Smooth Contoured Slotted Round Nut

Smooth Contoured Slotted round nuts are made of various sturdy materials to suit different purposes. The most common material for nut is carbon steel - it is inexpensive and durable, and is often used in conventional mechanical components such as shafts and hubs.

If you need nuts for outdoors or near saltwater, stainless steel (like 304 or 316 grade) is a good choice because it doesn't rust. For electrical jobs, brass slotted round nuts work well since brass conducts electricity. Aluminum nuts are light, so they're suitable for places where weight matters and there's no corrosion or heavy load.

We pick the material based on what the nut will be used for. This way, it can handle the specific pressure, friction, or environment it will face in the equipment.

Product surface treatment

2.We often put Smooth Contoured Slotted round nut through different surface treatments to help them last longer and avoid rust. The most common method is galvanization. It's a popular choice because it doesn't cost too much, is simple to do, and gives good basic protection for indoor or dry places.

For tougher spots, like outside or near the ocean, we use hot-dip galvanizing. This puts on a much heavier coating that holds up against salt water and dampness.

We also use other finishes. For example, a black oxide coating gives a darker look and some rust resistance, and we often passivate stainless steel nuts to keep them from surface rust. We pick the treatment depending on where the nut will be used. This helps make sure it lasts and works correctly in parts like shafts or sleeves.
