The ASTM F836M standard specifies the chemical and mechanical requirements for Metric Hex Nuts, Square Nuts, and Flange Nuts with nominal thread sizes ranging from M1.6 to M36 and intended for use in engineering applications requiring general corrosion resistance. Three austenitic (Grades A1, A2, and A4) stainless steel alloys are discussed, as well as one ferritic (Grade F1), three martensitic (Grades C1, C3, and C4), and one precipitation hardening stainless steel alloy (Grade P1). There are nine austenitic property classes, one ferritic property class, six martensitic property classes, and one precipitation hardening property class covered.
