• Lock Nuts – Prevent loosening due to vibrations

2. Brass Bolts

• Hex Bolts – Used for heavy-duty applications requiring high strength
• Carriage Bolts – Feature a smooth, domed head for aesthetic appeal
• Machine Bolts – Threaded along their entire length for machinery applications

3. Brass Screws

• Wood Screws – Used for securing wooden structures
• Machine Screws – Designed for use in tapped holes
• Self-Tapping Screws – Create their own threads in materials like plastic and metal

4. Brass Washers

• Flat Washers – Distribute the load of a fastener evenly
• Spring Washers – Provide tension to prevent loosening
• Lock Washers – Help secure nuts and bolts in place

5. Brass Rivets

• Used for permanent fastening in industries like aerospace, construction, and manufacturing
