Joining Technology - Mechanical Fastening
Technology that can bond all solid materials. The main method for joining dissimilar materials.
This joining method uses three-dimensional restraint and frictional force and is represented by bolts, nuts, screws and rivets. This process is generally done in cold and non-melt. It has enough versatility to join all kinds of solids, but it is inferior to welding in terms of automation and efficiency. These improvements are progressing.
