THE increasingly important role of high-modulus, fiber-reinforced, epoxy-resin composites in aerospace applications highlights the need for fasteners designed specifically for the materials. Strong as the composites are, they can be easily damaged by a fastener that would give excellent service when joining metals. A second limitation on the use of metal fasteners with advanced composites is the fact that certain metals commonly used for high-strength fasteners can experience galvanic corrosion in composites containing graphite or carbon fibers.
