Product Overview
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.
