Threaded inserts are fasteners that provide secure and reusable threaded holes for screws and bolts when the base material is not strong enough to ensure long-lasting durability. They are commonly used in softer materials such as soft metals, alloys, plastics, composites, and woods where native threads can break or deform when mated screws and bolts are over-tightened.
Threaded inserts are typically made from brass, stainless steel and aluminum. Materials are chosen by corrosion resistance, heat resistance, vibration resistance, thermal expansion compatibility, and other factors, depending on their compatibility with the base material.

Boosting precision while reducing production costs: The role of threaded inserts in aerospace manufacturing In the aerospace industry, precision, durability, and efficiency are critical in every aspect of design and assembly. Threaded inserts play a significant role in meeting these demands by helping streamline the assembly process while ensuring structural
Every ounce counts in the aerospace industry. Meanwhile, strength is also at a premium because commercial aircraft like the Boeing 737 have to consistently fly upwards of 500 miles an hour while military aircraft like the F-35A Lightning II typically fly faster than two times the speed of most commercial
