The properties of stainless steel, such as hardness, luster and corrosion resistance, are ideal for myriad applications.

Self-clinching fasteners—providing reusable load-bearing threads to accept mating hardware—offer ideal solutions for attachment applications in appliances where metal sheets may be too thin to be tapped or where extruded or stamped threads would be impractical. 

Stainless steels – naturally corrosion-resistant metal alloys – are auto-passivating, which means they spontaneously produce a passivation layer (a thin passive film) in oxidizing environments like air or moisture.
