When screws or bolts are threaded directly into plastic components, failures can occur due to stripped threads or plastic creep. (When plastic is exposed to static mechanical stresses or elevated temperatures, it can move or deform.) Threaded inserts provide serviceable threads for situations when joint strength and the ability to assemble and disassemble without degrading the components are required. The two most common methods of installing threaded inserts are thermal and ultrasonic. But, they’re not the only methods. They can also be pressed in, molded . . .
