applying physical pressure, almost immediate
54
4 examples of common ADHESIVE types:
- SUPERGLUE/CRAZY GLUE, technically known as CYANOACRYLATE - EPOXY - ANAEROBIC THREAD LOCKER (loctite) - CAULK
55
marketed for its instant curing ability, not a particularly strong adhesive especially in shear and on smooth surfaces
SUPER GLUE
56
standard SUPERGLUE is mildly toxic, but this can be reduced by using a medical formulation based on 2-octyl cyanoacrylate
DERMABOND
57
known as a TWO-PART adhesive, since it requires two liquid chemicals to be combined together, a STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE
EPOXY
58
what are the 2 types of liquid chemicals combined in EPOXY
RESIN and HARDENER
59
ADVANTAGES of EXPOXY (5)
- very strong - adhere to virtually any material - can cure underwater - very stable and resistant to heat, moisture, and many chemicals - show very little creep
60
DISADVANTAGES of EPOXY ()
- poor toughness, prone to shattering under impact - doesn't cure instantly - the faster the cure time the lower the strength - joints must be immobilized until handling cure is reached
61
adhesive that cures in the ABSENCE OF OXYGEN and requires CONTACT WITH A METAL, comes in various strength grades for any given fastener configuration
ANAEROBIC/THREAD LOCKER
62
a special type of low-strength adhesive, ELASTOMER that provides flexibility rather than strength, used as a SEALANT to prevent fluid intrusion in bathtubs or along chimney flashing.
CAULK
63
CAULK formulations can be based on: (4)
- LATEX - SILICONE - URETHANE - ACRYLIC
64
factors to consider the choosing a CAULK (6)
- adhesion to various materials (including wet surfaces) - expansion coefficient - UV resistance - drying/cracking - yellowing - cleanup/removal
