Hello all,
I have run into a situation where nut plates with nylon inserts were used accidentally instead of the all steel variants. Specifically these are NAS1033 nut plates. The application is not critical or structural by any means. However, I can't seem to find any design information on the use of nuts or nut plates with nylon inserts as compared to all steel or CRES nuts. Looking at the spec it looks like purely a temperature consideration, but there must be more to it. Any information or experience is much appreciated.
