What are Jo-bolt special close fasteners constructed from?

Jo-bolt special close fasteners are constructed from three-piece, high-strength materials. This design typically consists of a bolt, a collar, and a washer. The use of high-strength materials is essential because Jo-bolts are designed to provide a secure and robust fastening solution, particularly in high-stress environments commonly found in aerospace applications.

The three-piece construction allows for enhanced load distribution and improved resistance to shear and tensile forces. This feature is critical in maintaining integrity and safety in aerospace structures where even minor failures can result in significant consequences. The materials used in Jo-bolt fasteners are selected for their mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and fatigue resistance, which further enhance their performance in demanding conditions.

Choosing high-strength materials over alternatives helps ensure that these fasteners can withstand operational loads, vibrations, and environmental factors without compromising functionality or reliability.
