Description
M2.5-0.45 threaded inserts are an insert made of coiled wire. The helically formed coils of diamond-shaped stainless steel or phosphor bronze wire screw into a threaded hole to form a mating internal thread for a screw or stud. These inserts provide a convenient means of repairing stripped-out threads and are also used to provide stronger threads in soft materials such as aluminum, zinc dies castings, wood, magnesium, etc. than can be obtained by direct tapping of the base metal involved. Another common generic name is screw thread insert (STI), although many users persist in calling them all by a prominent brand name, the registered trademark Heli-Coil. Applications include engine cylinder head repair after unintentional over-torquing or cross-threading of spark plugs strips the thread of the socket. Kits with matched tap and coil exist for this. The straight radial piece in the photo is the driver tang which is used as a key to grip with pliers for driving the coil into place and is discarded after installation. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.
Stainless steel M2.5-0.45 threaded inserts do not readily corrode,
rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. However, it is not
fully stain-proof in low-oxygen, high salinity, or poor
air-circulation environments. 304 stainless steel is the most
common form of stainless steel used around the world, largely due
to its excellent corrosion resistance and value. It contains
between 16 and 24 percent chromium and up to 35 percent nickel—as
well as small amounts of carbon and manganese.
The most common form of 304 stainless steel is 18-8, or 18/8,
stainless steel, which contains 18 percent chromium and 8 percent
nickel.
304 can withstand corrosion from most oxidizing acids. That
durability makes 304 easy to sanitize, and therefore ideal for
kitchen and food applications. It is also common in buildings,
décor, and site furnishings.
304 stainless steel does have one weakness—it is susceptible to
corrosion from chloride solutions, or from saline environments like
the coast. Chloride ions can create localized areas of corrosion,
called “pitting,” which can spread beneath protective chromium
barriers to compromise internal structures. Solutions with as
little as 25 ppm of sodium chloride can begin to have a corrosive
effect.
