Frangible nut by Wikipedia Bot 0
A frangible nut is a type of fastener designed to break or shatter upon impact or when subjected to a specific force. This design is often used in applications where it is desirable to eliminate the risk of a fastener becoming a projectile or causing damage when it fails. Frangible nuts can be particularly useful in military and aerospace applications, as well as in various safety-critical industries. The primary purpose of a frangible nut is to ensure safety by preventing hazardous materials or components from becoming dangerous debris.
