    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is ASTM F467 alloy 686 (UNS N06686)?

    UNS N06686 is alloy 686, listed in Table 1 of ASTM F467-13ε2 as Ni-Cr-Mo-W. Key composition limits: chromium 19.0-23.0 %, molybdenum 15.0-17.0 %, tungsten 3.0-4.4 %, iron 5.0 % max, nickel balance. Nickel alloy raw material is covered by ASTM B574 (4.1.1).

    What hardness and proof stress do F467 alloy 686 nuts need?

    Table 2 lists 4 strength grades for alloy 686. Grade 1: 21 HRC min, 120 ksi hex, 130 ksi heavy hex, marking F 467BN; Grade 2: 23 HRC min, 135 ksi hex, 146 ksi heavy hex, marking F 467CN; Grade 3: 25 HRC min, 160 ksi hex, 173 ksi heavy hex, marking F 467DN; Grade 4: 65 HRB to 25 HRC min, 100 ksi hex, 108 ksi heavy hex, marking F 467EN. Heavy hex values are 1.08 times the hex nut value (note B). Where both proof load and hardness are tested, proof load governs acceptance (6.2).

    What is the proof load of a 1/2-13 UNC F467 alloy 686 nut?

    Proof load is the Table 2 proof stress times the Table 4 tensile stress area (13.2.1, tested per ASTM F606). For 1/2-13 UNC the stress area is 0.1419 sq in, giving: Grade 1 17,028 lbf hex, 18,447 lbf heavy hex; Grade 2 19,156 lbf hex, 20,717 lbf heavy hex; Grade 3 22,704 lbf hex, 24,549 lbf heavy hex; Grade 4 14,190 lbf hex, 15,325 lbf heavy hex.

    How are F467 alloy 686 nuts marked and supplied?

    Each nut carries the manufacturer's symbol and the Table 2 marking F 467BN / F 467CN / F 467DN / F 467EN, raised or depressed (17.1). Unless otherwise specified, dimensions are to ASME B18.2.2 (7.1), threads are Class 2B to ASME B1.1 (7.2) and nuts are furnished without any additive chemical or metallic finish (8.2). Mating bolts, cap screws and studs are covered by ASTM F468 (1.2).
