1、Designation: A 563 07aStandard Specification forCarbons and Alloy Steel Nuts1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 563; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parenthe

2、ses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification2covers chemical and mechanicalrequirements for eigh

3、t grades of carbon and alloy steel nuts forgeneral structural and mechanical uses on bolts, studs, andother externally threaded parts.NOTE 1See Appendix X1 for guidance on suitable application of nutgrades.1.2 The requirements for any grade of nut may, at thesuppliers option, and with notice to the

4、purchaser, be fulfilledby furnishing nuts of one of the stronger grades specifiedherein unless such substitution is barred in the inquiry andpurchase order.1.3 Grades C3 and DH3 nuts have atmospheric corrosionresistance and weathering characteristics comparable to that ofthe steels covered in Specif

5、ications A 242/A 242M, A 588/A 588M, and A 709/A 709M. The atmospheric corrosionresistance of these steels is substantially better than that ofcarbon steel with or without copper addition (see 5.2). Whenproperly exposed to the atmosphere, these steels can be usedbare (uncoated) for many applications
