Pierce nut wires from Howire consist of work-hardened steel profiles with custom-made grooves used for attaching nuts to sheet metal during metal stamping. The Fastener manufacturers utilize our continuous coils of pre-shaped wires to produce pierce nuts. Pierce nuts become integral fastening points to join metal panels together or for mounting subsequent parts to the panels.
Pierce nuts offer a durable and reliable fastening method for mass-produced parts and products, resisting torque, shear loads, vibration and tension. Howire can provide continuous coils of pre-shaped pierce nut profiles up to 1metric tons.
Steel Pierce Nut Wire Applications
Howire’s steel pierce nut wire is the core component in manufacturing pierce nuts — also called self-piercing nuts or self-clinching nuts. These nuts install into sheet metal to form a threaded hole used for various fastening applications across a comprehensive industry range.
Pierce nuts are among the most popular fasteners for sheet metal because they are self-piercing, meaning they do not need a pilot or pre-punched hole for installation. Also, since their installation eliminates the fumes and sparks associated with weld-nut assembly, pierce nuts are an eco-friendly fastening option.
Several examples of applications for pierce nuts include:
Automotive body panels. Interior components, including seating, door panels.
