Square Weld Nuts (DIN 928) - Marine Stainless Steel (A4)

Square Weld Nuts (DIN 928) – Marine Stainless Steel A4 (SUS316)

FULLERKREG DIN 928 square weld nuts in marine-grade stainless steel A4 (SUS316) deliver superior corrosion resistance compared to standard A2 grade, making them the preferred choice for marine, offshore, chemical processing, coastal outdoor, and food & pharmaceutical equipment. The molybdenum addition in SUS316 significantly enhances resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion — critical in welded assemblies where the heat-affected zone is particularly vulnerable. Four precision weld projections on the bearing face concentrate heat during resistance welding for consistent, high-strength weld joints. The square body provides excellent anti-rotation resistance in the parent material.

Welding Guide

Parameter Guidance
Welding Method Resistance projection welding (spot welding machine)
Parent Material Stainless steel, mild steel, or duplex sheet (0.8–3.0 mm)
Projection Function 4 projections concentrate current for consistent weld nugget formation
Electrode Force Adjust per sheet thickness; higher force for thicker panels
Post-weld Treatment Passivation strongly recommended to restore A4 corrosion resistance at weld HAZ
Thread Protection Use thread protector plug during welding to prevent spatter in thread
Marine Environment Note Ensure full passivation of weld zone; unpassivated HAZ may exhibit reduced chloride resistance

Selection Guide

Application Scenario Recommended Size Reason
Marine & offshore structures M5 – M12 A4 SUS316 resists saltwater chloride attack at weld zone
Chemical processing equipment M5 – M12 Molybdenum addition enhances acid and chloride resistance
Coastal outdoor installations M4 – M10 Superior pitting resistance in humid salt air environments
Food & pharmaceutical machinery M4 – M8 SUS316 preferred grade for hygienic welded assemblies
Swimming pool & water treatment M5 – M10 Chlorinated water resistance superior to A2
HVAC in corrosive environments M4 – M8 Flush weld on thin sheet, A4 for aggressive atmospheres

Standard Reference

DIN 928 specifies square weld nuts with metric threads and four weld projections, issued by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN). The standard defines body dimensions, projection geometry, and thread tolerances for resistance welding applications. FULLERKREG manufactures these nuts in A4 / SUS316 marine stainless steel with strict conformance to DIN 928 dimensional tolerances, pickled and passivated to maximize corrosion protection — especially critical at the heat-affected weld zone.
