The blackening treatment double ferrule nuts come in all sorts of thread sizes,both metric and imperial. You know, like M5, M6, M8, M10, or imperial stuff like 1/4"-20 and 5/16"-18. So basically, they'll fit different bolts you might be using.
When you're looking at the double ferrule nuts, there are a few specs you'll need to check: the body diameter (how wide the main part is), the grip range (how thick the material they can handle), the total length, and the size of the hex head you turn.
Most standard blackening treatment double ferrule nuts go through a passivation process. It’s a chemical treatment that gets rid of any free iron bits on the surface. This helps strengthen the natural chromium oxide layer on the steel, which really amps up its rust resistance. The cool thing is, it doesn’t add any extra coating,just makes the stainless steel’s own anti-corrosion stuff work better.
Passivation keeps the metal looking like metal, which is nice. And it makes sure the nut holds up well in tough conditions. You don’t see a lot of other finishes on these because the stainless steel itself already does a good job, so there’s not much need to add more.

This blackening treatment double ferrule nut is great because it doesn’t cause heat distortion, and you don’t need to do any costly welding. You can install it quick with basic tools,just put it right into thin materials or spots you can’t weld, like blind areas. Since it’s made of stainless steel, it resists rust on its own, no extra treatment needed.
Basically, it gives you a strong, reliable threaded insert without messing up sensitive materials or finishes. So instead of dealing with welding hassles, you can just pop this nut in place fast, and it holds up well without any added steps.
