Full title and description

ASTM F467-24 — Standard Specification for Nonferrous Nuts for General Use. Specifies requirements for commercial wrought nonferrous nuts manufactured in a range of commonly used alloys and intended for general-service fastener applications, including required mechanical and chemical acceptance criteria and marking/identification conventions.

Abstract

This specification covers commercial wrought nonferrous nuts in nominal thread diameters M6 to M36 (0.250 to 1.500 in.) in a number of alloys in common use and intended for general service. Materials and finished nuts are required to conform to specified chemical composition, hardness, proof stress (proof load), and tensile stress requirements; testing and rounding conventions are referenced.

Scope

The standard covers requirements for commercial wrought nonferrous nuts from nominal diameters 0.250 to 1.500 in. (M6 to M36), intended for general service applications. It defines acceptable alloys and conditions, required mechanical properties (hardness, proof stress/proof load, tensile), chemical composition limits, and references companion metric and terminology standards where applicable. Applicable bolts, cap screws, and studs intended for use with these nuts are covered by ASTM F468.

Key topics and requirements

• Materials covered: a range of copper alloys, nickel alloys (Monel, Inconel), aluminum alloys, titanium, and other common nonferrous alloys used for nuts.
• Dimensional / thread coverage: nominal diameters 0.250–1.500 in. (M6–M36).
• Mechanical requirements: hardness limits, minimum proof stress (proof load) values, and minimum tensile stresses as specified by alloy and size.
• Chemical composition: alloy-specific composition requirements and testing to verify conformity.
• Manufacturing conditions: permitted conditions (as-formed, annealed, solution treated/aged, etc.) specified per alloy.
• References and cross-references: metric companion (F467M), applicable bolt/screw specification (F468), and terminology references (F1789).

Typical use and users

Used by fastener manufacturers, quality laboratories, procurement/specification engineers, designers, and maintenance organizations requiring nonferrous nuts for corrosion‑resistant or specialized environments (marine, chemical processing, aerospace/airframe auxiliary components, electrical applications). Also used by testing labs for acceptance sampling and verification.
