Two Day In-Person Training – Basic Aerospace Fasteners & Aerospace Materials

Explore the basics of aerospace fasteners in this all-day class. Learn why aerospace fasteners are unique in the fastener world, how an aircraft is put together with fasteners, why exotic metals are commonly used and about the variety of fastener types used in aerospace. Upon class completion, students will have a better understanding of how aerospace fasteners differ from those used for other industrial purposes – despite often looking the same.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

• How aerospace fasteners are different
• Parts of an airplane and how it is put together
• Aerospace materials such as titanium, aluminum, and nickel superalloys
• Aerospace fastener types such as bolts and screws, wrenchable nuts, lock bolts, pins and collars, anchor plates, inserts, and panel fasteners
• Requirements to be an aerospace fastener supplier

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This is a fast-paced basic course and excellent for anyone relatively new to the industry, anyone having made a role change that would benefit from a general overview of the industry, or anyone who wishes to learn more about the aerospace fasteners.

• Engineering
• Quality
• Purchasing
• Sales
• Anyone new to aerospace fasteners
• Anyone interested in learning more about aerospace fasteners

IFI Training Topic – Day 2: Aerospace Materials

COURSE DETAILS:

Explore the basics of aerospace materials in this all-day class presented by Laurence Claus, IFI Director of Education and Training. Gain an overview of materials used for fasteners – specifically those commonly used for aerospace fasteners. The class is broken into three segments —

Fastener Materials

Gain a broad introduction to material families from which fasteners are made – carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum alloys, nickel alloys, titanium and copper alloys. Each material family will be covered with special emphasis on the material families used for aerospace fasteners – titanium, aluminum, nickel alloys and alloy steels.

Mill Melts

Explore how the mill melts and processes specialty metals and titanium into an intermediate wire product.

Intermediate Product to Final Wire Product

Examine how the intermediate product from the mill is further processed into a final wire product that can be used by fastener manufacturers.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

• Engineering
• Quality
• Quoting
• Materials
• Sales
• Anyone who would like to learn more about materials used to manufacture fasteners, especially aerospace fasteners
