Stainless 304/316 Clinching Nut Stock Expansion

Stainless 304/316 Clinching Nut Stock Expansion

To meet corrosion resistance demands from coastal engineering, outdoor cabinets and marine equipment, the clinching nut range has expanded 304 and 316 stainless stock from M3 to M8 in flat and countersunk head styles.

When to Use 304 vs 316

304 stainless clinching nuts suit indoor cabinets, telecom equipment and general outdoor environments with good cost performance. 316 stainless, containing molybdenum, is better for coastal high-salt-spray, chemical and marine environments with superior pitting resistance. Customers can select by service environment.

Broader Stock Sizes

The expansion covers common grip ranges of 304/316 flat and countersunk clinching nuts. Common lengths are in stock for urgent small orders. Special lengths and flange styles remain available as custom drawings.

Quality and Testing

Stainless clinching nuts undergo spectral material checks, hardness and pull-out tests before shipment, with test reports for critical batches to ensure no loosening or pull-out after assembly.
