This particular nut is specifically designed for external welding applications. It's typically crafted from weldable materials, featuring a thicker build ideal for welding purposes. Welding involves merging two separate components into a unified structure by employing high temperatures to melt the metal, fusing them together. Upon cooling, alloy integration occurs, enhancing molecular bonding, resulting in a strength generally surpassing that of the original material. Key welding parameters are primarily determined by the size of the weld bead, necessitating adjustments until achieving the desired fusion size and eliminating any imperfections. However, the quality of the welding also hinges significantly on pre-weld preparations such as thorough cleaning to remove oil stains and ensuring proper pre-weld treatment for optimal results.
Weld nuts are mainly used in the automotive and machinery industries.
