What name is given to the sloping sides of a thread that connect the crest and root?

Flanks
Grooves
Slots
Treads

The correct answer is: Flanks

The sloping sides of a thread that connect the crest, which is the top portion, and the root, which is the bottom, are referred to as flanks. The flanks are critical in determining how the thread engages with a corresponding thread on a nut or a similar component. They contribute to the overall profile and functionality of the thread, allowing for secure connections and effective load distribution. Understanding the role of flanks is essential for millwrights as it impacts the strength and performance of threaded fasteners in various applications.
