What are the top 10 advantages of using rivet nuts?

No need to tap internal threads: Rivet nuts can be directly riveted into prefabricated holes in thin plates without pre-tapping internal threads, avoiding the problem of thread slippage caused by insufficient thickness of thin plates. It is especially suitable for the connection of plates and pipes with a thickness of 0.5mm-6mm.Welding-free design: The cold riveting process is adopted, and no high temperature is generated throughout the process, which avoids the thermal deformation and heat-affected zone (HAZ) problems caused by welding, as well as the process of cleaning welding slag after welding. It is especially suitable for low-melting-point metal thin plates such as aluminum alloy and stainless steel.High riveting firmness: When riveting, the end of the rivet nut bulges outward to form an annular boss, which tightly clamps the thin plate in the middle, providing uniform clamping force, and the tensile strength can reach more than 2000MPa, far exceeding the strength of the thin plate itself.Excellent anti-loosening performance: The hexagonal rivet nut is matched with the prefabricated hexagonal hole, or the friction is increased by knurling, which effectively prevents vibration loosening and ensures the reliability of the connection.High installation efficiency: single riveting can be achieved using pneumatic or manual riveting guns, which is easy to operate and has a production efficiency 3-5 times higher than traditional welding or tapping processes.Strong material compatibility: A variety of materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, etc. are available to adapt to different corrosive environments (such as marine and chemical industries), and steel rivet nuts are used in the connection of aluminum alloy components, eliminating the cumbersome internal pre-embedded steel plates.Wide spatial adaptability: Suitable for narrow spaces or complex structural connections, such as automobile body covers, aircraft skins, etc., and can be used even if there is no operating space on the back of the substrate.Significant cost-effectiveness: Reduce the number of employees and labor costs; reduce electricity consumption and factory land; rivet nuts can be used multiple times, only the rivets need to be replaced, and the long-term use of economic benefits is outstanding.Strong corrosion resistance: Rivet nuts made of materials such as stainless steel can maintain stable performance and extend service life in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity and chemical corrosion.Beautiful and neat appearance: After the rivet nut is installed, the connection part is flat, without welding marks or tapping burrs, which improves the overall beauty and professionalism of the product.
