Why Choose A2 Stainless Steel Metric Non-Serrated Flange Nuts?
Our A2 stainless steel metric non-serrated flange nuts at AlbanyCountyFasteners.com provide reliable, corrosion-resistant fastening for metric-based applications requiring load distribution without surface damage. Also known as A2 stainless metric non-serrated flange nuts, these nuts are made from A2 stainless steel (equivalent to 18-8/304), offering excellent corrosion resistance for general-purpose, freshwater, and non-saltwater environments. The integrated non-serrated flange acts as a non-spinning washer, distributing pressure over a wider surface area to protect softer materials like aluminum or plastic without scratching. Available in metric sizes like M5-0.8, M6-1.0, M8-1.25, M10-1.5, and M12-1.75, they meet DIN EN 1661/ISO 4161 and IFI tolerances and are ideal for automotive, machinery, and electronics projects.
- Corrosion Resistance: A2 stainless steel withstands rust in freshwater and sheltered settings.
- Load Distribution: Non-serrated flange protects softer surfaces from damage.
- Built-in Washer: Eliminates the need for a separate washer, saving time and cost.
- Metric Precision: Compatible with metric bolts and screws for international use.
Applications for A2 Stainless Steel Metric Non-Serrated Flange Nuts
A2 stainless metric non-serrated flange nuts are designed for projects requiring secure, corrosion-resistant fastening with metric fasteners and softer materials. Their versatility makes them suitable for:
- Automotive assemblies with metric components
- Machinery and equipment with delicate surfaces
- Electronics and electrical enclosures in freshwater settings
- Construction projects using metric standards
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A2 stainless steel metric non-serrated flange nuts are corrosion-resistant hex nuts with metric threads and an integrated, smooth flange that acts as a washer to distribute load without scratching surfaces.
How do A2 stainless steel metric non-serrated flange nuts differ from serrated flange nuts?Non-serrated flange nuts have a smooth flange to distribute load without scratching surfaces, while serrated flange nuts have serrations that bite into the surface for vibration resistance.
Are A2 stainless steel metric non-serrated flange nuts suitable for marine environments?These nuts are corrosion-resistant for freshwater and sheltered settings. For marine or highly corrosive environments, A4/316 stainless steel nuts are recommended for superior durability.
What tools are needed to install A2 stainless steel metric non-serrated flange nuts?Use a standard metric wrench or ratchet compatible with the nut’s hex size. Thread the nut onto the bolt and tighten to secure the connection, ensuring proper load distribution.
How do I choose the right size A2 stainless steel metric non-serrated flange nut?Select based on the bolt’s diameter and thread pitch, such as M5-0.8, M6-1.0, M8-1.25, M10-1.5, or M12-1.75. Check sizing charts or consult our team for guidance.
