I'm designing an aluminum bracket for an electronics enclosure. The material is 10 gauge (2.588 mm) 6061 T6 aluminum. Each piece will be fastened with 9 stainless M3 screws. We'll have the brackets fabricated by a local sheet metal house in quantities of about 100 per order.
What are the pros and cons of using Pem Nuts versus tapping directly into the aluminum?
Which is cheaper?
Which is stronger?
If I do use Pem nuts, are aluminum (CLA) or Zinc plated steel (CLS) Pem better in aluminum sheet?
Thanks.
