Aluminum Threaded Insert Nut

Tuoyuan Metal aluminum threaded insert nuts are precision CNC machined from solid AL6061 aluminum alloy, featuring external knurling structure for firm embedding into plastic shells after injection molding. The built-in internal female thread or external male thread provides stable screw connection, solving the problem of loose threads on pure plastic parts.

Compared with brass inserts, AL6061 aluminum threaded insert nut owns lighter weight, better oxidation resistance and lower cost, ideal for lightweight electronic, photographic, audio and medical plastic components. All products support fully customized dimension, thread specification and surface finish.

Core Material Advantage

1. It has low density, ultra-lightweight, effectively reduce overall product weight.

2. AL6061 parts have excellent anti-rust and corrosion resistance, no oxidation under normal indoor/outdoor environment

3. Aluminum threaded insert nut is easy to process.

4. Aluminum threaded insert have High structural stability, strong combination force with plastic after hot melt embedding

5. It is non-magnetic, suitable for precision electronic equipment assembly

FAQ

Q1: Can AL6061 aluminum insert replace brass insert?

A1: Yes, AL6061 aluminum threaded insert nut is lighter and cheaper, suitable for products with weight control demand; brass has higher hardness for heavy-load assembly, we supply both materials for option.

Q2: Is sample free?

A2: Small quantity standard samples are free, buyer only bear the courier freight cost. Custom samples will charge small mold fee, refundable when bulk order reach certain quantity.

Q3: What is the embedding way of this knurled insert?

A3: 1. Pre-place insert into injection mold before plastic injection.

2. Hot melt heating press into finished plastic hole.

Q4: What is the purpose of the knurled outer edge?

A4: The textured, anti-slip knurling around the perimeter provides optimal grip, allowing for quick and secure hand-tightening or removal without requiring extra tools.

Q5: Are these thread adapters compatible with both metric and imperial hardware?

A5: Yes. Male-to-female or uniform metric/imperial conversions (e.g., M6 male to 1/4"-20 female) can be custom produced to bridge different equipment standards.
