Steel Hex Nut, #4-40 Threads (Pack of 100) 0 inches
Steel Hex Nut, #4-40 Threads (Pack of 100)
Also known as Keps and K-lock nuts, these Hex Nuts include a free-spinning washer, for low-load assemblies. Hex drive systems are driven with a wrench. Steels are designated by a 4 number SAE Steel grade. The first two digits indicate the primary materials used to form the steel. The last 2 digits identify the percentage of carbon for the alloy (in hundredths). The steel used in these fasteners has a tensile strength ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 psi (pounds per square inch). Zinc Plating helps to prevent corrosion. A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.
