Aligning Weld Nuts
Threads float inside the retainer so you can install a bolt at a slight angle to align with off-center parts. Weld these nuts to metal surfaces for a strong, permanent hold. They stand up to high torque and pulling force better than rivet nuts.
For the strongest threads, choose steel nuts. Nuts with a steel retainer should be welded to uncoated steel surfaces. Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments. Nuts with an aluminum retainer should be welded to aluminum surfaces.
For the most corrosion resistance, choose stainless steel nuts. They have a stainless steel retainer, so they should be welded to stainless steel surfaces.
