Today we learned about aircraft fasteners.
Holy shit, there's a lot to know about aircraft fasteners.
Nuts, bolts, rivets, pints, et cetera.
With my background, I knew that the world of fasteners was large, but I didn't really appreciate the depth and complexity that specific types of fasteners could go into.
Sheesh.
Good news is that I'm learning how to read the codes associated with metals. Things like what the "1060" in "1060 aluminum" means. I've always wondered, but never really had a reason to go and look it up.
Now I know.
My current knife's blade is 8Cr13MoV It's a low-end Chinese steel, but at least I know what all of that gibberish means, now.
