Hastelloy B3 Nylon Lock nuts are internally threaded fasteners that mate with bolts and studs to form clamped joints. TorqBolt manufactures Hastelloy B3 Nylon Lock 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".
For vibration-loaded joints, Hastelloy B3 Nylon Lock 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.
Hastelloy B3 Nylon Lock 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.
TorqBolt also produces Hastelloy B3 Nylon Lock 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.
Hastelloy is the trade designation for a family of nickel-chromium-molybdenum (and nickel-molybdenum) alloys formulated for severe wet-corrosion service: hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, and sour wells.
Hastelloy C-276 (UNS N10276) is the workhorse: ~16% Cr, 16% Mo, 4% W gives unmatched resistance to oxidizing + reducing chloride media, the only nickel alloy resistant to wet chlorine + hypochlorite. Hastelloy C-22 (N06022) is upgraded with higher Cr for better oxidizing-acid performance. Hastelloy C-2000 (N06200) adds Cu for superior performance across the full pH range. Hastelloy B-3 (N10675) is Ni-Mo for hot HCl service. Hastelloy G-35 (N06035) targets phosphoric-acid plants.
Hastelloy fasteners ship per ASTM B574 / B575 (rod/bar/plate), with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certification including PMI and intergranular-corrosion testing per ASTM G28. The ASTM A193 grade B14 + B7M designations cover Hastelloy bolting for ASME pressure-vessel use. NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 sour-service compliance is standard. Welding requires matching filler metal (Ernicrmo-4 for C-276) with no post-weld solution anneal.
