The recommendation for installing stainless steel studs in stainless panels
At one time the only option for a designer when they wanted to install stainless steel studs in stainless panels was to utilize stainless steel weld studs. However the cosmetic result was often not desirable. Due to the higher hardness of the cold worked stainless steel panels, Captive Fastener now provides a stainless steel clinch stud made with heat treated and passivated type 400 series stainless steel. The result is a fastener that is hardened and is able to be installed into panels with a maximum hardness of up to HRB 92. This product is our CHTS and HCHTS series studs made specifically to be installed into stainless steel panels. The CHTS series provides the head of the fastener that is flush with the panel into which it is installed. This provides a strong load bearing thread that allows for installation of the mating fastener without the need to access both sides of the panel. The HCHTS series is available when greater torque out and pull through resistance is required in the design. The head of the HCHTS series fastener is not flush with the panel when properly installed in the stainless steel panel.
