Product Overview

What are AISI 4340 Nuts?

AISI 4340 nuts are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured from chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel conforming to ASTM A194 Grade 7 or ASTM A563 Grade DH. This alloy is renowned for its exceptional toughness, fatigue resistance, and ability to maintain high mechanical properties after heat treatment. AISI 4340 nuts are typically quenched and tempered to achieve a minimum tensile strength of 930 MPa, making them ideal for critical bolted joints in demanding environments.

With a balanced alloy composition, AISI 4340 nuts offer superior performance in high-stress, high-temperature, and impact-prone applications such as pressure vessels, heavy machinery, and oilfield equipment. They are widely specified for use with high-strength bolts and studs in the energy, aerospace, and defense sectors.

Material Chemistry

AISI 4340 Chemical Composition

AISI 4340 Nuts are produced from medium-carbon or alloy steel with carbon (0.15–0.55%), chromium, manganese, and boron additions controlled per ASTM and ISO 898-1. Carbon content and quench-and-temper heat treatment are the primary strength levers, delivering proof loads from 580 MPa (Class 8.8) to 970 MPa (Class 12.9).

Why AISI 4340 Alloy Composition Matters for Nuts

Ni (1.65–2.00%) — Toughness & Impact Strength
Nickel content in AISI 4340 provides outstanding toughness and resistance to brittle fracture, making these nuts ideal for dynamic and impact-loaded assemblies.
Cr & Mo — Hardenability & Strength
Chromium and molybdenum enhance hardenability and high-temperature strength, ensuring AISI 4340 nuts maintain preload and resist relaxation in severe service.
Low P & S — Clean Steel for Fatigue Life
Strict control of phosphorus and sulfur ensures high fatigue life and resistance to stress corrosion cracking, critical for safety-related bolted joints.

AISI 4340 nuts are available to DIN 934 (metric hex), ISO 4032, and ASME B18.2.2 (inch hex and heavy hex). For high-pressure and high-temperature service, ASTM A194 Grade 7 and ASTM A563 Grade DH are commonly specified. Custom thread forms and heavy hex patterns are available on request.
Molybdenum disulfide or graphite-based anti-seize is recommended for AISI 4340 nuts, especially in high-load or high-temperature applications. This prevents galling and ensures consistent preload. Avoid copper-based anti-seize in environments prone to galvanic corrosion.
Yes – AISI 4340 nuts, when properly heat treated, maintain impact toughness down to -46°C and are suitable for low-temperature bolted joints in pressure vessels, pipelines, and LNG applications. Always specify Charpy V-notch requirements for critical service.
No MOQ for standard sizes (M12-M36) in stock – single pieces can be supplied for urgent needs. Custom sizes or special coatings may require a 10 kg minimum. Bulk discounts apply at 50, 200, and 500 pieces.
