About the Seminar  
Threaded fasteners are a notable cause of service and other related problems. Besides possible safety implications, fastener failures can represent a significant proportion of a product's warranty costs. This training seminar presents key knowledge and facts to an Engineer to enable bolted joints to be designed and fasteners sized so that they will not fail. A training course handbook is provided to all delegates. The handbook contains background information to the material presented on the course together with tables of thread stress areas, thread shear areas and fastener material strength details.
Who Should Attend
Since most manufactured products involve the use of fasteners for assembly, this seminar is very beneficial to professionals working on design and development, maintenance, and procurement of fasteners and bolted interfaces. If you are involved in design engineering, manufacturing and assembly, standardization, testing, quality control, or otherwise involved with technical aspects of fasteners, this course is designed especially for you.
