Set of 150 Silver aluminum hex nuts in mixed metric sizes from M3 to M10. These lightweight, silver-finished nuts are intended for non-structural assemblies and applications where reduced weight and corrosion resistance are beneficial. The assortment covers common sizes for small repairs, hobby projects, prototype assemblies, and electronics housings, providing a convenient selection for general maintenance and light metalwork.
Advantages
Aluminum construction offers low weight and good resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared with untreated steel, while the hex shape ensures compatibility with standard wrenches and sockets. The mixed-size set simplifies procurement by supplying multiple commonly used diameters in one package, reducing the need to buy single sizes separately. Non-magnetic properties make these nuts suitable for use near sensitive electronics and instruments.

How to use
Select the appropriate nut size for the bolt or threaded stud being used. Hand-start the nut onto the thread to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a suitable hex wrench, socket, or spanner to the torque recommended for aluminum fasteners of the chosen size. For repeated assembly or higher-load applications, consider using a compatible washer and avoid overtightening, as aluminum has lower shear strength than steel.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use these aluminum nuts in non-structural or light-load situations and pair them with bolts of compatible material to minimize galvanic corrosion. When fastening in environments with potential galvanic contact, consider insulating washers or choosing fasteners with similar electrochemical properties.
