    ASTM A194 Grade 8MN Heavy Hex Nuts — UNS S31651

    Corrosion-resistant heavy hex nuts for marine and industrial applications.

    ASTM A194/A194M Grade 8MN Nuts are molybdenum-bearing stainless steel fasteners designed for aggressive service environments. These nuts are ideal for offshore, marine, and chemical processing systems. They are widely used with ASTM A193/A193M stud bolts, ASTM A320/A320M low-temperature bolting, ASTM A563M standards, and ASTM F2437/F2437M fastening assemblies.
