Overview

A Carbon Steel Grade 6.8/8.8 Zinc Plated Non-standard Metal Stamping Flat Rectangle Two Hole Nut is a highly specialized fastener engineered for specific industrial applications. Combining the strength of carbon steel (grades 6.8 or 8.8) with the corrosion protection of zinc plating, this nut is produced through metal stamping into a flat, rectangular shape with two precisely placed holes. Its “non-standard” designation indicates a custom design tailored to unique fastening requirements where off-the-shelf nuts are insufficient.

Definition

A Carbon Steel Grade 6.8/8.8 Zinc Plated Non-standard Metal Stamping Flat Rectangle Two Hole Nut is a custom-fabricated fastener made from high-strength carbon steel (either Grade 6.8 or 8.8), featuring a zinc-plated finish for enhanced corrosion resistance. It is produced via a metal stamping process, resulting in a flat, rectangular profile with two strategically positioned holes, designed to meet specific fastening criteria in specialized assemblies or structural applications where standard nuts cannot be used.

Advantages

• High Strength: Made from Grade 6.8 or 8.8 carbon steel, providing excellent tensile strength and load-bearing capacity for demanding applications.
• Corrosion Resistance: Zinc plating offers effective protection against rust and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the fastener in various environments.
• Custom Design: Being “non-standard” and produced by stamping, its dimensions, hole spacing, and thickness can be precisely tailored to specific application requirements, ensuring a perfect fit and function.
• Enhanced Stability: The flat, rectangular shape with two holes often allows for a more stable and secure connection compared to single-hole or standard hex nuts, particularly in applications requiring resistance to rotation or precise alignment.
• Cost-Effective for Volume: Metal stamping is an efficient production method for high volumes of custom parts, potentially offering cost advantages for large-scale projects requiring this specialized nut.
• Flush Mounting: The flat design can enable flush or low-profile mounting, which is beneficial in applications with space constraints or aesthetic considerations.

Applications

• Automotive Industry: Used in specific vehicle assemblies where custom fastening solutions are required due to unique design constraints or load distribution needs.
• Heavy Machinery and Equipment: Employed in the construction of industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and heavy-duty components where robust, tailored fasteners are essential.
• Electrical Enclosures and Cabinets: Suitable for securing internal components or mounting electrical systems within enclosures, especially where precise alignment and a stable connection are critical.
• Structural Steel Fabrication: Utilized in custom steel structures or frameworks where standard nuts do not provide the necessary footprint or hole configuration for specific joint designs.
• Specialized Mounting and Bracketing: Ideal for custom brackets, fixtures, or mounting applications that require a non-standard fastening point with high strength and corrosion resistance.
• Renewable Energy Systems: Can be found in certain parts of wind turbines, solar panel mounting systems (if custom plates are needed), or other energy infrastructure requiring specialized, durable fasteners.
