• Self Clinching Nuts are great when load-bearing threads are required in thin metal
• Stainless Steel is suitable where formability and cost are important considerations
• Resists loosening caused by vibration or repeated motion of the assembly
• Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads
• Ensure a lasting hold for any project

Self Clinching Nuts are a good solution whenever load-bearing threads are required in thin metal. These nuts can be inserted in a punched or drilled hole and with the application of pressure become a permanent part of the metal, ready for use. The clinching ring locks the displaced metal behind the tapered shank, giving high push out resistance. When the knurled platform is embedded in the sheet metal you get high torque out resistance. Installed properly, the Self Clinching Nut will resist loosening caused by vibration or repeated motion of the assembly.

Stainless steels are used for their corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, scaling resistance, and low-temperature toughness.  These properties account for their extremely wide use in practically every industry. Austenitic Stainless Steels are alloys of iron and carbon that contain between 16% and 30% Chromium, a maximum of 0.15% carbon, along with Nickel (or Manganese), and other alloying elements.  The chromium, which helps develop a passive surface oxide film, provides corrosion resistance in stainless steels.   Austenitic Stainless Steels are designated by a 3 digit SAE Stainless Steel Grade beginning with the number 3 (e.g. 304, 316).  Another common naming convention for Austenitic Stainless Steels are 18/8, 18/10, 18/0, etc. where the 18 refers to the % of Chromium and 8 to the % of Nickel contained in the material.    

A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.
