New PEM Type FHP self-clinching flush-head studs will be introduced by at booth 15045. These studs are designed for use in thin stainless sheets and provide suitable solutions for attachment applications where demanding requirements for corrosion resistance and thinner, lighter designs must be satisfied. They can serve as practical alternatives to weld studs by enabling easier installation at lower costs. Type FHP flush-head studs exhibit high hardness and provide high corrosion resistance to perform in the most demanding industry applications, including medical, foodservice, and marine. These studs are formed from specialty stainless steel for use in sheet hardness of 92 or less on the Rockwell “B” scale. They mount flush and permanently in stainless sheets as thin as 0.04 in. and greater and will become integral parts of an assembly. Only a mating nut is required for final component attachment.
