Workmanship - What is it and Why is it Important for

Aerospace Fasteners

Co-Produced by Industrial Fasteners Institute and Fastener Training Institute Date Monday, February 16, 2026 Time 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Location Courtyard by Marriott Santa Ana/Orange County, CA Instructor Laurence Claus, IFI Director of Education and Training COURSE DETAILS Fastener Fatigue is of special concern for aerospace fasteners. For this reason, aerospace fastener manufacturers take extraordinary measures to ensure part workmanship is at its best. This is an excellent topic for quality team members, engineers, manufacturing leads, sales, or for anyone wanting to know more about why part workmanship is so important to aerospace fasteners. This one-day training explores workmanship relative to cold-headed fasteners as well as common manufacturing defects – and the actions and countermeasures employed by the industry to reduce or eliminate them. The class also studies each of the major processing steps - contribution of the raw material, cold-heading, thread rolling, and material handling. WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course is designed for individuals who use fastener standards. It is likely more helpful to those new to the industry or who seldom use standards - but will also serve as a good refresher to those with many years of experience since fastener standards always evolve. • Quality, engineering or materials team members • Technical sales professionals • Anyone tasked with quoting products • Employees who use standards PRICING Early bird pricing is available for $575 per day or $1150 for both days if combined with Standards 101: Aerospace Version on Tuesday, February 17. Prices increase to $675 and $1350 on January 31, 2026. The class is FREE for IFI Members.
