Monel K500 Heavy Hex NutUNS N05500 · ASME B18.2.2 · Manufacturer, trader & exporter, India
Alloy K-500 · UNS N05500
A Monel K500 heavy hex nut is a thicker and wider hexagon nut for pressure bolting. ASTM F467 (N05500) where specified, 0.250–1.500 in.; otherwise may be machined from ASTM B865 bar (UNS N05500), where applicable — finished requirements to the purchase specification or project drawing. Heavy hex nuts go with stud bolts on flanges. They spread load better and resist thread stripping at high preload. Made to ASME B18.2.2.

Monel K500 Heavy Hex Nut: Why K500 for heavy hex nuts
Heavy hex nuts go with stud bolts on flanges. They spread load better and resist thread stripping at high preload. Made to ASME B18.2.2. In Monel K500, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy fasteners match nickel-alloy flanges in corrosive or hot service. Monel K500 is picked for high-strength pump shafts, bolting and springs in seawater. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Marine — Propeller and pump shafts. |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs in Monel K500 (bar to ASTM B865, where applicable), as the project specifies |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |
