Inserts for sheet metal fasteners are very popular and widely used in the metal stamping industry because they provide strong internal threads for component attachment or fabrication assembly. These inserts provide high torque resistance, ideal for both thicker and thinner sheet metals and suitable for use in punched or drilled holes. They can be described as either clinching or riveting types according to their installation methods.
Thicker and softer metals are used for clinching type fasteners while thinner and harder metals are used for riveting type fasteners.
