For use with ASTM F593 fasteners, ASTM F594 specifies the chemical and mechanical properties of stainless steel nuts with diameters ranging from 1/4 to 1-1/2 inches, inclusive. These nuts come in seven different alloy groups and are designed to be used in a variety of situations. Here is a list of the most prevalent grades in the ASTM F594 specification. There are a few other ASTM F594 grades that aren't listed here due of their rarity. The mechanical table is confined to the most common alloy groups 1 and 2, but the chemical table is limited to the most common alloy grades used for each alloy group.
