Steel rivet nuts are robust fastening components designed to provide a secure threaded anchor in various materials, particularly in applications requiring high tensile strength and durability. Constructed from high-quality carbon steel or alloy steel, these nuts offer exceptional load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial, automotive, and construction applications. Our company manufactures steel rivet nuts using advanced cold-forming and heat-treatment processes, ensuring precise thread profiles and structural integrity to withstand rigorous operational conditions.
The manufacturing process of our steel rivet nuts begins with selecting premium steel grades, such as 10B21 or 4140, to balance strength and ductility. Cold-forming technology shapes the nut body, creating a uniform internal thread and a tail section that deforms during installation to clamp the material securely. Following forming, the nuts undergo heat treatment—such as quenching and tempering—to achieve optimal hardness (typically HRC 30-38), enhancing their resistance to wear and stripping. Zinc plating or black oxide coatings are applied to protect against corrosion, with optional PTFE coatings available for reduced friction during bolt insertion. Each nut is tested for thread quality, tensile strength, and clamping force to ensure compliance with industry standards.
Steel rivet nuts are essential in heavy-duty applications where high loads and vibrations are prevalent. In commercial vehicle manufacturing, they secure chassis components, engine mounts, and trailer hitches, ensuring reliable performance under extreme conditions. In construction equipment, they fasten hydraulic systems, cab interiors, and structural frames, withstanding the rigors of daily operation. For industrial machinery, our steel rivet nuts provide a secure anchor for motors, pumps, and control panels, reducing the risk of loosening or failure. We offer steel rivet nuts in a wide range of sizes (from M6 to M20 and 1/4-20 to 3/4-16) and thread types to accommodate diverse material thicknesses and regional engineering specifications.
Customization is a cornerstone of our steel rivet nut offerings. Clients can request specialized materials (e.g., alloy steel for enhanced strength), unique tail designs (standard, countersunk, or extended), or integrated locking features for anti-loosening performance. We collaborate with engineers to develop rivet nuts for specific applications, such as fire-resistant coatings for automotive exhaust systems or anti-seize treatments for marine environments. For large-scale manufacturers and distributors, we provide custom branding and bulk packaging solutions, while our wholesale pricing model ensures cost efficiency for high-volume orders. Our products comply with international standards like ISO 14580 and ASTM F683, guaranteeing compatibility and reliability in global supply chains.
