What thicknesses of materials are suitable for rivet nuts?

As an indispensable fastening solution in thin plate structures, the thickness range of the applicable materials for rivet nuts is the core factor affecting installation quality and structural stability. Hongrui Hardware, with a deep understanding of thin plate connection requirements, provides a series of rivet nuts covering a thickness range of 0.5 to 6 millimeters, widely serving multiple industries such as electronics and electrical, communication equipment, household appliances, and new energy assembly. Its products can achieve riveting and secure locking at different plate thicknesses, fully meeting the multiple demands of modern manufacturing for lightweight, high-strength, and fast assembly.

Materials of different thicknesses exhibit different stress distributions and structural responses during riveting. For ultra-thin materials below 0.5 millimeters, it is usually recommended to use precision rivet nuts with short threads and small flanges to avoid deformation, cracking, or riveting failure of the plate. Hongrui Hardware has developed a low deformation riveting series for ultra-thin metal materials, which adopts a smoother pressing structure design to ensure a smooth installation process, precise nut alignment, and no damage to the substrate. For materials with medium thickness (1.0-3.0mm), standard rivet nuts can provide better installation convenience and tensile performance. For plates with a thickness of 3.0 millimeters or more, long threads and reinforced structures are used to enhance their load-bearing capacity and shear strength.

The type of material also affects the riveting performance. For example, stainless steel plates have high hardness and require significant riveting force, and need to be matched with nut structures of the same material or higher strength; Aluminum alloy sheets have good ductility, but are sensitive to riveting overload and require control of equipment parameters. Hongrui Hardware has accumulated rich thickness matching data through extensive assembly testing and mechanical simulation, providing customers with material nut process integrated system selection recommendations to ensure long-term stable operation of the connection structure.

In order to improve overall assembly efficiency, Hongrui Hardware also provides matching riveting equipment and customized molds to adapt to different thickness plates and batch process requirements. Its products have passed multiple domestic and international mechanical strength tests and application verifications, and are widely used in various complex sheet thickness structures. Hongrui Hardware always adheres to the principle of "precision achieves stability", providing customers with more professional and predictable riveting solutions, and helping the industry chain achieve standardization and quality upgrading.
