Реферат: A deformable fastening system that has a deformable member and a mating member that seal together at a reduced clamp load from a conventional fastening system.. The deformable member reduces the axial force that is required to install a fastener. The system can be used in connection with the installation of various fasteners with one or more steps under the head of the bolt, or a deformable washer with at least one step or at least one taper. The stepped configuration provides a reduced contact area where the stepped portion contacts the mating member which translates into reduced clamp force range for a given torque. Thus, less axial force is needed to properly install the fastener. Alternatively, a non-deformable bolt with a clinch feature and a stepped underhead forms a seal with deformed staking material when the bolt is staked in the staking material.
