Square Weld Nuts (DIN 928) - Low Carbon Steel - ISO Class 4-Bare

Square Weld Nuts (DIN 928) – Low Carbon Steel, ISO Class 4, Bare Finish

FULLERKREG DIN 928 square weld nuts in Q195 low carbon steel with bare (plain, uncoated) finish are the standard choice for high-volume resistance projection welding applications where post-weld painting, powder coating, or e-coating will be applied to the finished assembly. The bare finish ensures optimal electrical conductivity during the welding process and maximum adhesion for subsequent surface treatments. Four precision weld projections on the bearing face concentrate heat during resistance welding for consistent, high-strength weld joints. The square body provides excellent anti-rotation resistance in the parent material. Widely used in automotive body-in-white, appliance manufacturing, steel furniture, and general sheet metal fabrication.

Why Bare Finish for Weld Nuts?

Bare (uncoated) finish is the industry-standard choice for weld nuts used in assemblies that will receive post-weld surface treatment. Key advantages include:

  • Optimal weld conductivity – No coating layer to burn off or contaminate the weld nugget
  • Consistent projection collapse – Bare steel projections deform predictably under electrode force
  • Paint / powder coat adhesion – Bare steel surface bonds directly with e-coat, powder coat, or wet paint
  • Cost efficiency – No plating cost; corrosion protection provided by the final assembly coating
  • Automotive BIW standard – Body-in-white processes universally specify bare weld nuts before paint shop

Welding Guide

Parameter Guidance
Welding Method Resistance projection welding (spot welding machine)
Parent Material Mild steel, galvanized sheet, or cold-rolled steel (0.8–3.0 mm)
Projection Function 4 projections concentrate current for consistent weld nugget formation
Electrode Force Adjust per sheet thickness; higher force for thicker panels
Post-weld Treatment Apply e-coat, powder coat, or paint immediately after welding to prevent flash rust on bare steel
Thread Protection Use thread protector plug during welding and painting to keep thread clean
Storage Store in dry conditions; bare finish will surface-rust if exposed to moisture before assembly

Selection Guide

Application Scenario Recommended Size Reason
Automotive body-in-white (BIW) M5 – M10 Industry standard bare weld nut before paint shop process
Steel furniture & shelving M4 – M8 Welded then powder coated; bare finish ensures adhesion
Home appliance panels M4 – M8 High-volume stamping & welding lines; cost-effective bare grade
Electrical cabinet fabrication M4 – M8 Welded before e-coat or paint; clean thread after coating
Agricultural & construction equipment M6 – M12 Heavy sheet metal; bare nut welded before protective coating
General sheet metal fabrication M3 – M12 Full size range for versatile production line use

Standard Reference

DIN 928 specifies square weld nuts with metric threads and four weld projections, issued by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN). The standard defines body dimensions, projection geometry, and thread tolerances for resistance welding applications. DIN 928 weld nuts in bare low carbon steel are the most widely used variant globally, particularly in automotive, appliance, and general manufacturing industries where post-weld coating is part of the production process. FULLERKREG manufactures these nuts in Q195 low carbon steel with strict conformance to DIN 928 dimensional tolerances.
