Gunmetal G3 Wing Nuts manufactured at TorqBolt are wear and cavitation resistant with excellent impact properties.
Dimensional standards as per DIN 321 are provided.
The raw material of these fasteners is classified as Non-Ferrous Alloys. Being a PED certified Fasteners Manufacturer by TUV Rheinland,our fasteners are accompanied with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certification. Gunmetal G3 Wing Nuts are available in hot forged,cold forged and bar stock machined conditions depending upon the order quantity.
Gunmetal G3 Wing nuts are internally threaded fasteners that mate with bolts and studs to form clamped joints. TorqBolt manufactures Gunmetal G3 Wing nuts per ASME B18.2.2, ISO 4032/4033/4034, DIN 934/EN 24032, and DIN 6915 (heavy hex), in sizes M6–M100 and 1/4"–4".
Nut Height Categories
Standard / regular hex nut — ~0.875×D height, ASME B18.2.2 Type 1
Heavy hex nut — ~D height, full strength matched to bolt grade (A194 2H pattern)
Jam / thin nut — 0.5×D height, used as locknut against a primary nut
Coupling nut — long-form for joining two threaded rods
Cap / acorn nut — closed-end, decorative + thread protection
Locking Variants
For vibration-loaded joints, Gunmetal G3 Wing nuts are available as nyloc (polymer insert), all-metal prevailing-torque (DIN 980, distorted-thread style), flange-serrated (DIN 6923, integral washer face with anti-back-off teeth), and castle / slotted (DIN 935, cotter-pin retention). Each locking style trades reusability against prevailing-torque retention.
Thread & Mechanical
Gunmetal G3 Wing nut threads are gauged per ASME B1.1 / ISO 965 to Class 2B / 6H by default; high-strength variants use 3B / 4H6H. Proof-load testing per ASTM F606 verifies the nut can develop the bolt's full strength without thread strip; hardness range is controlled to prevent stress-corrosion susceptibility (HV 250–353 typical for high-grade nuts). Each lot is EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certified.
Special Patterns
TorqBolt also produces Gunmetal G3 Wing nuts in weld-nut, T-nut, square-nut, knurled thumb-nut, and rivet-nut patterns. NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 sour-service certification available; NORSOK M-650 qualified mills supplying high-temperature service grades.
Bronze alloys are copper-based alloys with tin, aluminium, silicon, manganese, or phosphorus alloying additions, each tuned for a specific tribological or environmental envelope. Bronzes deliver excellent bearing properties, marine corrosion resistance, and non-sparking + non-magnetic characteristics — specified for marine fasteners, electrical hardware, oil + gas wellhead components, and industries where sparks must be avoided.
Phosphor bronze (Cu-Sn-P, e.g. C51000, C52400) combines high yield strength + fatigue with seawater corrosion resistance — the standard for marine + spring fasteners. Silicon bronze (Cu-Si, e.g. C65500) is the marine-grade weldable alloy popular for boat fasteners and architectural cladding. Aluminium bronze (Cu-Al, e.g. C95400/C95500/C95800) achieves yield ~310-585 MPa with outstanding seawater + cavitation resistance — the workhorse for marine pump impellers and propeller hub bolting. Gunmetal (Cu-Sn-Zn-Pb, e.g. C90500) is the historic naval bronze for valves and trim. Leaded bronze adds Pb for free-machining + bearing applications.
Bronze fasteners ship per ASTM B98 (rod/bar) and B584 (sand cast) with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates covering composition, hardness, and ASTM B66 ammonia stress-corrosion testing where service exposure warrants.
