The Grade 10 Nuts with specified proof load values - coarse thread
The ISO 898-2:2013 Grade 10 specification covers carbon steel nuts ranging from M-6 to M-64 diameter. We use high carbon steel material and high alloy steel raw materials to achieve the required properties of grade 10. There are three popular grades in this standard 8, 10 and 12 which denote material hardness Strength and their respective mechanical properties. Refer to the Mechanical Properties Chart for the subtle Strength differences within each grade.
