Stainless Steel Hex Nuts BSW Thread 5/16” Inch Grade-304/316

Stainless Steel (SS) Hex Nuts are six-sided, internally threaded fasteners used to secure bolts, screws, or threaded rods in, marine, automotive, and construction industries. Made from corrosion-resistant alloys (primarily 304 or 316), they are designed for easy tightening with wrenches and offer high strength, durability, and resistance to rust, moisture, and high temperatures.

Key Details and Specifications:
Material Grades: Primarily 304 (A2) for general corrosion resistance and 316 (A4) for high-chloride or marine environments.
Shape: Hexagonal (6 sides) for high-torque application.
Thread Types: Metric (e.g., M6, M10, M36) and Imperial/Inch (e.g., 1/4″, 3/8″, 4″).
Common Standards: DIN 934 (general), DIN 6923 (flange), DIN 985 (nylon lock), and ASTM A194.
Features: Resistant to high/low temperatures, non-magnetic (mostly), and durable under pressure.
Applications: Fastening in machinery, construction, oil & gas, infrastructure, and DIY projects.

These nuts come in various sizes (often M2-M60 or 1/4″-4″) and can be found with either coarse or fine thread pitches depending on the application.
