Kunomehluko emibili phakathi kwamabhawodi nezikulufu:
1. Amabhawodi ngokuvamile adinga ukusetshenziswa kanye namantongomane. Izikulufu zingakhonjwa ngokuqondile ku-matrix yezintambo zangaphakathi;
2. Amabhawodi adinga ukufinywa futhi akhiywe ngebanga eliqinile, futhi amandla okukhiya wezikulufu mancane.

Ungakwazi futhi ukubheka i-groove kanye nentambo ekhanda.
Ekhanda kukhona ama-grooves anganqunywa njengezikulufu ezinkulu kanye ne-drill tail wire, njenge: i-groove yegama, i-cross groove, i-hexagon yangaphakathi, njll, ngaphandle kwe-hexagon yangaphandle;
Izikulufu ezinentambo yangaphandle yekhanda ezidinga ukufakwa ngokushisela, i-riveting nezinye izindlela zokuzifaka ezezikulufu;
Intambo yesikulufu ingeyamazinyo okuthinta, amazinyo okhuni, amazinyo okukhiya angunxantathu awezikulufu;
Eminye imicu yangaphandle ingeyamabhawudi.

Umehluko wokusebenza phakathi kwezikulufu namabhawudi

I-Bolt:
1. I-fastener enezingxenye ezimbili, ikhanda nesikulufu (isilinda esinentambo yangaphandle), esizomataniswa nenati ukuze kuhlanganiswe nokuxhuma izingxenye ezimbili ngezimbobo. Lolu hlobo lokuxhuma lubizwa ngokuthi uxhumano lwe-bolt. Uma i-nati ikhululwe kubhawodi, izingxenye ezimbili zingahlukaniswa, ngakho-ke uxhumano lwebhawodi lungokokuxhuma okukhiphekayo.
2. Isikulufu somshini sisetshenziswa kakhulu ekuxhumekeni kokubopha phakathi kwengxenye enembobo entanjeni yangaphakathi kanye nengxenye enembobo phakathi. Intambo yokubhoboza enkulu ayidingi ukufaniswa kwamantongomane (lolu hlobo lokuxhuma lubizwa ngokuthi i-screw connection futhi luwukuxhumana okukhiphekayo; lungaphinda lufakwe inadi ukuze liboshwe phakathi kwezingxenye ezimbili ngezimbobo. Isikulufu sokusetha sisetshenziswa kakhulu ukulungisa indawo ehlobene phakathi kwezingxenye ezimbili.
3. Izikulufo ezizishayayo: zifana nezikulufu zomshini, kodwa intambo esesikulukweni ingeyezikulufo ezikhethekile zokuzishaya. Isetshenziselwa ukubopha nokuxhuma amalungu amabili ensimbi amancane ukuze awenze abe yinto yonke. Imigodi kufanele yenziwe emalungwini kusenesikhathi. Ngenxa yokuqina okuphezulu kwezikulufu, zingagoqwa ngokuqondile emigodini yamalungu ukuze zakhe imicu yangaphakathi ehambisanayo emigodini yamalungu.
4. Izikulufu zokhuni: nazo zifana nezikulufu zomshini, kodwa intambo esesikulufini ingeyesikulufu sokhuni esikhethekile, esingagqunywa ngokuqondile esilungwini sokhuni (noma ingxenye) ukuze kuhlanganiswe ingxenye yensimbi (noma engeyona eyensimbi) enembobo ephumela elungwini lokhuni. Lolu hlobo lokuxhumana nalo luyasuswa.
