1. Key locking threaded inserts are made from carbon steel, while stainless steel key locking threaded inserts are made from stainless steel, which offers better corrosion resistance. The choice between them depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as the environmental conditions and the need for corrosion resistance.
2. Self Tapping Threaded Inserts have threads on the outer surface, allowing them to be screwed into a pre-drilled hole, cutting their own threads as they go.
3. Blind rivet nut, also known as a rivet nut or rivnut, is a type of nut with riveting functionality. Its construction includes thread sections, deformation sections, and flange sections. The rivet nut can be securely installed on an object, and then components can be assembled to the object using screws, making it an affordable and easy-to-install hardware fastener. Rivet nuts come with countersunk heads, serrations, through holes, and blind holes (waterproof type).
4. Self-clinching fasteners are specialized hardware components designed for joining or attaching two or more pieces of sheet metal.
Self-clinching fasteners provide a permanent and strong connection without the need for welding or external hardware. Self-clinching fasteners are commonly used in various industries, including electronics, automotive, aerospace, and sheet metal fabrication.
