Self-tapping inserts for heavy-duty mounting in a variety of materials

The Trisert-3 range of inserts offers an innovative, high-performance solution for obtaining solid threads in lightweight materials such as plastics, thermoplastics and thermosets, composites and metal alloys. Thanks to their materials, these self-tapping inserts offer high strength.

This article describes the many advantages of the Trisert-3 range over thread inserts. We’ll also look at the different variants available, particularly those made from titanium. These technical fasteners are ideal for harsh and corrosive environments.

The advantages of Trisert-3

The Trisert-3 is a self-tapping insert that stands out for its versatility and unique capabilities. Its countersunk head design allows it to be installed in flush mounts. Another major advantage of this insert is its ease of use. No special tapping tools are required.

What’s more, it is one-piece, which means that it does not deform when the supporting part undergoes deformation.

Trisert-3 range : Different materials and applications

The Trisert-3 range of inserts is available in different versions, each adapted to specific needs. These include inserts in carbon steel, Type 303 and Type 316 stainless steel, and Ti5 titanium. There’s also a zinc-nickel coating for enhanced corrosion resistance.

This variety of materials enables us to meet the requirements of a wide range of environments, including corrosive and harsh environments.

The advantage of Ti5 titanium inserts

Grade 5 titanium inserts are particularly recommended for applications requiring exceptional resistance and resistance to corrosion.

Titanium has unique properties that make it ideal for corrosive environments. When exposed to the atmosphere, a stable and inert oxide layer immediately forms on its surface, offering protection against corrosion.

As a result, titanium effectively resists corrosion in marine applications and polluted environments such as ports. Its high strength, combined with its low density, makes it the material of choice for applications where lightness and durability are essential.

Blind inserts for versatile use

The Trisert-3 range also includes blind inserts that can be overmoulded or self-tapped. This feature makes these inserts extremely versatile. In fact, they can be used from the early prototype stages right through to final production, without the need for any changes.

What’s more, the Trisert-3’s reduced head provides a clean, flush bearing surface for the complementary part. This facilitates the assembly process.

Their ease of use, strength and ability to adapt to corrosive and harsh environments make Trisert-3s indispensable technical fasteners in a variety of industrial applications.

From prototypes to final production runs, Trisert-3 inserts offer the versatility to meet the needs of mechanical assembly professionals.
