Aircraft and Aerospace Fasteners List

Owned and operated by ASAP Semiconductor, ASAP Part Services has access to an unmatched inventory of over 2 billion new and obsolete parts including aircraft fasteners and much more. Fasteners are a small but critical part throughout the aviation industry. In an industry where only top quality is accepted, fasteners are integral to the performance of an aircraft.

There are four main types of aerospace fasteners used in aircraft: bolts, nuts, washers, and fastener covers. Bolts are used in high-stress areas where extra strength is a necessity. Aircraft bolts are constructed of alloy steel, titanium, or other strong metals. Nuts are aircraft fasteners used in conjunction with bolts to fasten multiple parts together. Washers’ use in the aerospace world is the same as anywhere: to support a fastening system by distributing the load they bear. The difference is that washers used in aerospace are constructed from stronger, more lightweight materials to optimize performance of the aircraft they are affixed to. The fastener cover, as its name would suggest, provides a cover for nuts, bolts, aircraft washers, or other fastener components. They are designed in cadmium, zinc, nickel, silver, or other materials that are resistant to strenuous environmental conditions.
