    摘要: The invention relates to a fastener (10) for attaching together workpieces (50a, 50b) having aligned holes therethrough, the fastener (10) comprising a shank portion (11) and a head portion (13) provided at one end of the shank portion (11), the diameter of the shank portion (11) and/or of the head portion (13) being selected such that the fastener (10) can be installed in the aligned holes in close tolerance. The fastener (10) further comprises an oversizing structure (20), said oversizing structure (20) being firmly bonded to at least a part of the shank portion (11) and/or the head portion (13) in order to oversize at least the part of the shank portion (11) and/or the head portion (13) such as to allow the fastener (10) to be installed in aligned holes (60a, 60b) having a diameter larger than that required for the fastener (10) without the oversizing structure (20).

    摘要: A fastening member includes a screw thread formed therein. A portion including a crest portion of the screw thread is formed of a first alloy material and includes: a thick portion where the portion is maximized in thickness in a circumferential direction; and a thin portion where the portion is minimized in thickness in the circumferential direction. A portion including a root of the screw thread is formed of a second alloy material having a tensile strength higher than that of the first alloy material.

    摘要: A self-tapping screw for use in securing at least two materials together. The self-tapping screw may include a screw cap that receives a screw body to reinforce the strength of the screw head. The screw cap is composed of a zinc-aluminum alloy that may be die casted and provides additional strength and hardness to the attached screw body. The screw cap has a rolled flange that helps to securely retain the flat rim of the attached screw body.

    摘要: The object of the invention is a cap to lubricate an inner wall of a perforation going through at least two elements of the structure. The cap comprises a tubular body and at least one lubricant reserve, and before installation in the structure said cap has a largest external diameter larger than an internal diameter (DS) of the perforation, and the cap lubricates the internal surface of the perforation when its largest external diameter is radially compressed by a wall of the perforation. The invention also concerns a fastener comprising this type of cap, and an interference assembly process for the fastener equipped with the cap. The invention is applicable to the assembly of aircraft structures.

    摘要: A method for treating surfaces of fasteners made of titanium alloy or corrosion-resistant steel using a sol-gel pretreatment process prior to the application of an aluminum pigment coating. The sol-gel pretreatment process produces an interface film on the fastener surface, which interface film comprises an organometallic-based network system. The interface film aids in improving adhesion and surface roughness when fasteners are used in interference fit conditions (i.e., the hole diameter is smaller than the fastener shank diameter).

    摘要: A fixing element for components of an assembly, comprising a rod which is formed by a cylindrical shaft and an end, the rod being a metal component which is at least partially surface-treated by means of anode oxidation and coated over at least a portion of the cylindrical shaft with a lubricating coating. Such a fixing element enables the electrical continuity to be ensured with the components during mounting with moderate interference in the assembly.
