Description

A weld nut is a metal fastener that is welded to a metallic surface to create a strong connection. They are used in many industries, including construction, aerospace, and automotive. How they work Weld nuts are made of metal, usually stainless steel or low-carbon steel. They are designed to be welded to another metallic surface. The welding process creates a strong bond between the nut and the base material. Weld nuts can be used to replace sheet metal screws in thin sheet metal applications. Benefits Weld nuts can withstand high temperatures, vibrations, and stress. They can be used in limited or restricted space areas. They can be a solution for difficult-to-access applications. Types Hex weld nuts: Thicker design makes them ideal for heavy duty applications. Dual hole or twin piloted nuts: Designed for use when there is a need for tapped holes close together. Surface treatments Zinc plating for basic protection, Zinc nickel plating for higher corrosion resistance, Dacromet for environmentally friendly coating, Polished for enhanced appearance, and Electrophoresis for uniform durability.
