Guide to Pricing and Costs of Aerospace Fasteners

Find aircraft fasteners at the right price for your business

By Ben Hahn, Freelance Writer

In the manufacture or repair of aircraft, quality is paramount, but you want to be sure you compare the pricing and costs of aerospace fasteners as well. You may need to follow a certain national aerospace standard, depending on the client for which you're building aircraft, but you can probably find multiple companies selling the same aerospace bolts and rivets at competing prices. If you can't find a standard product, aerospace fastener manufacturers may be able to create custom-designed products for your use, although this will cost more.

There are thousands of styles of aviation fasteners. Because the price of aerospace fasteners varies widely depending upon which fasteners you need, you may be looking at an investment of anywhere from around $30 to over $1000. However, with so many choices, odds are you can find the aerospace fasteners online that you need at a reasonable price. Find a aerospace fastener distributor with the price you're looking for:
  1. Find aerospace fasteners provides offering kits or bulk purchases.
  2. Use parts made of the most cost-effective materials.
  3. Get the most bang for your buck with aerospace fasteners by comparing costs from multiple providers.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Save on bulk purchases or aircraft fasteners kits

Buying hundreds or thousands of aerospace fasteners at a time will save you a bundle on the cost per fasteners. Many aerospace fastener distributors offer kits including multiple fastener types.

I recommend: Genuine Aircraft Hardware sells a variety of assortments and kits of related fasteners at discount prices, ranging from around $100 to $500 for hundreds of bolts or nuts. Skybolt offers full replacement kits for a variety of airplane makes, including Cessna, Beech, Mooney, Piper and more, with pricing dependent upon the make and model.

Find cost-effective aerospace fasteners

Fasteners are what hold a moving aircraft together, so it's important that they're made from the strongest materials possible, but at the same time you need to make projects cost-effective. Products that are made from more durable materials or specialized designs may cost more per piece than other fasteners, but can reduce maintenance and upkeep costs over the life of an aircraft.

AS9100 is a standard for quality management in the aerospace industry set forward by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Aerospace fasteners should be AS9100 certified.

I recommend: The AS9100 Store explains what the AS9100 standard is, how it's overseen and why companies choose to become AS9100 certified.

Preload, or clamp force

The preload, or clamp force, of a bolt is essentially how much holding power it can be expected to exert on a bolted joint when properly tightened. Because this affects the strength of the bolted joint, it is a critical consideration in the aerospace fasteners industry.

I recommend: Bolt Science explains the function of clamp force, or preload, in figuring the strength of a bolted joint.

ISO 9100:2008

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sets and oversees certain standards for quality control in various manufacturing and service industries. Aerospace fasteners manufacturers pride themselves on being ISO 9100:2008-compliant; this shows that they are following appropriate quality-management procedures.

I recommend: Praxiom Research Group breaks the ISO 9100:2008 standard for quality management down into plain English.

Titanium

Titanium is a particularly strong and light metal alloy with a high tolerance for heat, making it the perfect material for many aerospace fasteners.

I recommend: wiseGEEK explains the history and use of titanium in fasteners and other high-performance applications.

Superalloy

A superalloy is a nickel-, cobalt- or iron-based combination of three or more metals with superior creep properties, oxidation resistance and temperature strength. Waspaloy is an example of a superalloy commonly used in the aerospace fasteners industry.

I recommend: Global Spec explains the properties, characteristics, uses and designation of superalloys in a variety of industries, including aerospace.

AIA
