Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Heli-Coil used for?

A Heli-Coil is a coiled wire type of thread repair insert that is used to create internal screw threads to accommodate standard sized fasteners.

Do Heli-Coils work in aluminium?

When under the strain and pressure of an operating engine, the soft nature of aluminium metal permits threads to pull from their base material. So, an installed Heli-Coil threaded insert, on engines, ensures a secure threaded connecting point for accessories having aluminium heads.

What material are Heli-Coils made of?

Heli-Coil thread inserts are constructed of austenitic chromenickel steel having minimum tensile strength of 1400 N/sq.mm. These rolled threads ensure a wear resistant and high strength thread surface, with minimal frictional torque.

Can Helicoil inserts be used in hazardous or explosive environments?

Certain Helicoil inserts are suitable for use in hazardous or explosive environments by using materials that offer excellent electrical conductivity, spark resistance and other safety parameters. Materials like stainless steel may be suitable for such harsh environments as it has low electrical conductivity. Additionally, the use of special coatings or treatments can improve the spark resistance of the Helicoil insert, reducing the risk of ignition.

How do I know if my helicoil insert is functioning correctly?

To determine the proper functioning of helicoil inserts, the user can check the following factors:

  • Proper Installation: Users must ensure that the coil is properly installed and tightened to the correct torque specification.
  • Thread Engagement: Check that the Helicoil insert has sufficient thread engagement in the base material.
  • Thread Quality: Also, check the quality of the threads in the insert for any signs of damage, corrosion or wear.
  • Tightening: Ensure that the threaded fastener can be tightened and loosened smoothly and easily, without binding or galling.
  • Load Capacity: Check that the Helicoil insert can withstand the load requirements of the application without deforming or kinking.
  • If any of these factors indicate the Helicoil insert is not functioning properly, consider replacing the insert to restore the integrity of the threaded connection.

What certifications or standards do these helicoil inserts meet?

  • SAE International (Society of Automotive Engineers)
  • NASM (National Aerospace Standard)
  • ISO (International Organisation for Standardization)
  • AS (Aerospace Standard)
  • EN (European Standard)
