Fasteners are essential hardware components that enter into almost every
design. They may be classified into two broad categories: Removable and Permanent.
Removable Fasteners are definded as those that
can be easily removed with hand tools and without damaging any parts. Ordinary
nuts and bolts are typical examples. Permanent Fasteners are
those that are installed so as to to remain permanently in place; they would not be
removed for routine maintenance work. Rivets, drive pins and welded joints fall into
this category.
