Nuts are another type of fastener with a threaded hole. Usually, a nut is the counterpart of a bolt. Bolts can hold things together tightly thanks to the nuts. Nuts and bolts are used together to clamp two or more parts having unthreaded holes together. The two are kept together by a combination of several factors including the friction of their threads, stretching of the bolt, and compression of the parts that are to be held together.

Similarly, washers are flattened, circular or disc-shaped piece of metal with a hole that are often used in conjunction with threaded fasteners. They are used to distribute the weight of a threaded fastener, washers are thin plates with a hole that can also be used as spacers, springs, wear pads, and locking device.

Choosing stainless steel material for nuts and washers would offer corrosion resistance. Stainless steel nuts and bolts offer the same benefit. They have an excellent life cycle and are environmentally friendly. They are also resistant to high heat as well as extremely cold temperatures making stainless steel material superior for almost any application.
