1.1This specification covers the requirements for stainless steel nuts 0.25 to 1.50 in., inclusive, in nominal diameter in a number of alloys in common use and intended for service applications requiring general corrosion resistance.

1.2Seven groups of stainless steel alloys are covered, including ten austenitic, two ferritic, four martensitic, and one precipitation hardening.

Group	Alloys^A	Condition^B

1	304, 305, 304L 384, 18-9LW, 302HQ^C	(CW)	cold worked^D
2	316, 316L	(CW)	cold worked^D
3	321, 347	(CW)	cold worked^D
4	430^E	(CW)	cold worked^D
5	410^F	(H)	hardened and tempered
6	431	(H)	hardened and tempered
7	630	(AH)	aged hardened

(A)Unless otherwise specified on the inquiry and order, the choice of an alloy from within a group shall be at the discretion of the fastener manufacturer (see 6.1).

(B)See 4.2 for options.

(C)When approved by the purchaser, alloys 303, 303Se, or XM1 may be furnished.

(D)Sizes 0.75 in. and larger may be hot worked and solution annealed.

(E)When approved by the purchaser, alloy 430F may be furnished.

(F)When approved by the purchaser, alloy 416 or 416Se may be furnished.

1.3Supplementary requirements of an optional nature are provided, applicable only when agreed upon by the manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of the inquiry and order.

1.4Suitable bolts, hex cap screws, and studs for use with nuts included in this specification are covered by Specification F593. Unless otherwise specified, all bolts, hex cap screws, and studs used with these nuts shall conform to the requirements of Specification F593 and shall be of the same alloy group.

1.5The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.6This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
