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 |

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.
