Wire thread inserts
Wire inserts, also known as wire thread inserts, thread inserts, thread bushings, thread protectors, or thread sleeves, are inserts developed to protect threaded holes in non-ferrous metals. They are made of cold-rolled stainless steel wire into a spiral, concentric coil of threads with a diamond-shaped cross-section, similar to a coil spring. Wire inserts can improve thread fatigue strength, reduce wear and corrosion resistance, and thus extend the life of the threaded hole.
Applications of Wire Thread Inserts
1. Enhance connection strength and improve connection conditions.
2. Wear resistance.
3. Increase the load-bearing surface.
4. Prevent loosening.
5. Facilitate maintenance.
Material of Wire Thread Inserts
1. Stainless steel material (304/316L stainless steel, Nitronic 60 stainless steel)
2. High temperature alloys (Inconel X750, Nimonic90)
3. Copper alloy and phosphor bronze
