Expanded rivet round nut-Carbon steel are mostly made from high-strength carbon steel (usually grade 8.8 or higher), stainless steel like austenitic types (A2/304, A4/316), or aluminum alloys (such as 5056 or 7075).
Carbon steel ones are strong and cost-efficient. Stainless steel versions are really good at resisting corrosion, which is important in tough environments,think marine setups or chemical processing areas. Aluminum nuts strike a balance between strength and weight, and they naturally resist corrosion. That makes them a go-to for aerospace stuff or lightweight structures.
The material you pick directly affects how much tensile and shear strength the nut has. So it’s all about matching the material to what you need the nut to handle.
Expanded rivet round nut-Carbon steel are used a lot in industries that need strong blind fastening. Let me list some key uses:
In cars, trucks, and railway carriages, they hold panels, brackets, and parts in place. The same goes for interiors in airplanes. They’re important in putting together electrical boxes, control cabinets, and HVAC ducts, too.
When making machinery, people use them to mount parts on sheet metal frames or housings. For furniture,especially where there’s a lot of stress,and in general sheet metal work for construction, energy, and other fields, these nuts are great for creating reliable, permanent threaded connections. Pretty much any place that needs a strong, one-sided fastener uses them.

The weight a Expanded rivet round nut-Carbon steel can hold depends on a few things: its size (like M6 or M8), the material it’s made from, how thick the wall of the tube is, and what the tube’s made of.
For each type of nut, manufacturers have technical sheets that list exactly how much pull-out force it can handle and how much torque it needs. If you’re using it for a specific project, make sure to check these sheets or ask the supplier. They’ll give you the right numbers based on your tube’s specs,you don’t want to guess on this stuff.
