A rivetless nut plate assembly, which is fully preassembled, which can be installed into an aperture of a hard metal material workpiece having a hardness of at least 25 Rc, such as Titanium and Steel Alloys. The rivetless nut plate assembly includes a nut, a holding bracket, a retainer, and a sleeve member. Additionally, a stem is used to install the rivetless nut plate assembly. The sleeve member is configured such that the nut plate assembly can be installed in a hard metal material workpiece. The sleeve member may be formed of a high strength, but ductile material, such as Titanium Columbium, Monel, soft Nickel alloys or soft Titanium alloys.
