<p>This Drawing is Details of M8 nut welded. A weld nut is a type of nut that is specially designed to be welded to another work piece. Different types of weld nuts are used for different purposes. These include <strong>round base nuts, slab base nuts, tab base nuts, hex and square nuts, retainer weld nuts, tube end nuts, twin piloted nuts</strong> and more. As a general principle, <strong>welding should not be done on bolts or nuts</strong>. However, if essential, the composition of the bolt (and nuts if involved) must be carefully considered. Retainer weld nuts, also known as <strong>bridge weld nuts</strong>, have a floating nut retained inside a retainer to compensate for inconsistencies. The retainer is welded to the work piece while the nut is allowed to float. For more details and information download the drawing file.</p>
