Re: Need Help With Sheet Metal Designing
JTN,
The function of the part you are needing to attach is the driving force of the attachment method in the design. Let's list some methods to join sheet metal.
Permanent joins
- Spot welding
- Mig
- Tig
- Braze
- Epoxy
Semi permanent
- Pop rivet
- Solid rivet
- Tog-L-Loc
- High bond adhesive tape
Temporary/Removable Joins
- nut and screw
- Screw and tap/thread
- pem nuts
- Pem studs
- self tapping screws
- drilling screws
- Plastic connector
- 1/4 turn fasteners
- Riv-nut
Inter locking joins to position or fixture and increase strength, rigidity
- mixture of tab and notch and hardware
- dowel pins and holes
- interlocking puzzle piece joint
- Dual Lock
What do you think of our list? Did I miss anything?
