5 Basic Types of Fasteners:
Bolts are fasteners that are used to connect two or more objects together.

Bolts are fasteners that are used to connect two or more objects together. They are usually made of metal and have a head larger than the bolt's body. The head of the bolt is usually round or hexagonal in shape. There are many different types of bolts, but the most common type is the hex bolt.

Bolts are classified according to their diameter, length, and thread pitch. The diameter of a bolt is measured from the outside of the threads. The length of a bolt is measured from under the head to the end of the bolt. The thread pitch is the distance between adjacent threads on the Bolt.

Bolts are made from a variety of materials, including steel, brass, stainless steel, and aluminum. The most common type of steel used for bolts is carbon steel.

 

Number 2: Nuts

A nut is a fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are almost always used in conjunction with a mating bolt to fasten multiple parts together. The two partners are kept together by a combination of their threads' friction (with slight elastic deformation), a slight stretching of the bolt, and compression of the parts to be held together.
