    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is ASTM F467 alloy 276 (UNS N10276)?

    UNS N10276 is alloy 276, listed in Table 1 of ASTM F467-13ε2 as Ni-Mo-Cr. Key composition limits: chromium 14.5-16.5 %, molybdenum 15.0-17.0 %, tungsten 3.0-4.5 %, iron 4.0-7.0 %, nickel balance. Nickel alloy raw material is covered by ASTM B574 (4.1.1).

    What hardness and proof stress do F467 alloy 276 nuts need?

    Table 2 requires a minimum hardness of 20 HRC and a minimum proof stress of 110 ksi for hex nuts and 119 ksi for heavy hex nuts. 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 276 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, so a hex nut must carry 15,609 lbf (110 ksi) and a heavy hex nut 16,886 lbf (119 ksi) without failure.

    How are F467 alloy 276 nuts marked and supplied?

    Each nut carries the manufacturer's symbol and the Table 2 marking F 467T, 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).
