M5 M6 Stainless steel Hexagon Flange Nuts SS304 SS316 A2 A4-81 Hex Thin Nuts

Hexagonal nuts are used in conjunction with screws and bolts to fasten machine parts. The most widely used type is the standard hex nut, with different grades for various precision requirements:

• Type A & B nuts: For applications requiring smooth surfaces and high precision
• Type C nuts: For rougher surfaces where precision is less critical
• Type II nuts: Thicker design for frequent assembly/disassembly
• Thin hex nuts: For space-constrained applications

The hexagonal design provides excellent torque transmission and can withstand significant axial and radial loads.

• Construction: Steel structures, bridges, and frameworks
• Mechanical Engineering: Automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment
• Electronics: Component fastening in electronic devices
• Home Maintenance: Furniture assembly and general repairs

304 stainless steel (18% chromium, 8% nickel) offers excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature tolerance (800°C), and good mechanical properties, making it suitable for industrial, decorative, and food-grade applications.

Proper grade matching ensures optimal fastener performance:

• 8.8 grade bolts pair with 8 grade nuts
• 10.9 grade bolts pair with 10 grade nuts
• In critical applications, nut strength may be slightly lower than bolt strength for safety
