FAQs About Steel Rivet Nuts
Main Sizes of Steel Rivet Nuts
There are two general standards for rivet nut specifications: 1. Metric 2. American.
- Metric Size : M3,M4,M5,M6,M8,M10,M12,M16

The Unique Advantages of Steel Rivet Nuts
- High Quality-Price Ratio：Steel rivnuts offer the strength and durability of stainless steel rivnuts at a significantly lower price. In high volume production, steel rivnuts cost less.
- Good environmental suitability: In general industrial and indoor environments, steel rivnuts with galvanized or phosphated finish provide adequate corrosion resistance. In addition to this, in medium to high temperature and high load scenarios, aluminum rivet nuts are prone to failure, while steel rivnuts are not.
- Wide range of applications: from automotive and construction to industrial equipment, the steel rivet nut meets most joining needs. Stronger than aluminum rivet nuts and more economical than stainless steel rivnuts, they are ideal for versatile applications.
Main Applications of Steel Rivet Nuts
Automotive industry: Rivet nuts are commonly used in the installation of body structure parts, chassis, seat brackets, fenders and interior parts because of their high strength and vibration resistance.
Construction and engineering: Rivet nuts have good mechanical properties and are commonly used in curtain walls, window and door frames, decorative metal panels and structural steel connections.
Home appliance industry: Because of their lightweight and thin-walled design, rivet nuts do not damage the appearance of the equipment, commonly used in refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and other home appliances shell and the assembly of internal components.
Machinery Manufacturing: Rivet nuts can provide high-strength connections without the need for welding, and are widely used in industrial equipment, machinery housings, shrouds and panels.
What Materials can I Use Steel Rivet Nuts On?
Metal materials: Steel rivnuts are particularly suitable for installation on all types of metal materials. It should be noted that contact between aluminum and steel may lead to galvanic corrosion, and surface treatment (e.g., zinc plating, coating) should be carried out.
Non-metallic materials: steel rivnuts are also suitable for certain non-metallic materials, such as plastics, composites, wood and so on. Composite materials have high strength but are easy to crack, steel rivnuts can effectively enhance the connection by reaming and riveting.
How Do I Choose the Right Steel Rivet Nut for My Project?
- Material thickness: Ensure that the rivet nut length is appropriate for the material thickness.
- Strength requirements: Select the appropriate thread size and material.
- Installation environment: Choose galvanized steel or stainless steel nuts for high humidity or corrosive environments.
- Appearance requirements: choose flat head, countersunk head or other head types as required.
How to Prevent Steel Rivet Nuts from Rusting?
It is possible for STEEL RIVNUTS to rust if they are not protected in any way. There are three main ways to prevent steel rivnuts from rusting:
- Surface treatment: galvanized, nickel-plated or chromium-plated surface
- Surface coating: Anti-corrosion coating (e.g. epoxy resin, polyurethane coating), zinc-aluminum coating.
- Reduction of galvanic corrosion: Addition of insulating gaskets, use of anti-corrosion sealants.
Steel, Aluminum, and Stainless Steel Rivet Nuts
Steel rivet nuts fall between aluminum and stainless steel rivnuts in terms of strength, cost and processability, offering cost-effective performance and wide applicability:
- Stronger than Aluminum Rivet Nuts for high loads and medium to high temperature environments.
- More economical than stainless steel rivnuts for general industry and large scale applications.
- Surface treated to meet moderate corrosion resistance requirements, ideal for most scenarios.
Common Problems When Installing Steel Rivet Nuts
| Problems | Reasons | Solutions |
| Loose or rotating rivet nut | Insufficient clamping force due to too large aperture or too thin material | Make sure the holes match, choose a longer rivet nut or use a hex type nut. |
| Damaged threads | Excessive force during bolt installation or poor thread quality | Use high strength bolts and check the quality of the threads. |
| Nut not fully deformed after installation | Rivet nut length does not match material thickness | Select a rivet nut of the appropriate length. |
| Material deformation or damage during installation | Excessive rivet nut clamping force, or insufficient material strength | Use flat shims to distribute pressure and reduce clamping force. |
- When using steel rivnuts, the substrate needs to have a certain thickness range to ensure that the riveted joint is strong. Typically steel rivet nuts are suitable for thin-walled materials 0.5-3.0mm thick.
- In addition, the appropriate riveting tool (manual, electric or pneumatic) needs to be selected according to the hardness of the base material.
