Tee Nut Inserts Metric Zinc Plated Steel Type Woodworking Assembly

The tee nut inserts are often used in furniture to provide an internally threaded surface for fasteners, tee nuts are inserted into materials like wood, composites, and particleboard. They feature a head style that digs into the surface to ensure retention and leave the nut flush with the surface. Ever Hardware provides custom-made tee nut inserts and customizable packaging.

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 tee nut inserts from rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc. Galvanizing protects in three ways:
It forms a coating of zinc which, when intact, prevents corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel or iron.
The zinc serves as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating is scratched, the exposed steel will still be protected by the remaining zinc.
The zinc protects its base metal by corroding before iron. For better results, the application of chromates over zinc is also seen as an industrial trend.
