STEEL NUTS MATERIALS
ASTM A194
The ASTM A194 specification covers a variety of carbon, alloy, and martensitic and austenitic stainless steel nuts. Hex heavy nuts are components of boltings sets for flanges.
These nuts are intended for high-pressure or high-temperature service or both. Bars from which the nuts are made shall be hot-wrought.
According to the ASTM A194 norm, the material may be further processed by centerless grinding or by cold drawing.
Austenitic stainless steel may be solution annealed or annealed and strain-hardened. Each alloy shall conform to the chemical composition requirements prescribed.
Hardness tests, proof of load tests, and cone proof load tests shall be made to all nuts to meet the requirements specified.

Metric Steel Nuts Materials
- Stainless steel 18-8 (A-2): Also known as A-2 stainless, 18-8 is the most common grade of stainless steel for general use.
- Stainless steel 316 (A-4): Also known as A-4 stainless, 316 is a highly corrosion resistant grade of stainless steel. Ideal for saltwater and chlorine environments. More expensive than 18-8.
- Zinc-plated steel: A low carbon steel for general use. Zinc plated for moderate corrosion resistance.
- Zinc plated class 8.8 steel: A tempered medium carbon steel. Class 8.8 is hardened, but it is not as strong as class 10.9. It is commonly found in automotive applications. Class 8.8 is similar to grade 5. Zinc plated for moderate corrosion resistance.
- Zinc plated class 10.9 steel: A tempered medium carbon steel. Class 10.9 is stronger than class 8.8 and is commonly found in high strength automotive applications. Class 10.9 is similar to grade 8. Zinc plated for moderate corrosion resistance.
- Chrome-plated steel: A low carbon steel for general use. Chrome-plated and polished for a mirror-like finish.

What is difference between ASTM A 194 Gr. 7 Nut & A 194 Gr. 2H Nut
You can find an answer by looking at the chemical and mechanical tables posted on our blog. thanks.
is there any codes (ASME, ASTM, etc.) recommend pairing of bolt and nut type (i.e B7 bolt & 2H nut)
