Types and selection of materials for industrial machinery fasteners nuts

Types and selection of materials for industrial machinery fasteners, nuts

Nuts are a kind of fastener commonly used in mechanical connection; they have reliable connection performance and high bearing capacity. In mechanical manufacturing and maintenance, the choice of material for the nut plays a vital role in the quality and service life of the product. When it comes to nuts, I believe that we will not be very strange; nuts are often used with screws to use a fastener, and in daily life everywhere, it also can be seen, nut market demand is considerable. However, due to the variety of nuts, in addition to the commonly used nuts, other types of nuts are less contact, and even senior mechanics are not well understood. The main types of industrial machinery nuts, are there any you do not know?

1. Nut material types

Nut material types are wealthy, and you can choose different materials depending on the working conditions and requirements. Common types of nut materials are as follows:

1.1 Carbon steel nuts: Carbon steel nuts are the most common nut material. They have good mechanical properties and weldability and are suitable for general mechanical connections. However, they are susceptible to corrosion and oxidation and require surface treatment.

1.2 Stainless steel nuts: Stainless steel nuts have good corrosion resistance and aesthetics, making them suitable for some demanding occasions, such as chemical, aviation, medical, and other fields. However, their strength and hardness are low and susceptible to stress loosening.

1.3 Copper nuts: They have good electrical and thermal conductivity, making them suitable for some electronic and electrical equipment connections. However, their strength and hardness are low and easily affected by stress loosening.

1.4 Aluminum nuts: Aluminum nuts are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance, so they are suitable for some lightweight requirements of the occasion, such as automotive, aviation, and other fields. However, their strength and hardness are low and susceptible to stress loosening.

2. Nut material selection method

When selecting the nut material, the following aspects need to be considered:

2.1 Working conditions: The conditions in which the nut is located are critical factors in selecting materials. You need to choose the appropriate material, whether the environment is corrosive, high temperature, high pressure, or other factors.

2.2 Load-bearing capacity: The load-bearing capacity of the nut is another critical factor in the selection of materials. This is due to the need to carry ample torque and tension and to choose a more robust and complex material.

2.3 Economy: The material selection of the nut also needs to consider economic factors. For example, the need for mass production of products requires choosing a lower-cost material.

3. Nut material operation steps: in the selection of nut material, you need to follow the steps below:

3.1 Determine the working conditions: First, you need to determine the conditions in which the nut is located, such as the environment, load-bearing capacity, and other factors.

3.2 Determine the type of material: According to the working conditions and requirements, select the appropriate type of nut material.

3.3 Material testing: Test the selected material, such as a tensile test, hardness test, etc., to ensure it meets the requirements.

3.4 Economic analysis: An economic analysis of the selected material, using selected nut cost control analysis, ensures that the cost of material specifications is reasonable.

3.5 Determine the nut material: Consider the above factors to determine the final nut material.
