    ASTM A194 Grade 8CA Heavy Hex Nuts — UNS S34700

    Stabilized stainless steel nuts designed for elevated temperature environments.

    ASTM A194/A194M Grade 8CA Nuts are engineered for applications involving high heat and corrosive industrial conditions. These heavy hex nuts deliver dependable resistance against oxidation and intergranular corrosion. They are extensively used with ASTM A193/A193M bolting systems and ASTM A320/A320M low-temperature assemblies. ASTM A563M and ASTM F2437/F2437M standards also support their industrial usage.
