The main materials used for High Efficiency Square Weld Nuts are carbon steel and stainless steel, and they each have their own advantages. Carbon steel has excellent mechanical strength and moderate weight, excellent welding process performance, and relatively affordable material costs. It can meet the needs of various daily application scenarios and is a common choice in this field. Stainless steel ones resist rust really well, which is useful for outdoor use or places with corrosion.
Both types make sure the nuts’threads stay intact even when there’s a lot of clamping force or vibration. That’s why they work as reliable anchors in assembled structures.
Lots of electroplated finishes get put on High Efficiency Square Weld Nuts, mostly to keep them from rusting and for how they look. Common ones are zinc plating (clear, yellow, or black chromate), cadmium (not used as much now), or nickel plating. These coatings form a protective layer on the carbon steel nuts.
The weld projections themselves usually don’t get coated, though—this makes sure they conduct electricity well when welding. After installation, the finish protects the nut body and threads from rust and damage from the environment.

Q:How are the welding projections designed on your High Efficiency Square Weld Nuts, and do they support both spot and projection welding?
A:Our High Efficiency Square Weld Nuts have well-formed projections—like nubs or dimples—on the side that gets welded. These projections are made to focus heat well, so they melt firmly with the base metal when doing projection welding.
Standard square weld nuts are mainly designed for projection welding. That way, they make strong, reliable joints in automated production lines.
