Why Choose A2 Stainless Steel Metric Serrated Flange Nuts?
Our A2 stainless steel metric serrated flange nuts at AlbanyCountyFasteners.com provide secure, corrosion-resistant fastening for high-vibration environments in metric-based applications. Also known as A2 stainless metric 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 settings. The integrated serrated flange acts as a non-spinning washer, distributing pressure over a wider surface area to protect softer materials, while the serrations bite into the surface for a locking effect that resists loosening due to vibration. Available in metric sizes like M5-0.8, M6-1.0, M8-1.25, M10-1.5, and M12-1.75, they meet DIN 6923/ISO 4161 and IFI tolerances and are ideal for automotive, machinery, and construction projects.

- Vibration Resistance: Serrated flange grips to prevent loosening under stress.
- 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 Serrated Flange Nuts
A2 stainless metric serrated flange nuts are designed for projects requiring secure, corrosion-resistant fastening in high-vibration settings with metric fasteners. Their versatility makes them suitable for:
- Automotive assemblies with metric components
- Machinery and equipment under vibration
- Construction projects using metric standards
- Electronics and plumbing in freshwater environments
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A2 stainless steel metric serrated flange nuts are corrosion-resistant hex nuts with metric threads and an integrated, serrated flange that acts as a washer and locks into the surface to prevent loosening under vibration.
How do A2 stainless steel metric serrated flange nuts differ from non-serrated flange nuts?Serrated flange nuts have serrations on the flange that bite into the surface for vibration resistance, while non-serrated flange nuts distribute load without locking functionality.
Are A2 stainless steel metric 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 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 engage the serrations, ensuring a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
How do I choose the right size A2 stainless steel metric 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.
