Wheel Hex Nut Automobile Benz Iveco Grade 10.9 12.9

Wheel hex nut used to secure a wheel on a vehicle. Typically, wheel hex nut is found on automobiles, trucks (lorries), and other large vehicles using rubber tires. A wheel hex nut is a nut with one rounded or conical (tapered) end, used on steel and most aluminum wheels. A set of wheel hex nut is typically used to secure a wheel to threaded wheel studs and thereby to a vehicle’s axles. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Galvanization, or galvanisation, (or galvanizing as it is most commonly called in that industry), is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent wheel hex nut rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc.

Heat treating makes the wheel hex nut high strength to grade 10.9 or 12.9. Heat treating is a group of industrial and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass. Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve the desired result such as hardening or softening of a material.
