Akor Stainless is a reputable manufacturer and supplier based in Abuja, Nigeria, known for its top-notch Stainless Steel 422 Nuts. These nuts are designed for exceptional strength, hardness, and impressive heat resistance. Perfect for high-temperature and high-stress environments, these martensitic stainless steel nuts are crafted with precision to ensure tight dimensional accuracy and a superior surface finish, meeting the rigorous standards of various industries. Whether in aerospace, power generation, or chemical sectors, Stainless Steel 422 Nuts provide reliable fastening performance, excelling in conditions where oxidation resistance, durability, and mechanical stability are crucial under thermal and mechanical loads.
Stainless Steel 422 Nuts are made up of 11–13% chromium, 1–1.5% molybdenum, and 0.2–0.35% carbon, with added tungsten and vanadium to boost hardness and creep strength. This martensitic alloy boasts a tensile strength ranging from 690–965 MPa, a yield strength of around 480 MPa, and can reach a hardness of up to 45 HRC after heat treatment. It offers excellent oxidation resistance up to 650°C and maintains impressive mechanical stability at high temperatures. SS 422 also provides good corrosion resistance in mild atmospheric and steam conditions, making it a great choice for high-stress fastening applications.
