In 2011, for the first time the Fastener Training Institute in conjunction with the Industrial Fasteners Institute (IFI), Independence, OH, USA, offered a new training course - Automotive Fastener Technology. Because of the overwhelming response to that seminar, this technical two-day course will be offered again in 2012. Automotive Fastener Technology was created to provide a better understanding of automotive fasteners for fastener manufacturers, service providers, tier suppliers and OEMs and emphasizes a hands-on approach along with in-depth technical content. The course will again be presented in Troy, MI, USA, Wednesday to Thursday, April 18 to 19, 2012. Check the website listed at the end of this article to view details on the course content and to register on-line. Topics include torque tightening, failure analysis, steel fastener metallurgy, heat treatment and coatings and surface finishing. The training will include classroom instruction along with tours of both a heat treating facility and a coating/surface finishing facility.
