Inconel 686 Nuts manufactured at TorqBolt are corrosion resistant,high temperature resistant with ultimate tensile strength.
Dimensional standards as per ANSI B18.2.2 in imperial and ANSI B18.2.4.6M in metric are provided.
The raw material of these fasteners is renowned as registered trademarks like Inconel,Incoloy,Incoloy Alloys. Being a PED certified Fasteners Manufacturer by TUV Rheinland,our fasteners are accompanied with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certification. Inconel 686 Nuts are available in hot forged,cold forged and bar stock machined conditions depending upon the order quantity.
Inconel Alloy 686 Is An Alloy Designed For Exceptional Corrosion Resistance In A Wide Range Of Extreme Environments. The Alloy Is Used In The Most Extreme Environments Experienced In Chemical Processing. Widely Used In Pollution Control, Pulp And Paper Production And Treatment Of Industrial And Municipal Wastes. Chemical Processing Uses Include Heat Exchangers, Reaction Vessels, Evaporates And Transfer Piping. Air Pollution Control Applications Are Stack Liners, Ducts Dampers, Scrubbers, Stack-gas Reheaters, Fans And Housings.
Inconel 686 nuts are internally threaded fasteners that mate with bolts and studs to form clamped joints. TorqBolt manufactures Inconel 686 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, Inconel 686 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
Inconel 686 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 Inconel 686 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.
Inconel — Nickel-Chromium Superalloys
Inconel alloys are nickel-chromium-based superalloys engineered for service where standard stainless steels cannot survive. The Inconel family combines high-temperature strength (typically retained up to 700-1100°C depending on grade) with outstanding oxidation and chloride-pitting resistance.
The most widely specified grade is Inconel 718, an age-hardenable Ni-Cr-Fe-Mo-Nb composition strengthened by γ' (Ni₃Al,Ti) and γ'' (Ni₃Nb) precipitates after solution + double-age heat treatment per AMS 5662 / 5663. Inconel 625 is solid-solution strengthened by Mo+Nb, supplied in the as-annealed condition, and weldable without post-weld heat treatment. Inconel X-750 uses Ti+Al precipitation hardening for spring + bolt applications to 700°C. Inconel 600 / 601 are general-purpose grades for furnace and heat-exchanger fasteners.
Typical specifications: ASTM B637 (forged bar), AMS 5662/5663 (rod/bar), ASTM B446 (625 bar), DIN 17752/17754 (round/forged). NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 sour-service envelopes available on most grades when supplied in the correct heat-treat condition. PREN values for chloride pitting resistance typically exceed 50 across the Inconel range.
