The hexagon nut is a standard fastener widely used in the field of mechanical connection and has an extremely important position.
From the appearance of the shape, as its name, it is hexagonal, six sides are flat and symmetrical, this unique shape design makes it can be closely fitted with the wrench, for the force tightening or loosening provides great convenience. Whether it is a common manual wrench or an electric wrench on an industrial production line, it can easily jam the side of the hex nut, efficiently complete the operation, and ensure that the connection is tight and easy to remove.
In the selection of materials, there are various choices according to different use scenarios. Ordinary carbon steel hexagonal nuts, with its high strength and relatively low cost, are widely used in general mechanical equipment, building structure construction and other occasions, like the fixing of ordinary machine tools in the factory, simple beam assembly, it can be excellent to complete the fastening task. Stainless steel hexagon nuts, with excellent corrosion resistance, in wet, acid and alkali environment and outdoor facilities, such as the installation of seaside guardrils, chemical workshop pipeline system connection, even if long-term exposure to harsh conditions, still can effectively prevent rust, to ensure the stability of the connection. For some special areas with demanding strength and weight requirements, such as aerospace and high-end racing car manufacturing, hexagonal nuts made of aluminum alloy come in handy to achieve the fastening function while helping to reduce the weight of the overall equipment and optimize performance.
