(Doug91mac26s) I always called them a threaded insert and used them on thin material when I wanted to use bolts so it could be taken apart from time to time and not have to to drill out a bunch of pop rivets. I have also seen them used on inspection panels and such on bigger boats and aircraft. They are installed with what looks like a pop-riveter that has a selection of threaded ends to match different sized inserts, the insert is screwed on to the end before being placed into the hole and expanded.
