Cold heading process is one of the new processes for pressure machining of less or no cutting
metal. It is a processing method that utilizes the plastic deformation of metal under the action of
external forces, and with the aid of molds, redistributes and transfers the volume of metal to form
the required parts or blanks. The cold heading process is most suitable for producing standard
fasteners such as bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, and pins.etc
Brass Slotted Barrel Nuts are specialized fasteners used in various applications, particularly where a secure yet adjustable connection is needed. Here’s a detailed description:
Features:
-
Material: Made from brass, offering good corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and a decorative finish.
-
Design:
-
Barrel-shaped (cylindrical) body with a slotted head (single or multiple slots for a flat-head screwdriver).
-
Internal threading allows screws or bolts to be fastened securely.
-
Often knurled or smooth on the exterior for better grip during installation.
-
-
Types:
-
Standard slotted barrel nuts – Common in furniture and cabinetry.
-
Shouldered barrel nuts – Provide extra strength in structural joints.
-
Flanged barrel nuts – Offer a wider bearing surface to prevent pull-through.
- Brass slotted barrel nuts
-
Common Uses:
-
Furniture assembly (beds, cabinets, modular systems).
-
Electrical enclosures (due to brass’s non-sparking properties).
-
Marine and decorative hardware (brass resists tarnishing).
