Metric Hex Nuts, Stainless
Click image to enlarge
Metric hex nuts made of A2 (18-8 or 304) stainless-steel are ideal for many environmental conditions, offering corrosion resistance to moisture and some chemical components. For projects that require superior corrosion resistance, consider the higher grade of stainless steel A4 (316) metric hex nuts. These metric hex nuts offer a longer service life resulting in a higher initial cost, but they will often show cost-savings in the long run. The A4 (316) stainless steel metric hex nuts are best suited for harsh or corrosive environments such as exposure to saltwater and chemical agents. Metric stainless fasteners, including metric hex cap screws, are very common in marine and food service applications for these properties.
