How custom components can help enhance durability in automotive assemblies while helping achieve bigger goals like emission standards for automakers In 2024, the CAFE standards for passenger cars stand at 54.5 MPG and are set to increase at 2% year over year for model year 2027 through 2031. Those kinds
See how the use of exotic materials, plastics and high-stress parts made threaded inserts a vital partner in the Appliance Industry As we move further into the 2020s, every household appliance seems to get more and more complicated. However, one thing remains the same: the need for seemingly simple,
In a world filled with next-generation materials, is there still room for the threaded insert? Even in non-electrified vehicles, weight has grown as safety protocols demand more safety systems. According to NADA, the average weight of a new vehicle sold in the US in 2022 was 4,329 pounds – 1,000
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
Over the past decade, plastics and forms of nylon are quickly replacing their ferrous counterparts as the material of choice under the hood of cars and trucks all over the world. How can this be? Conventional wisdom would tell you that the high temperature and high stress environment of an
