A stainless steel rivet nut is a durable fastener designed to create a robust, threaded insert in materials that are too thin or fragile for direct threading. Combining the mechanical benefits of a rivet nut with the corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel, this fastener is ideal for demanding environments.
**Material Composition:**
Crafted from stainless steel alloys, primarily grades 304 (A2) and 316 (A4), these rivet nuts offer exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Grade 316 includes molybdenum, enhancing performance in saline or chemical-exposed settings, such as marine or industrial applications.
**Design Features:**
- **Threaded Interior:** Provides a secure, reusable threaded hole compatible with metric or imperial bolts.
- **Deformable Exterior:** Features a smooth body that, when installed, expands to grip the host material tightly.
- **Head Styles:** Available in various configurations (e.g., countersunk, hexagonal, or round head) to suit different surface finish requirements.
**Installation Process:**
1. **Pre-Drilled Hole:** A hole is drilled into the material matching the rivet nut's diameter.
2. **Tool Application:** A specialized rivet nut tool inserts the fastener and pulls a mandrel integrated into the rivet nut.
3. **Deformation:** As the mandrel is pulled, the rivet nut compresses, flaring outward to clamp the material. The mandrel snaps at a predetermined break point, leaving a clean installation.
**Applications:**
Widely used in industries requiring corrosion resistance and strength:
- **Automotive/Marine:** For components exposed to moisture or chemicals.
- **Aerospace/Construction:** Where lightweight materials need reinforced threads.
- **Medical/Appliances:** Prioritizing hygiene and durability.
**Advantages:**
- **Corrosion Resistance:** Suitable for harsh environments, reducing maintenance.
- **High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:** Ideal for thin materials like sheet metal or plastics.
- **Temperature Tolerance:** Withstands higher temperatures compared to polymer alternatives.
**Considerations:**
- **Galvanic Corrosion:** Avoid pairing with dissimilar metals without protective measures.
- **Installation Force:** Stainless steel's hardness may require more robust tools for installation.
**Variants:**
Available in multiple sizes, thread types, and finishes (e.g., passivated) to enhance performance. Once installed, the rivet nut provides a permanent, reliable threaded solution, though the insert can be reused for bolt adjustments.
Stainless steel rivet nuts are a versatile, long-lasting solution for applications demanding both structural integrity and environmental resilience.
