October 21-22, 2024: Why Fasteners Fail in Service & Fastener Standards 101 – Industrial Version In-Person Training

This one-day seminar explores how and why fasteners fail in service. Participants will first gain a fundamental understanding of failure mechanics, specifically the difference between brittle and ductile failure. With this foundation laid,  we will investigate common fastener failure modes such as overload, progressive failures like fatigue and creep, corrosion, and hydrogen embrittlement.  In addition to the basic engineering and mechanics of failure, this course is peppered with actual case studies which illustrate how these issues actually occur in the real world. Understanding these mechanisms gives the participant a greater perspective on the criticality of properly designed, installed, and utilized fasteners.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• This course is designed to be a simple but comprehensive look at why fasteners fail. It is appropriate for anyone with an interest or focus on fastener engineering, design, and manufacturing. Understanding potential failures may help educate participants in what to look for and how to prevent failures in the future.

IFI Training Topic – Day 2: Fastener Standards 101 – Industrial Version

Course Details:

This one-day seminar was developed to educate and familiarize participants on Fastener Standards such as ASME, ASTM, and SAE. It will explore how these standards are developed and amended. Participants will gain an understanding of the differences between product and material standards and how to find the right standard and navigate through it. This class will also explore a selection of standards that provide guidance on a variety of thorny issues experienced by fastener suppliers and users. This course is designed for the individual that uses fastener standards. It is likely to be more helpful to those that are new to the industry or seldom use standards, but will also serve as a refresher to someone with many years of experience. Fastener standards are ever evolving, so regardless of where one is at in their career, there are new things to be learned.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• Quality, Engineering, Technical Sales, Quoting, or anyone that would like to know more about fasteners and the industry
