Set screws are commonly made from iron, which we know as carbon steel, or wrought, or cut, and their manufacturing and production result in a natural color. To prevent rust, electroplating is required. Stainless steel set screws do not require electroplating. If made of iron, the color of the electroplating is usually determined by the customer, based on their color preference. Salt spray resistance also has certain requirements. Some electroplated colors have higher salt spray resistance, while others may develop rust within a few hours. Another factor to consider is whether the customer needs the product for export. Export usually demands environmental friendliness, as do some domestic customers, but it is not a common requirement.

The production process for rivet nuts is generally similar to that of other screws. The only difference is that screws are formed by a screw machine, while rivet nuts are formed by a nut machine. Let's share the steps involved in the production process of rivet nuts?

Firstly, we must ensure what materials the rivet nuts are made of, so we can use the appropriate materials for production. Only by knowing the materials can we purchase the screws.

2. Determine the specifications and types of the press-fitted nuts, and check their size and length. Only then can you truly ascertain how much screw thread is needed.

Once the material, texture, size, and type have been determined, we need to check if it's a commonly used press-fitted nut. If so, there's definitely a corresponding mold in the factory. If not, and it's a non-standard item, we'll have to order a mold.

4. After all production is ready, the nuts must be pounded to shape the rivet nuts, which is to say, the appearance.

After the forging, use a machine to cut the threads for the socket set screw.

6. After the threaded teeth are attacked, they are then electroplated. Stainless steel press-fitted nuts do not require electroplating; they only need to be cleaned. For other colors, you must take them to a professional electroplating manufacturer for electroplating treatment.
