Fastening – is the act or process by which single or multiple components are held, joined, coupled, assembled, or otherwise maintained in equilibrium.

Bolt – is a headed and externally threaded mechanical device designed for insertion through holes in assembled parts to mate with a nut and is normally intended to be tightened or released by turning that nut.
