Grade 2 Hex Head Nut with Cr6 Plating

Enhanced Corrosion Protection for General-Purpose Fastening

A Grade 2 Hex Head Nut with Cr6 plating is a dependable, general-purpose fastener engineered to provide moderate strength with superior corrosion resistance. Commonly used across construction, automotive, machinery, and outdoor applications, this nut offers reliable performance where durability and environmental protection are essential but extreme load capacity is not required.

Material and Strength Grade

Manufactured from carbon steel, Grade 2 hex head nuts are designed for light-duty to standard-duty applications. Grade 2 fasteners provide sufficient tensile strength for non-critical joints, making them a cost-effective solution for everyday fastening needs in mechanical and structural assemblies.

Hex Design and Thread Accuracy

The six-sided hexagonal shape allows for easy installation and removal using standard wrenches or sockets, ensuring consistent torque and a secure fit. Precision-cut internal threads are designed to mate cleanly with corresponding bolts, delivering a tight, dependable connection that performs well under normal vibration and operating conditions.

Cr6 (Hexavalent Chromium) Plating Benefits

Cr6 plating delivers excellent corrosion resistance, offering a higher level of protection than plain or lightly plated finishes. This hexavalent chromium coating creates a durable barrier against rust, moisture, and environmental wear, making it especially suitable for outdoor installations and industrial environments. While highly effective, Cr6 plating is typically selected where performance and longevity are the primary concerns.

Size Availability and Compatibility

Grade 2 Hex Head Nuts with Cr6 plating are available in a broad range of sizes, commonly from 1/4 fractional through 1 fractional diameter, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of bolts and threaded fasteners used in standard assemblies.

Common Applications

• Automotive: Underbody components, brackets, and exterior-mounted hardware

• Construction: Outdoor framing, decking, and general structural fastening

• Machinery: Light equipment and general mechanical assemblies

• Outdoor & DIY Projects: Fencing, fixtures, and equipment exposed to moisture

Reliable Performance in Demanding Environments

With its combination of moderate strength and enhanced corrosion resistance, the Grade 2 Hex Head Nut with Cr6 plating is an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor applications where longevity and dependable fastening matter. It delivers consistent performance, easy installation, and extended service life in a wide range of environments.
