Product Specification

Stainless Steel Hex Metal-Stop Locknuts – A2-70 and SUS316 All-Metal Prevailing-Torque Nuts

Corrosion-Resistant Top-Lock Hexagon Locking Solutions for Industrial OEM Equipment

JUXIN FASTENERS supplies stainless steel Hex Metal-Stop Locknuts for OEM manufacturers requiring corrosion-resistant threaded fastening solutions and all-metal locking performance.

The original product range identifies A2-70 stainless steel and SUS316 stainless steel, with metric sizes from M5 to M20.

For the top-lock distorted-thread configuration, the locking mechanism is formed through controlled deformation of the upper internal thread region.

When the nut engages a compatible mating bolt, the deformed thread section produces metallic interference and prevailing torque.

This resistance helps oppose unintended nut rotation in appropriately designed mechanical assemblies.

The product has a conventional non-flanged hexagon body.

Unlike nylon-insert locknuts, a distorted-thread metal-stop design does not rely on a polymer insert.

JUXIN FASTENERS supports drawing-based OEM sourcing for mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, production managers, 

purchasing managers, supply chain managers and industrial equipment manufacturers.

Specification Verification

The original product information contains conflicting descriptions of spring-stop and distorted-thread locking mechanisms.

The actual locking structure must be confirmed from the engineering drawing.

A2-70 and SUS316 are also different types of material designations.

SUS316 does not automatically establish a specific nut mechanical property class.

What Are Stainless Steel Hex Metal-Stop Locknuts?

Stainless steel Hex Metal-Stop Locknuts are corrosion-resistant all-metal locking fasteners intended for suitable threaded mechanical assemblies.

For a top-lock distorted-thread design, the locking action comes from controlled deformation of the internal thread near the upper end of the nut.

As the mating bolt advances into the locking region, metallic interference generates prevailing torque.

The locking resistance helps prevent unintended rotation.

The nut's stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance appropriate to the selected material and service environment.

Potential applications include industrial machinery, pumps, mechanical equipment supports, electrical enclosures, outdoor equipment and selected process equipment.

However, the product must be qualified for the actual joint loads, environmental conditions and customer requirements.

How the Top-Lock Distorted-Thread Mechanism Works

A top-lock distorted-thread nut contains a specially formed locking section near the top of its internal thread.

During installation, the mating bolt first engages the relatively undeformed lower threads.

These threads guide the bolt into alignment.

As the bolt advances, it reaches the distorted locking section.

The interference between the locking threads and mating bolt produces prevailing torque.

Key Engineering Characteristics

  • All-metal locking construction.

  • No nylon locking insert.

  • Locking interference near the upper thread region.

  • Guided initial thread engagement.

  • Resistance to unintended rotation.

  • Conventional hexagon wrenching geometry.

  • Compatibility with selected industrial fastening applications.

The locking geometry, installation direction and torque performance must follow the approved product drawing.

Metal-Stop vs. Spring-Stop Locknuts

Metal-stop and spring-stop locking mechanisms should not be treated as identical.

Top-Lock Distorted-Thread Metal-Stop Nuts

Use controlled deformation of the nut's internal thread or body to generate locking interference.

Spring-Stop Locknuts

May use formed metallic spring prongs or a separate metallic friction ring.

The spring feature elastically engages the mating bolt.

Engineering Difference

A distorted-thread locknut relies on the geometry of the deformed thread.

A spring-stop locknut relies on an elastic spring element.

The two designs may differ in:

  • Prevailing torque.

  • Installation effort.

  • Reuse performance.

  • Locking element durability.

  • Manufacturing process.

  • Functional testing requirements.

The actual construction must be verified before selecting the correct product family.

Metal-Stop vs. Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Nylon-insert locknuts use a polymer insert to create locking resistance.

All-metal distorted-thread locknuts use metallic interference.

Potential advantages of all-metal designs include:

  • No nylon insert.

  • Metallic locking construction.

  • Potential suitability for selected elevated-temperature environments.

  • Compatibility with certain vibration-exposed assemblies.

However, the operating temperature capability depends on the material, manufacturing process and service environment.

All-metal construction does not automatically establish unlimited temperature resistance or superior performance in every application.

