Description of Job: Demonstration and use of Fasteners (Aircraft Studs)

Studs
1. Studs are metal rods that are threaded at both ends.
2. In general they are used where it is not possible, or desirable for a bolt to
be used.
3. Like many screw types of fastener, most studs are produced in a standard
form, with variants used for special purposes.
4. For example, where a standard type is unsuitable, such as when being
used in a soft metal, then a stepped stud (which has a greater holding
power) would be used.
5. A stepped stud would also be used where a damaged thread had been
removed, the hole drilled out and re-tapped.
6. It will be appreciated that the security of a stud depends upon the friction
between its thread and that of the tapped hole (the metal thread) into
which it is inserted.
7. If this friction fails to hold the stud, it will work loose and all precautions
to prevent the nut from slackening will be negated.
