Barrel Nut Steel Cross Dowel Furniture Assemble Sheet Metal Nuts Customized

A barrel nut (also known as steel cross dowel or dowel nut) is a specialized nut and is commonly used in aerospace and ready-to-assemble furniture applications. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.
It is used to bolt thin sheet metal parts to larger, often billet or forged, parts. The barrel nut is a round slug, or formed sheet metal part with threads perpendicular to the length of the nut. The nut sits in a hole inside the forging and a standard bolt is threaded into the barrel nut from outside the sheet metal. They are preferred over a standard nut and bolt, because they do not require a flange to be machined or forged onto the receiving part, thus reducing weight.
Barrel nuts are also common in flat-pack furniture, where long bolts and barrel nuts are used to hold together T joints in chipboard sheets.

Turnbuckles are most commonly used in applications which require a great deal of tension; they can range in mass from about ten grams for thin cable used in a garden fence, to thousands of kilograms for structural elements in buildings and suspension bridges.

Galvanization, or galvanisation, (or galvanizing as it is most commonly called in that industry), is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent barrel nut rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc.
