Scaffolding and other support structures used in building and construction applications require copious amounts of fasteners to ensure stability during use.

Fasteners employed in the marine industry require excellent corrosion resistance to withstand the long periods of exposure to saltwater that marine decks, ramps, bulkheads, and tanks experience. Materials such as stainless steel and aluminum are commonly used for marine fasteners.

Fasteners are used to assemble a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, airplanes, and specialized construction equipment.

Fasteners for the power generation industry are made of high strength and corrosion resistant materials such as aluminum, copper, nickel alloys, stainless steel, and other steel allows. Typical applications include use in electrical equipment, exhaust systems, motors and pumps, and storage containers.

Similar to military fasteners, fasteners used in the oil and gas industries must provide consistent performance in high stress and corrosive conditions. These fasteners find application in processing equipment such as drilling rigs, tanks, and pumps.

In chemical refineries, fasteners are made using high performance, corrosion resistant materials, such as stainless steel, tool alloys, and exotic metals. They find application in equipment such as heat exchangers, tanks, and processing systems.
