Introduction To Welding Nuts

A weld nut is a type of fastener used in metalworking applications to provide a threaded connection in materials where it may be difficult or impractical to create threads directly. Weld nuts are designed to be welded onto a metal surface, allowing a threaded connection to be established.

Here’s how to weld nuts work and are typically used:

Design: Weld nuts have a specialized design that includes a flat base with a raised, threaded projection (usually a hexagonal shape) on top. This projection provides the threaded portion where a bolt or screw can be inserted.

Welding: The flat base of the weld nut is placed against the metal surface where the threaded connection is desired. It is then welded in place using various welding techniques such as arc welding, resistance welding, or other methods suitable for the specific application.

Threaded Connection: Once the weld nut is securely welded to the metal surface, it provides a threaded hole where a bolt or screw can be threaded. This allows for a secure and reliable fastening connection.

Weld nuts are commonly used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, construction, and metal fabrication. They are particularly useful in situations where access to the back side of the material is limited, making it difficult to install traditional nuts and bolts.
