Hobby welding and professional welding alike can be completely undone by improperly selected fastening systems. Whether it’s the welding method, the base materials, or the quality of the tools at play, working with a systemic mismatch will stop any welding project in its tracks. Northland Fastening Systems (NFS) provides in-depth, professional welding support and materials to help ensure that no projects are stymied by unsuitable fastening solutions.

Look before You Leap

Usually, an unsuitable fastening system isn’t something as obvious as, say, trying to use nails with steel beams. Instead, professional welding fastening issues tend to be subtler. Maybe the grading of the steel isn’t suited to the selected studs or the voltage of the power supply is too low for consistent bonds. How do welders know which fastening systems are best suited for their needs? Often the answer comes from prior experience and research. Understanding the characteristics of the materials you’re using can go a long way. And, perhaps, even more fundamentally, understand the quality of those materials.

High-Quality Fastening Systems

In some cases, a fastening system fails because the power, condition, or quality of the professional welding tools isn’t up to snuff. Even if the base materials and studs are well suited in theory, the end results could still be inconsistent if a professional welder isn’t working with quality goods. This means that professional welders must be able to judge whether a fastening system is ill suited to their needs, and whether the tools themselves have been prepared and manufactured to handle the job. The good news is that welders aren’t on their own when trying to strike this balance.

Despite featuring rugged reputations, building and construction are undeniably an art form. From flawless welds to secure, artful solders, creating something new from nothing is an incredible skill. When you’re connecting the pieces in your building project, you have to consider which fastening system will best suit your needs. A poorly matched fastening system can leave components loose and structures unstable. Northland Fastening Systems (NFS) has the tricks and tools you need for any building project, large and small. If you’re looking for the tools and gear to meet your deadlines and create stable, high-quality builds, look no farther than NFS.

The Dangers of Unsuitable Fastening Systems

 Personal Projects

The risk factors associated with unsuitable fastening systems can range from simple annoyances to genuine dangers. Depending on the scale and intent of your building project, a bit of instability may not be the end of the world. Personal projects and builds that are skewed more toward art rather than utility can suffer some defects without total failure. Some signs that your small-scale project has an unsuitable fastening system include—inconsistent fastening quality, poor aesthetics, and total structural failure.

Professional Projects

For large-scale building projects, the same risks apply, but with severe consequences.  Industrial or professional building projects need to have perfectly suiting fastening systems to prevent potential risk to human health. A structural failure or inconsistent weld can result in injury or death, or, at the very least, major financial loss. Whether you’re welding or utilizing any large-scale fastening from bolts to clinches, you absolutely need to ensure that the methods you’re using are suitable and strong.
