Self-Clinching Nuts for Stainless Steel Sheets
Click image to enlarge
For a self-clinching nut to function correctly, the clinch nut must be harder than the assembly into which it will be installed. Finding the proper Self-clinching nut that can stand up to 18-8 stainless steel becomes challenging as the panels will harden during fabrication and become less ductile. Specifically designed hardened clinch nuts must be applied to these stainless steel sheets to maintain the integrity of your project.
