The aviation industry is constantly keeping up with technological advancements in the aerospace realm, ensuring that materials they use to manufacture their products are of the highest quality. For example, as fasteners find employment in a wide range of aviation applications, with nearly one million being used on a single aircraft alone, they must be produced with top-quality materials. In general, aircraft fasteners range from bolts and nuts to rivets and washers, many of which work in tandem to hold different parts together.

Many modernized instruments and systems are highly reliable in their performance, many can be sensitive and susceptible to magnetism. For example, magnetic compasses can have distorted readings when an object messes with their natural gravitational pull, leading to incorrect readings that can detract from a flight plan or operation. To avoid such issues with any instrument or system, aircraft are specifically designed with a number of non-magnetic fastener parts and materials.
