Carbon Steel Hexagon Rivet Nut Column

Carbon steel hexagon rivet nut column get their main mechanical traits from medium-carbon steel, often similar to ISO 898 Class 8 or SAE J429 Grade 5. This steel has high pulling strength (usually over 800 MPa) and good yield strength, so it can handle strong clamping forces, vibration, and moving loads without breaking.

While it isn’t as rust-resistant as stainless steel, the material gives the threads solid hardness and durability. The toughness of carbon steel makes sure the column bends the way it should when you install it,no cracking,so it forms a secure mechanical lock.

Application

The carbon steel hexagon rivet nut column is widely used in car manufacturing to attach panels, brackets, and trim parts to vehicle bodies. It’s a go-to in electronics casings, industrial machine frames, and sheet metal work,anywhere you need strong, reliable threads in thin metal. You’ll also find it in rail projects, aerospace sub-assemblies (where they need to balance weight and strength), HVAC ducting, and general metalworking.

It works great for bolting into materials like aluminum, plastic composites, or thin steel. If you tried threading directly into those materials, it’d be weak or just not work. This rivet nut column spreads the load out, which makes the connection way more solid.

How to install?

To install the carbon steel hexagon rivet nut column, you use a rivet nut tool. The hexagonal body stops it from spinning when you put it into a pre-drilled hole. The tool pulls on the mandrel head, making the sleeve column bend against the back of the workpiece. That creates a solid, permanent threaded anchor point. Matching the hole size to the rivet nut column’s diameter is super important here,get that wrong and it won’t work right.
