This standard specifies the mechanical properties of nuts made of austenitic, martensitic and ferritic corrosion-resistant stainless steels when tested at an ambient temperature of 15-25°C. Performance may vary at higher or lower temperatures. Nuts applicable to this standard: Nominal thread diameter D<39 mm; Ordinary thread conforming to GB/T 92; Diameter and pitch combination conforming to GB/T 193; Basic dimensions conforming to GB/T 196; Complying to GB/T197 Specified tolerance; Any shape; Width across flats complies with GB/T 3104; Nominal height > 0.5D. This standard does not specify the following performance requirements: Locking performance; Weldability. Corrosion and oxidation resistance in special environments. The purpose of this standard is to classify the properties of stainless steel fasteners. Some materials can be used in the air to a temperature of -200°C, while some materials can be used in the air to a temperature of ten to 800°C. For information on the influence of temperature on mechanical properties, see Appendix D (reminder appendix). Corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and mechanical properties for use at high temperatures or below zero must be agreed between the user and the manufacturer for each particular occasion. Appendix E (reminder appendix) gives information about the influence of carbon content on intergranular corrosion under high temperature conditions. All austenitic stainless steel fasteners are generally nonmagnetic in the annealed condition; some magnetism may be evident after cold working, see Appendix F (reminder).
