Once you understand the versatility of threaded inserts, you can start to see the possibilities. That’s why threaded inserts have become common for manufacturing, assembly, construction, and repairs. Here are just a few industries that rely on threaded inserts:

Aerospace and aviation: The first threaded inserts were used to secure deicers to airplane wings.

Automotive: Inserts are used throughout car bodies, including wellnuts that use rubber bodies to cut vibration and inserts to secure metal and plastic body parts.

Boat building: Threaded inserts are used in wooden and fiberglass boats to secure hull and trim. These inserts are made of brass, coated steel, and other materials that resist corrosion.

Furniture: We reviewed wooden furniture above. Inserts can be used to attach metal to wood, for plastic joins, and for other types of furniture manufacturing and repairs.

Appliances: Whether they’re securing a plastic cover or circuit board controls, you will find threaded inserts in many household appliances.
