Weld Nuts: Secure and Versatile Fasteners for Various Applications
April 25, 2023
A weld nut is a specialized type of nut specifically designed to be welded onto another metallic object, offering a secure, permanent, and high-strength threaded connection. These nuts are available in various sizes, shapes, and configurations, making them ideal for numerous applications across different industries. In this blog post, we'll explore what weld nuts are, their advantages, and dive into three distinct use cases that demonstrate their versatility and reliability.
What is Spot Welding
Spot welding is a common resistance technique to weld two or more metal sheets. Spot welding is primarily achieved by applying pressure and electric current to the spot-weld area. The metal’s internal resistance to the electric current generates the required heat. Spot welding gets its namesake due to the tiny dot the weld creates, which looks like a spot. Weld nuts are often used in tandem within the spot welding process to provide high-strength fastening capabilities in restricted or limited space areas.
Rivet Nut Uses and Installation