A2-70 Stainless Steel Material

A2 is an austenitic stainless steel fastener material group commonly associated with 18-8-type stainless steel compositions.

The designation A2-70 identifies both the stainless steel material group and a mechanical property class.

Under ISO 3506-2, the property class of a regular or high stainless steel nut relates to its specified proof-load performance.

Engineering Considerations

A2-70 stainless steel may be relevant to:

  • General industrial machinery.

  • Indoor equipment.

  • Outdoor equipment with suitable environmental exposure.

  • Mechanical support brackets.

  • Selected electrical and electronic equipment assemblies.

Suitability depends on the actual environment and mechanical requirements.

SUS316 Stainless Steel Material

SUS316 is a Japanese stainless steel material designation.

It is commonly associated with molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel used where improved corrosion resistance is required.

Potential applications include:

  • Chemical processing equipment.

  • Marine-adjacent machinery.

  • Food processing equipment.

  • Pharmaceutical equipment.

  • Outdoor industrial equipment.

  • Selected process equipment.

Important Material Distinction

SUS316 is a material grade designation.

A4-70 is a stainless steel fastener material-group and mechanical-property designation.

Although these designations may be related in commercial sourcing, they are not automatically equivalent.

For an OEM project, confirm:

  • Chemical composition.

  • Required mechanical property class.

  • Proof-load requirements.

  • Manufacturing condition.

  • Applicable standard.

  • Material traceability.

A2 Stainless Steel vs. SUS316

A2 stainless steel is commonly selected for general corrosion-resistant industrial fastening.

SUS316 may be considered for environments involving more demanding corrosion exposure.

Selection Factors

  • Chloride concentration.

  • Chemical exposure.

  • Operating temperature.

  • Surface condition.

  • Cleaning chemicals.

  • Mechanical loading.

  • Cost.

  • Availability.

Neither material is universally corrosion-proof.

The final grade should be selected according to the actual service environment.

Natural Stainless Steel Surface Finish

The original product specification identifies a natural stainless steel finish.

A natural finish generally means that the product retains the metallic appearance of the stainless steel surface without an additional decorative coating.

Potential finishing requirements may include:

  • Deburring.

  • Cleaning.

  • Surface appearance control.

  • Passivation.

  • Electropolishing.

  • Customer-specific surface treatment.

These additional processes must be specified separately.

RoHS Compliance and Surface Treatment

The product has been described as RoHS-compliant.

For stainless steel fasteners, compliance should be supported by the applicable material and process documentation.

RoHS compliance does not mean that a component must be zinc plated.

Natural stainless steel products can be evaluated against the applicable restricted-substance requirements.

If an OEM requires iridescent zinc plating or another coating, that request must be reviewed separately.

Important Coating Note

The original specification identifies a natural stainless steel finish.

Iridescent zinc plating is not established as the standard finish for this product.

Do not describe the featured product as zinc plated unless the actual manufacturing specification confirms it.

Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel Locknuts

Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance through its chromium-containing passive surface.

Actual performance depends on:

  • Stainless steel grade.

  • Surface condition.

  • Chloride exposure.

  • Chemical exposure.

  • Temperature.

  • Crevice geometry.

  • Contact with dissimilar metals.

  • Cleaning procedures.

A2 Applications

A2 stainless steel may be suitable for many general industrial environments.

SUS316 Applications

SUS316 may be considered for certain environments involving increased chloride or chemical exposure.

However, neither grade guarantees resistance to every corrosive condition.

Galvanic Corrosion Considerations

When stainless steel fasteners contact dissimilar metals, galvanic corrosion may occur under suitable environmental conditions.

Potential considerations include:

  • Contact with aluminum.

  • Contact with carbon steel.

  • Moisture exposure.

  • Electrical continuity.

  • Relative exposed surface areas.

Insulating components or other approved design measures may be considered where appropriate.

Stainless Steel Thread Galling

Thread galling is an important engineering consideration for stainless steel nuts and bolts.

Galling is adhesive wear that may occur when contacting metallic surfaces slide under pressure.

It can cause:

  • Increased installation torque.

  • Thread damage.

  • Seizing.

  • Difficulty during removal.

  • Inconsistent assembly performance.

