threaded fastener with a hybrid locking mechanism, and method of producing a threaded fastener with a hybrid locking mechanism.

摘要

a threaded fastener with a hybrid locking mechanism includes a rod having a threaded portion, a first locking mechanism disposed on the threaded part, and a second locking mechanism disposed on the threaded part extending over the first locking mechanism. the first locking mechanism provides a primary retaining force during initial use of the threaded fastener and the second locking mechanism provides the primary retaining force during subsequent uses of the threaded fastener. A method of fabricating the threaded fastener includes applying a first locking mechanism material to the rod and applying a second locking mechanism material to the first locking mechanism material to the rod.
