Thread Hollow Hexagon Pillars, also known as Copper Studs, are a type of fastener that features a hollow design with a hexagonal cross-section. These studs are typically made from copper or copper alloys, which are known for their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as their resistance to corrosion.
Carbon Steel: Typically used for general applications.
Stainless Steel: For environments where corrosion resistance is required.
Alloy Steels: Used in applications requiring high strength or high temperature resistance.
Advantage:
Lightweight Design: The hollow design reduces the weight of the stud, which can be beneficial in applications where weight is a concern, such as in aerospace or automotive industries.
High Conductivity: Copper's high electrical and thermal conductivity makes these studs ideal for applications requiring efficient heat dissipation or electrical connection.
Strength and Durability: Despite being hollow, these studs maintain a high level of strength and durability due to the inherent properties of copper and the hexagonal shape, which distributes stress evenly.
Corrosion Resistance: Copper's natural resistance to corrosion means these studs can be used in environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals is a concern.
Scope of Application
Electronics and Electrical Applications: Used for securing components in electronic devices where electrical conductivity and heat dissipation are required.
Heat Sinks: In electronics, they can be used to attach heat sinks to components that generate heat, aiding in thermal management.
Structural Applications: In construction or mechanical assembly, they can be used to join materials that require a strong, lightweight connection.
Aerospace Industry: Due to their strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, they are suitable for use in aerospace applications where components need to be lightweight and durable.
