ABSTRACT
Finally, the fastener must be incorporated without difficulty into the overall structural design of a product. The performance of fasteners from different materials may not always be the same for the same material in each test. Part of this problem was recognized a number of years ago with the development of the MIL-STD-1312 series of fastener test procedures. This is documented in Table 19 along with tests for magnetic particle inspection, plating thickness, and metallography. Standardization of tests is necessary in the presentation of any data on fastener materials and the fasteners made from them. (See also Chapter 52.)
