A fastening system for securing a mounting tool configured to retain a component that is to undergo a high-temperature process. The mounting tool has a first portion having a first tab with a first slot and a second portion having a second tab with a second slot. The fastening system includes an outer clip including outer clip arms and a central portion. The outer clip arms have a gap therebetween. The central portion protrudes into the gap. The fastening system includes an inner clip including inner clip arms. The inner clip is pushed into the gap such that each inner clip arm contacts and pushes one outer clip arm towards the first tab and the second tab. When the fastening system is inserted into the first slot and the second slot, the fastening system limits relative movement between the first tab and the second tab.
A method for fastening a mounting device configured to retain a component for a high-temperature process, the mounting device including a first part having a first tab and a second part having a second tab, the first tab having a first slot and the second tab having a second slot, the method comprising:
A method for fastening a device including a first tab with a first slot and a second tab with a second slot such that relative movement of the first tab with respect to the second tab is precluded, the method comprising:
A method for fastening a mounting device configured to retain an aerospace component for a high-temperature process such that relative movement of a first tab of the mounting device relative to a second tab of the mounting device is precluded, the method comprising:
