Description
When it comes to selecting and understanding fastener materials, one of the primary considerations is strength. And strength is directly related to hardness. In this webinar we explore the relationship between strength and hardness in fastener materials. We look at how various fastener specifications, both Inch and Metric, classify fasteners according to strength and hardness.
This is a highly technical presentation but is appropriate for all levels of experience and every position in the fastener industry. When you register for this webinar, you will receive a PDF Glossary of Terms. To make best use of time in this webinar we will not cover all terms in detail but will discuss it from an applications and testing perspective.
Click Here for the list of terms we will cover. Have the list handy during the webinar for your reference as well as a copy of IFI Book Inch Book of Fasteners.
Fastener Strength and Hardness is presented by Carmen Vertullo, owner and founder of Carver Labs.
Objectives
Topics Include –
- The various types of strength fasteners are rated for
- How they are tested for these strength parameters
- How specifications, and standards define the strength of fasteners, what is required in terms of testing, and what is not
