"AN310"- aircraft castle nut "D"-2024-T aluminum alloy "5"-5/16 inch diameter "R"-right hand thread

What is the main purpose of a threaded fastener?

Decrease the time of taking something apart that requires frequent intervals.

What are some common metals used in aircraft?

Magnesium, Aluminum, Titanium, Copper, Manganese, Monel, K monel, Nickel

What is Ferrous and Nonferrous?

Magnetic and Nonmagnetic metals. Iron is the main property

How are most hardware items identified?

Part Number

How long should a standard pigtail be?

1/4 to 1/2 inch 3 to 6 twist minimum

How many classes of fit are there?

4

How many twist per inch for 0.051-0.060

4-9

How many twist per inch for 0.032-0.041

6-11

How many twist per inch for 0.020-0.025

What are the advantages and disadvantages of control cables?

Advantages: Its strong and light weight. Its flexibility makes it easy to route through the aircraft. Can be set up without backlash. Disadvantages: Tension must be adjusted frequently due to stretching and temperature change

What does AMS mean

Aeronautical Material Specifications

What does AS mean

Aeronautical Standard

What does AN mean

Airforce Navy

What does AND mean

Airforce-Navy design

What does ASTM mean

American Society for Testing Materials

What does ASA mean

American Standard Association

Why is aluminum the most widely used metal in aircraft?

Because of its high strength to weight ratio and its comparative ease of fabrication. Its lightweight, nonmagnetic, an excellent conductor, and it can be heated to extreme temperatures before it will melt

The property of a metal which allows little bending or deformation without shattering. It is apt to break or crack without change of shape.

Brittleness

Most aircraft bolts are fabricated from what material?

Cadmium or zinc plated corrosion resistant steel, and unplated corrosion resistant steel, anodized aluminum

What material are control cables made from?

Carbon and stainless steel

What class are almost all aircraft bolts manufactured at?

Class 3

The property of a metal that enables a metal to carry heat of electricity.

Conductivity

What is the most widely used linkage in flight control systems?

Control cables

The weight of a unit volume of a material. In aircraft work, the specified weight of a material per cubic inch. This is an important consideration when choosing a material to be used in the design of a part in order to maintain the proper weight and balance of the aircraft.

Density

The property of metal which permits it to be permanently drawn, bent, or twisted into various shapes without breaking. This property is essential for metals used in making wire and tubing.

Ductility

The property that enables a metal to return to its original size and shape when the force which causes the change of shape is removed.

Elasticity

The ability of a metal to become liquid by the application of heat

Fusibility

The ability of a material to resist abrasion, penetration, cutting action, or permanent distortion.

Hardness

What 2 units of measure are used in torque value?

Inch pounds and foot pounds

Why is Teflon such a good material for use on seals?

It does not deteriorate with age, and can tolerate extreme temperatures

What does MS mean

Military Standard

What are the threads per inch of fine threads?

NF is 12 UNF is 14

What does NAS mean

National Aerospace Standard

What does NAF mean

Naval Aircraft Factory

What are 3 defining shapes of packings or seals?

O, U, V

What is a packing?

Packings are made of rubber. They are generally used as "running seals"

What are two general categories of aircraft nuts?

Self locking and non selflocking

What does SAE mean

Society of Automotive Engineers

What are the two main categories of rivets?

Solid shank and blind

One of the most important properties of metal. The ability of the material to resist deformation and to resist stress without breaking.

Strength

Why are different metals needed for the repair of aircraft?

Strength, Weight, Durability, and resistance to deterioration of specific structures or parts

Why is the selection of the right metal/materials so important in aircraft maintenance?

The use of inferior materials can result in the loss of life and equipment

This refers to contraction and expansion that are reactions produced in metals as the results of heating or cooling.

Thermal Expansion

What is the direction safety wire is supposed to pull and why?

Tightening to prevent loosening

What table is available for use in finding general torque settings for nuts, screws, and bolts?

Torque Table

What tool is used for torqueing hardware?

Torque wrench

A property of metal that will withstand tearing or shearing and may be stretched or otherwise deformed without breaking.

Toughness

What are cable designation based on?

based on the number of strands and the number of wires in each strand. Example 7x7

What are 2 types of threads?

fine and coarse

What is a gasket?

gaskets are used as static (stationary) seals between two flat surfaces. Common gasket materials are asbestos, copper, cork, and rubber

what does MS 4-28 mean?

indicates that a 1/4inch (4/16inch) diameter bolt has 28 threads in 1 inch of its threaded length

what does 7x19 in a cable mean?

the cable is made up of 7 strands of 19 wires each

What are wipers used for?

used to clean and lubricate the exposed portions of piston shafts.
