According to a recent market report, the global automotive fasteners market size is projected to grow from $24.08 billion in 2024 to $37.11 billion by 2023. Whether you’re working on an aircraft or a naval ship, you must know what fasteners will work best with each project. While permanent fasteners (such as weld nuts and […]

Do you have an important engineering task that requires the use of track-locking systems? With Quick-Change Track Lock Systems, you can experience an efficient track fastener that is easily handled without tooling.  Designed to meet the MS33601 or AS33601 standards, these are widely used in the transportation and railways industry to ensure compliance between track […]

In recent months, the electrical faults of Boeing aircrafts have well and truly underscored the need for effective aviation repairs, maintenance, inspections, and quality control. As we have seen, electrical and engine failures can and do occur in the aviation industry, which is why it’s so important to understand the tools and techniques that allow […]

Radar Absorption Materials or ‘RAMs’ are incredibly important to defence and security departments across the world. These materials are utilised for a wide variety of military and civilian applications, such as reducing the radar signature for aircraft, ships, tanks, and other mobile objects, EM interference shielding, human exposure mitigation, or reducing reflected radiation from microstrip […]

Metal ceramic foam is the backbone of many different manufacturing processes. In fact, foams, sponges, and porous materials with macroscopic pores are critical to various industries and are even used in the construction of aircraft and spaceships! Why are metal ceramic foams in such high demand? Lightweight cellular materials have always been an important element […]

Aircraft structures such as wings, flaps, tails, etc., must be structurally sound for thousands of flights. Each aircraft must withstand temperature changes, weather fluctuations, and high air pressure from ascent to descent. This is where fasteners such as Composi-Lok and Visu-Lok are so critical to aerospace fasteners projects.  With high shear, tensile, fatigue, and self-locking […]

Critical aerospace applications need appropriate tooling to handle extreme conditions in the aerospace industry. The wrong tooling, on the other hand, can have detrimental effects and pose a serious safety risk to all parties involved.  Offering high-performance aerospace fastening, Eddie Bolt tools is one of the most important tools in the industry.  Eddie-bolt pins and […]

Used to carry various wires or rope materials, cable reeling drums or a cable drum is essential for transporting various components. This includes everything from electrical cables to fibre optic cables and wire products. As such, cable reeling has become integral to heavy-duty industries such as construction, entertainment, telecommunications, electrical, mining, and transportation.  This article […]

Aerospace and defence sectors require the best in manufacturing, and cold working fasteners and equipment are one of many applications that keep aircraft operational in the toughest conditions. Eliminating or reducing crack growth around the hole, the primary function of cold working fastener holes is to strengthen metallic components. Producing this residual compressive stress zone […]
