What is a stainless steel nut?

Stainless steel nuts are a standard fastener widely used in various industries and fields. As an essential part of mechanical equipment, stainless steel nuts play a vital role in ensuring the stability and safety of equipment. This article will introduce the standard, classification, material, and application areas of stainless steel nuts and other related knowledge.

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 nut has the advantage of having a better stainless steel nut, which is 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.

The advantages of stainless steel nuts are good corrosion and heat resistance, they can be used in wet, corrosive, and other harsh environments, and they have good processability and weldability. There are many types of stainless steel nuts: standard hexagonal, square, round, etc. Different types of nuts are suitable for various types of bolts or screws, which need to be selected according to the specific use of the environment and requirements.

It should be noted that the strength and hardness of stainless steel nuts are relatively low and not applicable to some demanding applications, such as machinery, automotive, and other fields. When choosing nuts, you need to select according to the specific use of the environment and requirements to ensure the use of nuts and life.

Stainless steel nut standards and specifications:

The standards for stainless steel nuts mainly include international and domestic standards. International standards are mainly ISO, DIN, ANSI, etc.; domestic standards are mainly GB, JB, etc. These standards specify the size, material, mechanical properties, and other requirements of stainless steel nuts to ensure their quality and reliability.

The international standard for stainless steel hexagonal nuts is ISO8675:1997, which specifies the size, mechanical properties, and marking of stainless steel hexagonal nuts. According to the ISO8675:1997 standard, stainless steel hexagon nuts can be used in performance grades such as A2-50, A2-70, A4-50 and A4-70.

In addition, ISO 683-17:1998 specifies the dimensions and weights of stainless steel thin hexagon nuts. This type of nut is suitable for reducing the weight or support surface requirements and is usually used where thin nuts are required.

1. Ordinary stainless steel hexagon nuts: standard (DIN934, ISO 4033, ASME/ANSI B 18.2.2), commonly used specifications: M1.6-M64.

2. Thickened stainless steel hexagon nuts: Standard (SAE J 482 (-1), CNS 5014), common specifications: M5-M39;

3. Thicker hexagon nuts: standard (IFI 128-2000), common specifications: M10-M48;

4. Stainless steel thin hexagon nuts: standard (DIN EN 24035, ASME B 18.2.4.5M, BS EN 24035, HB 8245, DIN439), common specifications: M3-M48;

7. All-metal lock nuts: standard (DIN980), common specifications: M5-M20;

8. Fine Thread Hexagon Nuts: Standard (ISO 8673 - 2012, ISO 8674 - 2012, DIN 971 (-1), DIN EN 28673, BS EN 28674, EN 28673, JIS B 1181 - 2004), common specifications: M4-M64;

Classification of stainless steel nuts:

According to different use requirements and structural forms, stainless steel nuts can be divided into the following categories:

1. Common nut: Also known as hexagonal nut, this is the most common nut widely used in various fields.

2. High-strength nuts: These are made of ordinary nuts and increase the strength of the material, making them suitable for withstanding more vigorous occasions.

3. Thin nuts: thinner than ordinary nuts, suitable for occasions with limited space.

4. Lock nuts: Their unique structural design prevents loosening and makes them suitable for fastening in a vibration environment.

5. Spline Nuts: Spline structure is added inside the nut, which can improve the connection strength with the bolt.

6. Self-locking nut: A self-locking structure is added inside the nut to prevent loosening, applicable to occasions that need to be used for a long time.

Stainless steel nut material:

The materials of stainless steel nuts are mainly 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, 201 stainless steel, and so on. 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and toughness, suitable for most environments; 316 stainless steel has better corrosion resistance, ideal for special occasions such as marine environments; and 201 stainless steel has muscular strength and hardness, suitable for occasions that need to withstand greater force.

The most common materials are 304 and 316 stainless steel nuts. Three hundred four stainless steel nuts have excellent corrosion and high-temperature resistance, making them suitable for chemical, food processing, pharmaceutical, shipbuilding, and other fields. Three hundred sixteen stainless steel nuts have a stronger corrosion resistance, which is ideal for using equipment in the sea and coastal areas.

Application areas of stainless steel nuts:

Stainless steel nuts are widely used in mechanical equipment, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electrical and electronic, building decoration, and other fields. Specific applications include the following aspects:

1. Mechanical equipment: Stainless steel nuts are fasteners used to connect various components and ensure the regular operation of the equipment.

2. Aerospace: The requirements for materials in the aerospace field are stringent. Stainless steel nuts are widely used because of their high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other characteristics.

3. Automobile manufacturing: The automobile is a complex mechanical system, and stainless steel nuts, as fasteners, play a vital role.

4. Electrical and electronic: In the field of electrical and electronic, the conductivity and corrosion resistance of the material are high, and stainless steel nuts are widely used because of their excellent performance.

5. Building decoration: In building decoration, stainless steel nuts are commonly used to install indoor and outdoor decorative materials, which are beautiful, durable, and have other characteristics.

In short, stainless steel nuts are critical fasteners in various industries and fields. By strictly following the standard specifications, selecting the appropriate classification and material, and applying them according to the actual needs, we can ensure that stainless steel nuts have the best effect on mechanical equipment.
