Fractional Sizes Hex Jam Nuts Baked Yellow Zinc Plating
Hex Head Jam Nuts with Baked Yellow Zinc Cr6 Plating
Hex head jam nuts with baked yellow zinc Cr6 plating are a heavy-duty fastening solution engineered for strength, durability, and enhanced corrosion resistance. Commonly used in automotive, construction, and industrial machinery applications, these jam nuts are designed to withstand vibration, mechanical stress, and exposure to harsh environments. The baked yellow zinc Cr6 finish provides a distinctive appearance while delivering superior protection against rust and wear.
What Are Baked Yellow Zinc Cr6 Plated Hex Head Jam Nuts?
Low-Profile Locking Performance
A hex head jam nut is a thin, low-profile nut designed to lock another nut or bolt in place. When tightened against a primary fastener, the jam nut creates friction that resists loosening caused by vibration, torque, or repeated movement. The hexagonal shape allows for easy installation using standard hand tools.
Baked Yellow Zinc Cr6 Coating
Baked yellow zinc Cr6 plating is applied through a chromate conversion process followed by baking, which enhances coating adhesion and durability. This process creates a robust protective layer that significantly improves corrosion resistance while delivering a recognizable yellow finish often specified in automotive and industrial applications.
Key Features and Specifications
Material Strength
Hex head jam nuts with baked yellow zinc Cr6 plating are typically manufactured from high-strength carbon steel or steel alloys. This construction provides excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to mechanical stress.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Compared to standard zinc coatings, baked yellow zinc Cr6 plating offers increased resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and environmental wear. This makes these jam nuts well suited for use in outdoor installations, high-humidity areas, and environments exposed to chemicals or temperature extremes.
Sizes and Thread Options
These jam nuts are available in a wide range of sizes, including common Fractional sizes such as 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". Both metric and imperial thread options are offered to ensure compatibility with various bolts and fasteners.
Common Applications
