Stainless steel & special-alloy grade enquiries
State the exact material grade in your RFQ. The following are enquiry options, not a stock list or certification claim. Suitability, manufacturing route and availability require confirmation for this nut design.
| Material requested | Technical information to confirm |
|---|---|
| SS 304 / 304L | Exact material specification; stainless nut grade and strength class where applicable. |
| SS 316 / 316L | Corrosion environment, specified material and required mechanical properties. |
| SS 310 / 310S | Exact grade, service temperature and mechanical requirements; no automatic high-temperature approval. |
| SS 904L | Stainless steel grade request; corrosion environment and applicable product/test specification. |
| HASTELLOY family | Exact alloy designation, material specification and certificate requirements. |
| Alloy 20 | Exact specification, service environment and product-form requirements. |
| MONEL family | Exact alloy designation and required mechanical/product specification. |
| INCONEL family | Exact alloy designation, service temperature and product/test specification. |
ISO 3506-2 stainless nut designations and property classes are separate from commercial SS grade names. Do not infer nut proof load from “SS 304” or “SS 316”, or copy bolt classes such as 8.8/10.9 onto a nut specification. Carbon/alloy steel requests need their own specified nut grade and mechanical requirements.

Technical Selection & Standard Reference
DIN 935-1 is a castle/slotted-nut reference. Confirm the form, slot geometry, standard edition and drilled-shank/pin arrangement from the drawing.
Check before ordering: Slot width/depth, nut height, pin size, drilled-hole alignment and required tightening procedure.
References describe the product family, not certification of a supplied item. Specify the current or contractually required edition; confirm any legacy DIN reference against the actual drawing.
Application Areas
Designed shaft, linkage, hub and equipment retention arrangements.
For oil & gas, pharma, dairy or construction projects, state the actual load, corrosion, hygiene, temperature and approval requirements. Sector names alone do not establish suitability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the split pin establish the correct joint preload?
No. The pin retains the nut against rotation; it does not replace the specified tightening procedure. Confirm preload and slot/hole alignment using the approved assembly method.
How do I request a quotation for castle nut?
Send the nut type, thread diameter and pitch, quantity, material grade, strength or test requirements, standard edition or drawing, finish, application and delivery location. Technical suitability and availability are confirmed with the quotation.
