The difference between brass nuts and stainless steel nuts and the choice of solutions

Brass nuts: These are made of copper materials (generally leaded brass, such as H59 and H62). They are made of nuts. Our daily contact with copper nuts is mainly hexagonal nuts or bolts with other copper nuts. Copper nuts are not easy to rust, corrosion, conductive and conductive, and other advantages generally used for rust, high temperature, conductive, conductive, and further use of the environment, such as faucets, valves, electrical switches, and so on. Copper nuts have good electrical and thermal conductivity and are suitable for electronic and electrical equipment connections. However, the strength and hardness of the copper nut are low and easily affected by stress loosening.

Stainless steel nut is a common fastener widely used in various industries and fields. As an important part of mechanical equipment, stainless steel nuts play a vital role in ensuring the stability and safety of equipment. The standards for stainless steel nuts mainly include international and domestic standards. International standards mainly include ISO 4032 - 2012, DIN934, ASME/ANSI B 18.2.2I and so on;

These standards specify the size, material, mechanical properties, and other requirements of stainless steel nuts, ensuring their quality and reliability. Stainless steel nuts have better corrosion resistance and aesthetics and are suitable for some demanding occasions, such as chemical, aviation, medical, and other fields. However, stainless steel nuts have low strength and hardness and are susceptible to stress loosening. A stainless steel nut is made of stainless steel; stainless steel is a metal material with good corrosion and heat resistance. Stainless steel nuts are usually used in some applications that require high corrosion resistance of the nut, such as marine engineering, chemical industry, food processing, and other fields.

Stainless steel nuts have the advantage of being a better stainless steel nut, a kind of stainless steel material made of nuts; stainless steel is a metal material with good corrosion and heat resistance. Stainless steel nuts are usually used in some applications that require high corrosion resistance of the nut, such as marine engineering, chemical industry, food processing, and other fields.

Different materials:Copper nuts are made of copper material, usually brass or red copper, with good flexibility, fast thermal conductivity, low electrical resistance, and no rust. In contrast, stainless steel nuts are made of stainless steel, usually 304 or 316 stainless steel.

Different performance:Brass nuts have good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance and are widely used in electronics, electrical, instrumentation, marine, and other industries. Copper material has a low melting point, good processing performance, and can work at high temperatures, but the strength is not high.

Stainless steel nuts are characterized by better high-temperature resistance, high strength, and good corrosion resistance. Stainless steel materials can be used in various environmental conditions, including harsh environments such as chemicals.

Different scope of application:As brass nuts have good conductivity and corrosion resistance, they are widely used in electronics, electrical, instrumentation, shipping, and other industries. In addition, due to the beautiful appearance of brass nuts, they are also commonly used in food, medicine, and other industries.

Stainless steel nuts are commonly used in aviation, aerospace, rail transportation, and other high-end fields due to the material's high strength and good heat resistance. They are also widely used in chemical, electric power, shipping, and other industries.

Brass nuts and stainless steel nuts significantly differ in material and performance; choosing the suitable nut material can better adapt to the specific working environment and the use of demand.

How do you choose the proper brass nut?

There are many types of brass nuts: hot melt brass nuts and injection molded copper nuts. The outer surface knurling is also a variety of knurling; there are straight knurling and twill knurling; there are eight thread knurling, etc., so complex and diverse; how do you pick qualified or defective products?

A brass nut uses copper (generally leaded brass, such as H59 and H62) produced by the nut; our daily contact with the copper nut is mainly hexagonal nuts or bolts with other brass nuts.

So why use the copper nut in daily production activities? Because the brass nut is not easy to rust, corrosion, easy thermal conductivity and conductivity, and other advantages generally used for rust, high temperature, thermal conductivity, and other uses of the environment, such as faucets, valves, electrical switches, and so on.

Another significant use of brass nuts is injection molding, which is heated and embedded in plastic parts or direct mold injection molding.

Remember the following four points so that you do not unthinkingly choose brass nuts:

Get the goods; first, observe the outer surface of the brass nut knurling is neat and there are no burr, debris, cracking, or other phenomena.

To choose a transparent thread and thread tensile strength of the nut, there will be no thread breakage, slipping, or other phenomena.

Then, the caliper is used to measure the size of the copper nut and see whether it meets its requirements. The smaller the tolerance, the better.

Stainless steel nut selection solutions:Stainless steel nuts are indispensable fasteners in modern industry, and their material selection, structure, and use are essential. First, the stainless steel nuts' product structure mainly includes the nut body and the threaded part. Among them, the nut body is generally made of stainless steel, everyday 304 stainless steel, and 316 stainless steel, which have good corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance. The threaded part is the nut and bolt connection part, generally using the same tooth type and material as the bolt to ensure good interchangeability and connection strength.

When choosing stainless steel nuts, you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Stainless steel material: stainless steel nuts must be made of stainless steel to ensure their corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance. There are 304 stainless steel and 316 stainless steel, of which 316 stainless steel has superior corrosion resistance and is suitable for use in marine, chemical, and other highly corrosive environments.

2. Nut specifications: choose the appropriate nut specifications according to the diameter of the bolt to be connected and the thread length. Generally speaking, the specification of the nut should be the same as the bolt or slightly larger to ensure a good connection effect.

3. Nut appearance: High-quality stainless steel nuts should be smooth and burr-free without noticeable processing marks and damage. At the same time, the nut's chamfer and edge should be more rounded to prevent scratching the hand or affecting the installation.

4. Nut strength: When choosing stainless steel nuts, consider their strength and stability. You can check whether they are stable by twisting them and using a weight wrench to test their strength and tightening torque to meet the requirements.

Stainless steel nuts are advantageous because of their excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, which allows them to be used in harsh environmental conditions. At the same time, stainless steel nuts have a beautiful, smooth appearance. They can be used with various metal and non-metallic materials, so they are widely used in automotive, aerospace, marine, chemical, and other fields.

In short, when choosing stainless steel nuts, you must consider the following points: material, nut specifications, nut appearance, and nut strength.
