Wire Thread Inserts AISI 304-Screw Locking Type

Helical insert is a fastener made of helically drawn coiled wire. Helically formed coils of diamond shaped stainless steel or phosphor bronze wire screw into a threaded hole to form a mating internal thread for a screw or stud.
 
These inserts provide a convenient means of repairing stripped-out threads and are also used to provide stronger threads in soft materials such as aluminum, zinc die castings, wood, plastic, magnesium etc. than can be obtained by direct tapping of the base metal involved. Other common generic names are Screw Thread Insert (STI) and Wire Thread
Insert. Its applications include engine cylinder head repair after unintentional over-torque or cross-threading of spark plugs strips the thread of the socket.
 
Thread Repairing Kits with matched tap and coil exist for this application and many others, where either a damaged thread is repaired or a new thread is formed.
