Development of Technology for Modernizing Depot Handling of Fasteners

摘要

This report the results of research conducted for the Defense Logistics Agency(DLA) in the development of a technology for modernizing depot handling of fasteners. The proposed technology would aid in performing a limited technical inspection of the geometric and metallurgical qualities of fasteners as they are received from manufacturers of distributions. The technology would validate received material (providing technical data to assure that the received material corresponds to the contract that was issued) and help identify stock (providing a National Stock Number for material that is received with improper or absent documentation).
