Nickel 201 Hex nuts are internally threaded fasteners that mate with bolts and studs to form clamped joints. TorqBolt manufactures Nickel 201 Hex 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, Nickel 201 Hex 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.
Nickel 201 Hex 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 Nickel 201 Hex 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.
Commercially-pure nickel grades (UNS N02200, N02201) are used where the application demands maximum nickel chemistry purity: electrical conductivity, magnetostriction, hot-caustic resistance, or food / pharmaceutical contact. Pure nickel is non-magnetic above its Curie point, weldable without filler in thin sections, and resistant to dry chlorine, fluorine, and hot caustic solutions where stainless steels fail.
Nickel 200 (N02200, >99% Ni, max 0.15% C) is the general-purpose grade for chemical-process and electroplating equipment. Nickel 201 (N02201, max 0.02% C) is the low-carbon variant required for service above 315°C to prevent graphitization that would destroy mechanical properties. Nickel 205 is the magnetic-grade variant. Nickel 270 (N02270) is high-purity electronics grade.
Pure nickel fasteners are supplied per ASTM B160 (rod/bar) and AMS 4730 with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates including chemistry, hardness (HV 100-160 annealed, up to 250 cold-worked), and tensile testing. NACE MR0175 sour-service is qualified in the annealed condition. Welding uses pure-nickel filler (ENi-1) with copper-oxide-free flux to prevent weld embrittlement.
