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]
- 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]
- Metal [r]: Add brief definition or description
