Self clinching nuts is a fastener used to fix thin plates, mainly composed of rivets, rivet nuts and washers. In general, the service life of rivet nuts will be affected by many factors, such as nut material, use environment, frequency of use, load, etc., so it is difficult to give an accurate life limit.
However, it is generally believed that the service life of the rivet nut should not be too short, and it can usually be used for many years. Here are some factors that can affect the life of a rivet nut:
Nut material: The material of the rivet nut determines its corrosion resistance and wear resistance. If the material is not good, it may cause the nut to be easily damaged and reduce the service life.
Use environment: If the rivet nuts or flare-in nuts are installed in a humid, high temperature or corrosive environment, their service life may be shortened.
Load: If the rivet nut is subjected to a large load for a long time, it may also cause its life to be shortened.
Installation method: If the installation is not correct, such as the installation of the rivet nut is uneven and not firm, it may also affect its service life.
In addition to the above factors, the service life of the rivet nut is also related to the frequency of use. If the frequency of use is high, the rivet nut may need to be inspected and replaced more frequently. It is generally recommended to check the rivet nut regularly, and replace it in time if any damage or corrosion is found.<