Factors Increasing Galling Risk

  • High contact pressure.

  • Rapid installation.

  • Incorrect thread alignment.

  • Damaged threads.

  • Inadequate lubrication.

  • Unsuitable material combinations.

  • Repeated installation.

Potential Engineering Controls

  • Select compatible mating materials.

  • Verify thread geometry.

  • Avoid cross-threading.

  • Control installation speed.

  • Use approved lubrication where permitted.

  • Validate tightening procedures.

  • Inspect threads before reuse.

Lubrication changes friction and may affect clamp force.

For critical OEM joints, lubrication and tightening requirements should be validated together.

DIN 980:1987 Standard Reference

DIN 980:1987 is a historical German standard associated with all-metal prevailing-torque hexagon nuts.

It has been withdrawn.

The actual modern standard depends on the product geometry and thread configuration.

DIN 980 Type V

Type V refers to a single-piece all-metal locking construction using deformation of the metallic nut structure.

DIN 980 Type M

Type M refers to a construction using an additional metallic locking element.

The two types should not be treated as identical.

ISO 7719:2025

ISO 7719:2025 specifies prevailing-torque all-metal regular hexagon nuts in steel and stainless steel.

It covers metric coarse-pitch thread sizes from M5 to M39.

The standard provides a relevant modern reference for this product family.

However, conformity must be verified against the actual dimensions and mechanical properties.

ISO 7042

ISO 7042 is relevant to specified high prevailing-torque all-metal hexagon nut configurations.

It should not automatically be applied to regular-height nuts.

ISO 3506-2

ISO 3506-2 specifies mechanical properties for corrosion-resistant stainless steel nuts.

It provides relevant requirements for stainless steel grade and mechanical property designations.

ISO 2320

ISO 2320 provides functional requirements and test methods for prevailing-torque steel nuts within its defined scope.

For stainless steel nuts, the applicable test requirements must be verified against the governing product standard and customer specification.

Prevailing-Torque Performance

Prevailing torque is the resistance generated by the locking feature before significant clamp force develops.

Prevailing-On Torque

Resistance encountered as the nut advances along the mating bolt.

Prevailing-Off Torque

Resistance encountered during removal after the joint clamp force has been relieved.

Clamp Force

The compressive force developed in the joint through bolt tension.

Prevailing torque is not the same as clamp force.

The tightening procedure must account for the locking resistance and actual friction conditions.

Can Stainless Steel Metal-Stop Locknuts Be Reused?

Reuse depends on the actual locking mechanism and product specification.

For distorted-thread locknuts, repeated installation can change the locking interference and reduce prevailing torque.

Some commercial distorted-thread products are designated non-reusable.

Spring-stop products may have different reuse characteristics.

Therefore, the featured product must not be advertised as indefinitely reusable without functional test evidence.

For critical OEM applications, follow the approved replacement and maintenance requirements.

Metric Thread Sizes

The original product range lists:

  • M5

  • M6

  • M8

  • M10

  • M12

  • M14

  • M16

  • M20

Common metric coarse-thread references include:

  • M5 × 0.8

  • M6 × 1.0

  • M8 × 1.25

  • M10 × 1.5

  • M12 × 1.75

  • M14 × 2.0

  • M16 × 2.0

  • M20 × 2.5

These are engineering references.

The actual pitch and thread tolerance must be confirmed for each ordered product.

Metric Fine-Pitch Requirements

Some OEM assemblies require metric fine-pitch threads.

Potential engineering considerations include:

  • Thread geometry.

  • Mating bolt compatibility.

  • Nut height.

  • Locking interference.

  • Mechanical properties.

  • Functional testing.

  • Manufacturing feasibility.

Fine-pitch availability must be confirmed separately.

Metric vs. UNC and UNF Threads

American buyers may search for similar stainless steel locking nuts using UNC or UNF terminology.

However, the original product range is metric.

Metric and Unified inch-series threads are not directly interchangeable.

For example:

  • M6 × 1.0 is not interchangeable with 1/4"-20 UNC.

  • M8 × 1.25 is not interchangeable with 5/16"-18 UNC.

  • M10 × 1.5 is not interchangeable with 3/8"-16 UNC.

Inch-series requirements must be evaluated as separate product specifications.
