M4 M6 M8 Wire Thread Insert in Stainless Steel Alloy for Automotive Mechanical Industrial Use
Product Description:
A wire thread insert (also known as a helical thread insert or coil insert) is a mechanical component used to repair or reinforce damaged or worn threaded holes. It is typically made from high-strength stainless steel wire and features a coiled design that restores or strengthens the original threads, ensuring that bolts, screws, or other fasteners can be securely fastened. Well-known brands of these inserts include Heli-Coil and Time-Sert.
Key Functions:
1. Thread Repair: When a threaded hole becomes stripped or damaged, a wire thread insert can be inserted to recreate the original threads, allowing the use of standard fasteners without the need to replace the entire part.
2. Strengthening Threads: In softer materials, such as aluminum or plastics, a wire thread insert can provide additional support to the threads, improving their load-bearing capacity.
3. Preventing Thread Damage: In high-stress applications, wire inserts help distribute loads more evenly, reducing the likelihood of thread stripping or loosening.
4. Corrosion Resistance: Inserts made from corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or other alloys offer increased protection against rust and wear, especially in harsh environments.
Applications:
• Aerospace: Used extensively in the repair and assembly of aircraft and spacecraft components, where high precision and strength are required.
• Automotive: Common in engine blocks, chassis, and transmission systems to repair or reinforce damaged threads in soft metals like aluminum.
• Manufacturing: Used in heavy machinery and equipment to restore or enhance threaded connections, particularly during repair and maintenance.
• Electronics: Used in high-precision electronics to ensure reliable and secure fastening in devices with small or delicate components.
In summary, wire thread inserts are widely used wherever thread repair or reinforcement is needed, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution to maintain the integrity of threaded connections in various industries.
Stainless Steel:
1, the basic knowledge of stainless steel
Stainless steel is an alloy material with corrosion resistance, and its main components are an alloy of elements such as iron, chromium and nickel. These elements can effectively resist oxidation and corrosion, so that stainless steel has a high degree of durability and aesthetics.
2, stainless steel maintenance methods
Cleaning
Keeping stainless steel products clean is an important part of their maintenance. You can use mild detergents and soft cloth for cleaning, avoid the use of detergents containing acidic and alkaline components, so as not to damage the surface of stainless steel. When removing dirt, you should try to avoid using irritating cleaning tools to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface. After cleaning, rinse with water and dry with a clean soft cloth.
3, the use of stain remover
For some stubborn dirt, you can use special stainless steel stain remover for cleaning. But before using it, you should carefully read and follow the instructions in the product manual. In addition, stainless steel products on the dirt can be cleaned with alcohol or vinegar, these common cleaners on stainless steel has a certain decontamination effect.

201, 304, 316 are austenitic stainless steel, according to the performance of the non-magnetic, some of the performance of the weak magnetic because of the smelting of the composition of the segregation or improper heat treatment leads to the austenite in a small amount of martensite or ferrite. Austenitic stainless steel corrosion resistance comes from the formation of chromium oxide protective layer on the metal surface. When the material temperature is heated to 450 degrees -900 degrees, the structure changes, will form chromium carbide along the edge of the crystal and can not form a protective layer of chromium oxide, thus reducing the corrosion resistance, this is also known as ‘intergranular corrosion’. As a result, there are 304L and 316L, the two due to the low carbon content also reduces the intergranular corrosion. In particular, the higher susceptibility to intergranular corrosion does not mean that non-low carbon content is more susceptible to corrosion, in a highly chlorinated environment, this susceptibility is also higher.
304 stainless steel
304 is a general-purpose stainless steel that is widely used to make equipment and machine parts that require good all-round performance (corrosion resistance and formability). In order to maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 18% chromium, more than 8% nickel content. 304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced according to the American ASTM standard.
A2 stainless steel and A4 stainless steel, A2 is a class of 304 stainless steel, A4 is a class of 316 stainless steel, the main difference between the two is here, some of the fastener industry will be 302HQ and 304 referred to as: A2, 316 and 316L (C content of carbon C is less than 03% of the stainless steel, you can increase the ‘L’ logo) called A4.
What is the difference between a270 and a470 stainless steel bolts Nuts are usually used in conjunction with bolts. Hexagonal nuts are more widely used.C-grade hexagonal nuts are used in steel structures, machinery and equipment with rough surfaces and low requirements for precision.A-grade and B-grade hexagonal nuts are mainly used in machinery and equipment with smooth surfaces and high requirements for precision.
