Explanation:

Basically, when a helical groove is cut or generated over a cylindrical or conical section, threads are formed. 

Fasteners: A mechanical fastener is a device that is used to mechanically join (or fasten) two or more objects together.

Some Fasteners are:

  • Pins
  • Rivets
  • Nails
  • Concrete Anchors

Threaded Fasteners: The fasteners in which threads are designed on either the outer or inner surfaces.

Some threaded Fasteners are:

  • Bolts: They are basically threaded fasteners normally used with nuts. 
  • Screws: They engage either with a preformed or self-made internal thread. 
  • Stud: A metal rod or shaft with threads on both sides is called a stud.

Important Points

The nails come under fasteners but not under threaded Fasteners.
