Monel Hex Nut, 3/8"-16 (Pack of 25)

Most often used on machine screws and threaded rod, these general purpose nuts are for low-strength assemblies. Hex Nuts have flat tops with chamfered corners; bottoms may be flat or chamfered. Hex drive systems are driven with a wrench.Monel, also known as Nickel-Copper Alloy 400, has exceptional strength and resistance to heat and corrosion. It is slightly magnetic, and is especially well suited for use near salt water. In comparison to steel, Monel can be difficult to machine and needs to be worked at slow speeds. Rockwell hardness is a minimum of B80, and minimum tensile strength is 80,000 psi. A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.

• Hex Nuts are appropriate for use in low-strength assemblies
• Monel is especially suited to use near salt water
• Drive system is a hexagon-shaped head
• Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads
• Ensure a lasting hold for any project
