Stainless Steel Hexagon Weld Nuts DIN 929 Purification 316 A4-70 Clear

Description

A stainless steel hexagon weld nuts are a special type of nut specifically designed to be welded to another object. There are various types for different applications. These nuts are very similar to standard square or hex nuts but have a locating boss and welding projections. The bosses also keep weld spatter out of the threads. Ever Hardware provides custom made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Stainless steel hexagon weld nuts do not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. However, it is not fully stain-proof in low-oxygen, high salinity, or poor air-circulation environments. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. 316 grade is the second-most common form of stainless steel. It has almost the same physical and mechanical properties as 304 stainless steel and contains a similar material make-up. The key difference is that 316 stainless steel incorporates about 2 to 3 percent molybdenum. The addition increases corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and other industrial solvents.
316 stainless steel is commonly used in many industrial applications involving processing chemicals, as well as high-saline environments such as coastal regions and outdoor areas where de-icing salts are common. Due to its non-reactive qualities, 316 stainless steel is also used in the manufacture of medical surgical instruments.
Alternative 300-series grades can contain up to 7 percent molybdenum. They provide even better chloride resistance, but such heavy-duty resistance is only necessary for industrial or high concentration exposure conditions.

The benefits of stainless steel include a long service life that will retain an attractive, clean finish with low maintenance cost. It also maintains a high value if and when equipment and parts need to be decommissioned.
