Start with
the news release Fastener secures railway crossing from
Alcoa Fastening Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Huck C50L Lockbolt was installed at a part-welded rail crossing because it would require virtually no maintenance afterwards".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Fasteners keep cargo containers in use from
Alcoa Fastening Systems: "Miloco repairs between 25,000 and 30,000 containers per year using Huck Magna-Grip fasteners, as specified by nearly all its customers".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Alcoa Fastening Systems
concerning its Huck C50LO bolt
- take a look at Fasteners meet railway needs
which says: "Installing a Huck bolt takes a matter of seconds and provides a guaranteed clamp force".
Take a look also at the news release from Henrob Direct, Self-piercing studs chosen by Aston Martin,
as well as Products repair or replace screw threads from Alcoa Fastening Systems,
and Tooling installs nonstructructural rivets from Alcoa Fastening Systems.
