Metal expansion nuts, often referred to as expansion anchors or expansion inserts, are specialized fasteners that expand when a bolt or screw is threaded into them. They typically consist of a cylindrical body with slits along its length or an expandable design that facilitates outward expansion. The main purpose of these nuts is to create a secure grip within a substrate, such as concrete, wood, or metal, thereby preventing loosening due to vibrational forces, temperature fluctuations, or stress.

Aircraft structural fasteners play a critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of modern aircraft. These small but essential components are responsible for holding together various parts of the aircraft, including fuselage sections, wings, and tail structures. Given the extreme conditions that aircraft operate under, such as high speeds, varying temperatures, and intense vibrations, it is imperative that the fasteners used in the construction of aircraft are of the highest quality and reliability.

The terms 3% and 4% often relate to the percentage of the anchor bolt’s yield strength in relation to the concrete’s compressive strength. For example, a 3% concrete anchor bolt means that the bolt can withstand loads up to 3% of the concrete's yield strength, while a 4% bolt can handle loads up to 4%. This distinction is vital for engineers and contractors, as it influences load calculations, safety factors, and the overall design of the structure.
