  1. Scope*
    1.1 This specification2 covers a variety of carbon, alloy, and
    martensitic stainless steel nuts in the size range 1⁄4 through 4
    in. and metric M6 through M100 nominal. It also covers
    austenitic stainless steel nuts in the size range 1⁄4 in. and M6
    nominal and above. These nuts are intended for high-pressure
    or high-temperature service, or both. Grade substitutions without
    the purchaser’s permission are not allowed.
    1.2 Bars from which the nuts are made shall be hot-wrought.
    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. When annealed and
    strain hardened austenitic stainless steel is ordered in accordance
    with Supplementary Requirement S1, the purchaser
    should take special care to ensure that 8.2.2, Supplementary
    Requirement S1, and Appendix X1 are thoroughly understood.
    1.3 Supplementary requirements (S1 through S6) of an
    optional nature are provided. These shall apply only when
    specified in the inquiry, contract, and order.
    1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units
    and in SI units. However, unless the order specifies the
    applicable“ M” specification designation (SI units), the material
    shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
    1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units
    are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the
    SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each
    system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must
    be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
    two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.

    SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
    One or more of the following supplementary requirements shall be applied only when specified by
    the purchaser in the inquiry, contract, or order. Details of these supplementary requirements shall be
    agreed upon in writing by the manufacturer and purchaser. Supplementary requirements shall in no
    way negate any requirement of the specification itself.
    S1. Strain-Hardened Austenitic Steel Nuts
    S1.1 Strain hardened Grades 8, 8C, 8T, 8M, 8F, 8P, 8N, or
    8MN nuts may be specified. When Supplementary Requirement
    S1 is invoked in the order, nuts shall be machined from
    cold drawn bars or shall be cold forged to shape. No subsequent
    heat treatment shall be performed on the nuts. Nuts made
    in accordance with this requirement shall be proof load tested
    in accordance with 8.2.2.1 and shall withstand the proof load
    specified in Table 8 and Table 9. Testing nuts requiring proof
    loads over 160 000 lbf or 705 kN is only required when
    Supplementary Requirement S4 is invoked. The hardness
    limits of Table 2 do not apply to strain hardened nuts. Nuts
    made in accordance with this requirement shall be marked with
    the Grade symbol underlined.
    S2. Retests by Purchaser’s Representative
    S2.1 The purchaser’s representative may select two nuts per
    keg (200-lb unit [90-kg]) for sizes 5⁄8 in. and M16 and smaller,
    one nut per keg for sizes over 5⁄8 in. and M16 up to and
    including 11⁄2 in. and M36, and one nut per every two kegs for
    sizes larger than 11⁄2 in. and M36, which shall be subjected to
    the tests specified in Section 8.
    S3. Low-Temperature Requirements for Grade 4, Grade
    7 or Grade 7M Nuts
    S3.1 When low-temperature requirements are specified for
    Grade 4 or Grade 7 nuts, the Charpy test procedures and
    requirements as defined in Specification A 320/A 320M for
    Grade L7 shall apply. When low-temperature requirements are
    specified for Grade 7M nuts, the Charpy test procedures and
    requirements as defined in Specification A 320/A 320M for
    Grade L7M shall apply. Depending on the size of nuts, separate
    test samples of the same heat may be required and shall be
    processed through heat treatment with the nuts for which the
    test is to apply. Impact testing is not required when the bar
    stock or nut is smaller than 5⁄8 in. in diameter or 16M in
    diameter.

    APPENDIXES
    (Nonmandatory Information)
    X1. STRAIN HARDENING OF AUSTENITIC STEELS
    X1.1 Strain hardening is the increase in strength and
    hardness that results from plastic deformation below the
    recrystallization temperature (cold work). This effect is produced
    in austenitic stainless steels by reducing oversized bars
    to the desired final size by cold drawing or other process. The
    degree of strain hardening achievable in any alloy is limited by
    its strain hardening characteristics. In addition, the amount of
    strain hardening that can be produced is further limited by the
    variables of the process, such as the total amount of crosssection
    reduction, die angle and bar size. In large diameter bars,
    for example, plastic deformation will occur principally in the
    outer regions of the bar, so that the increased strength and
    hardness due to strain hardening is achieved predominantly
    near the surface of the bar. That is, the smaller the bar, the
    greater the penetration of strain hardening. Thus, the mechanical
    properties of a given strain hardened fastener are dependent
    not just on the alloy, but also on the size of bar from which it
    is machined.
    X2. COATINGS AND APPLICATION LIMITS
    X2.1 Use of coated fasteners at temperatures above approximately
    one-half the melting point (Fahrenheit or Celsius)
    of the coating is not recommended unless consideration is
    given to the potential for liquid and solid metal embrittlement,
    or both. The melting point of elemental zinc is approximately
    780 °F [415 °C]. Therefore, application of zinc coated fasteners
    should be limited to temperatures less than 390 °F [210 °C].
    The melting point of cadmium is approximately 600 °F [320
    °C]. Therefore, application of cadmium coated fasteners should
    be limited to temperatures less than 300 °F [160 °C].
