When reliability and stability are non-negotiable, our
Stainless Steel Serrated Hex Flange Nuts stand as the ultimate fastening solution. Manufactured to meet the rigorous standards of
DIN 6923 and
GB6177, these
hex flange nuts combine robust mechanical performance with exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideal for demanding industrial and commercial applications.
Available in SS201, SS304 (A2-70), and SS316 (A4-80) grades, these serrated flange nuts are engineered to excel in high-vibration environments, corrosive conditions, and heavy-duty assemblies. The lock nut with flange design integrates multiple functions into a single component, eliminating the need for separate washers and anti-vibration accessories. Whether you’re working on solar panel mounting hardware, automotive fasteners, or marine-grade equipment, these metric stainless steel flange nuts deliver consistent, long-lasting performance.
Self-Locking Design: Unmatched Anti-Vibration Performance
The defining feature of our
serrated flange nuts is the precision-machined serrated base. These sharp, angled teeth bite into the mating surface during installation, creating a powerful friction lock that resists loosening caused by vibration, thermal cycling, and dynamic loads. Unlike standard lock nuts that rely on nylon inserts or split washers, this mechanical locking mechanism remains effective even after repeated temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for automotive and industrial applications. The serrated flange acts as a built-in anti-vibration washer, ensuring your assemblies stay secure in the harshest conditions.
Superior Corrosion Resistance: Built to Withstand the Elements
Our corrosion-resistant flange nuts are available in two primary stainless steel grades, each tailored to different environmental challenges:
- 304 Stainless Steel (A2-70): The most versatile option, offering excellent resistance to general atmospheric corrosion, making it perfect for indoor, outdoor, and mildly corrosive environments.
- 316 Stainless Steel (A4-80 / Marine Grade): Formulated with added molybdenum, this grade provides enhanced resistance to chloride ions, saltwater, and chemical corrosion, making it the preferred choice for marine, coastal, and chemical processing applications.
Both grades are passivated and polished to a bright, reflective finish, further improving corrosion resistance and ensuring long-term performance. For applications requiring budget-friendly corrosion protection, we also offer 201 stainless steel hex nuts, which provide good performance in low-corrosion environments.
Integrated Washer Design: Simplify Installation, Enhance Stability
The wide flange on our hex flange nuts eliminates the need for separate washers, reducing assembly time and part count. This integrated design offers two critical benefits:
- Even Load Distribution: The flange spreads clamping pressure over a larger surface area, preventing damage to soft or thin materials and reducing the risk of surface deformation.
- Increased Stability: The wider base provides greater contact area with the mating surface, improving the nut’s resistance to tipping and rotation, even under high torque loads.
This combination of features makes our heavy-duty serrated flange nuts a cost-effective solution for any project requiring reliable, vibration-resistant fastening.
Standard Compliance: Global Quality Assurance
Every DIN 6923 flange nut we produce adheres to strict manufacturing standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy, mechanical performance, and interchangeability with components from other manufacturers. The GB6177 standard further validates our commitment to quality, making these nuts suitable for use in international engineering projects, OEM assemblies, and custom applications.

3. Applications
The versatility of our stainless steel flange nuts makes them suitable for a wide range of industries and applications:
Solar Energy Systems
In solar panel mounting hardware, our serrated flange nuts play a critical role in securing PV panels, mounting rails, and support structures. The anti-vibration design ensures the nuts remain tight despite constant exposure to wind, thermal expansion, and environmental stress. Both 304 and 316 stainless steel flange nuts are commonly used in solar installations, with 316 grade preferred for coastal or high-moisture environments to prevent corrosion.
Automotive Manufacturing
The automotive industry relies on hex flange nuts for securing chassis components, engine parts, suspension systems, and exhaust assemblies. The serrated flange’s resistance to vibration is particularly valuable in vehicles, where constant movement and engine vibration can cause standard nuts to loosen over time. Our heavy-duty serrated flange nuts meet the durability requirements of OEM and aftermarket automotive applications.
Construction and Architecture
In construction, stainless steel flange nuts are used in structural steel connections, scaffolding, and facade systems. The integrated washer design simplifies installation on construction sites, while the corrosion-resistant properties ensure long-term performance in outdoor applications. For projects near coastal areas or industrial zones, 316 marine-grade fasteners provide the necessary protection against saltwater and chemical corrosion.
Marine and Offshore Equipment
Marine environments present some of the most challenging conditions for fasteners, with saltwater, humidity, and constant vibration leading to rapid corrosion and loosening. Our 316 stainless steel flange nuts (A4-80 / Marine Grade) are specifically engineered to withstand these harsh conditions, offering superior resistance to chloride corrosion and maintaining their locking performance in high-moisture environments. They are commonly used in boat building, offshore platforms, and marine equipment assemblies.
Industrial Machinery
From conveyor systems to manufacturing equipment, industrial machinery requires fasteners that can handle continuous vibration and heavy loads. Our lock nut with flange design provides the reliability needed for these applications, ensuring that critical components remain securely fastened even under extreme operating conditions.
General Engineering and DIY Projects
For general engineering projects and DIY applications, our metric stainless steel flange nuts offer a versatile solution for fastening wood, metal, and plastic components. The bright polished finish also makes them suitable for applications where aesthetics are important, such as furniture assembly and decorative metalwork.

6. FAQ
Q: What is the advantage of a serrated flange nut?
A: The serrated flange design provides two key benefits: first, the sharp teeth bite into the mating surface, creating a powerful friction lock that resists loosening caused by vibration and thermal cycling. Second, the wide flange acts as an integrated washer, distributing clamping pressure evenly and eliminating the need for separate washers. This combination results in a more secure, stable, and cost-effective fastening solution.
Q: Can I use 304 stainless steel flange nuts in marine environments?
A: While 304 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, it is not recommended for marine or coastal applications where saltwater exposure is frequent. The chloride ions in saltwater can cause pitting corrosion in 304 grade stainless steel over time. For marine environments, we strongly recommend our 316 stainless steel flange nuts (A4-80 / Marine Grade), which contain molybdenum to provide enhanced resistance to chloride corrosion.
Q: Are these nuts compatible with standard metric bolts?
A: Yes, our metric stainless steel flange nuts are manufactured to DIN 6923 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard metric bolts and threaded studs. The thread tolerances are strictly controlled to provide a precise fit with matching bolts.
Q: Do I need to use washers with these flange nuts?
A: No, the integrated flange on our hex flange nuts eliminates the need for separate washers. The flange is designed to distribute load and protect the mating surface, providing the same function as a standard washer while reducing assembly complexity.
