18-8 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel
Finish: Plain
Hexagonal shaped internally threaded fastener used in conjuction with a male threaded part with an enlarged circular base and serrations on the bearing surface
The serrations displace natural material on the mating surface when tightened forming a connection that resists loosening
The wide flange diameter will span oversized or poorly aligned holes
Offer a high degree of corrosion resistance and are considered non-magnetic, however cold working can make the fasteners slightly magnetic
Used in products that require general atmospheric corrosion, such as chemical food processing equipment and where aesthetics is a priority
