A swage nut or self-clinching nut is a type of nut or threaded insert that is used on sheet metal.
It permanently anchors itself to the sheet metal by swaging the surrounding material. Generally, the swage nut is made of a hard metal such as stainless steel, which is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in softer ductile material such as aluminum.
This is a popular method for adding strong, load-bearing threads to a relatively thin piece of soft sheet metal.

I used these in 1/8 inch thick sheet steel, and you don't need to press them in.The "correct" installation procedure is to press them into a 1/4 diameter hole but you don't have to use a press.Instead of using a press, just use a grade-8 allen-head screw to "PULL" them into place. The resulting clinch isn't 100% but it's good enough. Think about it. Where is the nut going to go? It's not going anywhere. The screw won't let it come out. And the knurl won't let it spin. Easy-peasy.
