304 Hexagonal Long Nut

The 304 hexagonal long nut, crafted from stainless steel, stands as a critical component in various assembly and construction applications. Esteemed for its corrosion-resistant properties, this durable fastener is ideal for environments prone to moisture and chemical exposure. Its hexagonal shape ensures a robust grip and ease of installation with standard tools, while the elongated body provides increased thread engagement for enhanced security and load distribution. 

Manufacturing Processes of 304 Hexagonal Long Nut


  • Material Selection: The nut is made from 304 stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and strength. The material is chosen to ensure durability and reliability in various applications.

  • Blanking: The manufacturing process begins with blanking, where stainless steel billets or bars are cut into smaller, manageable pieces, or blanks, which will be formed into hexagonal nuts.

  • Forging: The blanks are then heated and forged into the rough shape of a hexagonal nut. Forging involves applying high pressure to shape the metal into a hexagonal form, ensuring that the material's grain structure aligns with the desired shape, which improves strength and durability.

  • Thread Cutting: After forging, the nuts are machined to cut internal threads. This is typically done using a tapping process, where a cutting tool or die creates the internal threads that will fit onto the corresponding bolt.

  • Machining and Finishing: The nuts are further machined to refine their dimensions and achieve precise tolerances. This includes ensuring the hexagonal shape is uniform and the internal threads are accurately cut. The nuts may also be subjected to surface finishing processes, such as polishing, to improve appearance and remove any burrs or imperfections.

  • Heat Treatment (if necessary): While 304 stainless steel generally does not require heat treatment, some specific applications might involve additional heat treatment to enhance material properties.

  • Inspection and Quality Control: The finished nuts undergo rigorous quality control to ensure they meet specifications for dimensions, thread accuracy, and material properties. This step ensures that each nut performs reliably under the intended conditions.

  • Packaging: Finally, the nuts are packaged for distribution, ensuring they are protected from damage and contamination during transit.
