Inconel:  Inconel 600 is a special corrosion resistant alloy consisting of nickel, (78%) chromium, (15%) iron, (7%) and other trace elements.  It is high strength, and can accept extremes in temperature.  It is heat-treated.  It is a very expensive material, due the nickel content.  Its primary use is in aircraft engines.  It is the material used in the AN123301-450 and AN123601-750 series rivets. 

Rivet Nuts:  A rivet nut is a form of internally threaded insert.  It is usually a heavy-duty form of threaded insert, with a thicker head and body, and class 3 threads, than most other threaded inserts.  To install a rivet nut, a special tool with a threaded stud engages the threads of the rivet nut and pulls upward.  This causes a portion of the body of the rivet nut to deform, and expand against the reverse side of the material being fastened, forming a secure, permanent joint, that a screw or bolt can be attached to.  Rivet nuts come in a variety of materials, in countersunk and protruding head styles, open end or closed end, and with or without an indexing key, which serves to keep the rivet nut from spinning in its joint.  Common uses include leg levelers in appliances, electronic cases, and to add attachments such as luggage racks to automobiles and components in boats, motorcycles, and RV’s.
