FAQ
Material, standards, surface treatment and installation points for this model; the data comes from the specification table on this page and from the national standards cited in the answers.
Q1What material does the wire thread insert use? What strength level does it reach?
Specified in the specification table on this page: material SUS304 / SUS316 stainless steel or phosphor bronze; INCONEL nickel-based alloy optional for high-temperature service. A material certificate and mechanical property test report can be provided with the goods; batch acceptance is carried out in accordance with the above specifications.
Q2Which surface treatments are available for the wire thread insert? How do I choose?
Surface treatment specified in the specification table on this page: lubricated, tin-plated, zinc-plated, silver-plated (for high-temperature requirements). Different coatings differ in appearance, corrosion resistance and cost; select according to the service environment and the order agreement.
Q3In which applications is the wire thread insert used?
Typical applications listed in the product description on this page: screwed into the threaded holes of low-strength base materials such as aluminium; zinc alloys, forming a high-strength, wear-resistant internal thread.
Q4What are the specifications and dimensions of the wire thread insert?
Specified in the specification table on this page: thread range M2 – M39; length options 1D / 1.5D / 2D / 2.5D / 3D, customizable on demand. Dimensions and tolerances follow the customer drawing / corporate standard; a dimensional inspection report can be provided with the goods.
Q5Is the wire thread insert a tangless or a tanged type?
The tailless type requires no tang breaking after installation and is suitable for through holes and automated installation; the tailed type (with installation tang) requires breaking off the tang after being screwed in. After installation, both form a standard internal thread in the base material with threads per GB/T 196 and GB/T 197. (Applies to this model: “wire thread insert”.)
