    GRADE OVERVIEW

    A194 8M nuts, specified correctly.

    Grade 8M is a 316 stainless nut whose molybdenum content improves chloride pitting resistance over 304, making it a common choice for marine and coastal plant.

    Specify 8M or 8MA, any strain-hardening requirement and anti-galling treatment so the nut matches the stud class.
