Product Overview
EN 24 (4340 Equivalent) nuts are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured from EN 24 (AISI 4340) bar stock, a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy renowned for its exceptional toughness and fatigue resistance. These nuts are typically supplied in the quenched and tempered condition, achieving high tensile and yield strengths suitable for critical bolted joints in demanding engineering applications.
EN 24 nuts are widely specified for use in heavy-duty mechanical assemblies, high-stress flange connections, and rotating equipment where both strength and ductility are essential. They conform to international standards such as ASTM A194 Grade 7 and DIN 934, ensuring compatibility with high-strength bolts and studs in the oil & gas, power generation, and heavy machinery sectors.
