Mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour and the full dimensional range for this grade.

A2 Stainless Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts are supplied to ISO 3506 group A2 (304 / 1.4301), commonly supplied A2-70. Corrosion behaviour is good general corrosion resistance, the material is largely non-magnetic, and the usable service range is approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint. In practice this grade is the most common stainless group for indoor and general outdoor fasteners.

Material page for clinch lantern rivet nuts in A2 Stainless Steel (ISO 3506 group A2 (304 / 1.4301), commonly supplied A2-70). The sizes below are the ones we supply; there is no published dimensional standard for this article, so the table rather than a standard number is what to quote. Corrosion behaviour is good general corrosion resistance and the service range is approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint.

## Why Choose A2 Stainless Steel for Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts

The most common stainless group for indoor and general outdoor fasteners. For clinch lantern rivet nuts, this matters when good general corrosion resistance is the primary requirement.

## Mechanical & Physical Properties

| Grade designation | ISO 3506 group A2 (304 / 1.4301), commonly supplied A2-70 |
| --- | --- |
| Magnetic response | Largely non-magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint |
| Corrosion characteristic | Good general corrosion resistance |

## Corrosion Behavior in Service

A2 (304) gives excellent atmospheric and most-water corrosion resistance and is the most common stainless for Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts in indoor and general outdoor service. In chloride-bearing environments (marine air, road salt, swimming pools) consider stepping up to A4 (316).

## Comparable Grades

For Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts, the alternative stainless grade is A4 (316). Choose A2 (304) for general use and A4 (316) wherever chlorides are present; the molybdenum in A4 is the whole difference. Remember that stainless is the corrosion answer, not the strength answer — for load, look at class 8.8 or 10.9 instead.

## Using Stainless Fasteners in Aluminum

Stainless steel is more noble than aluminum, so with an electrolyte present — rain, condensation, salt spray — the aluminum becomes the anode and corrodes at the joint. Area ratio decides how bad it gets: a small stainless fastener in a large aluminum section is normally acceptable, a large stainless fastener in thin aluminum is not. Where the joint gets wet, isolate the metals with a coated or nylon washer and a sealant, or specify an aluminum or coated fastener instead.

## Sizes of Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts Available in A2 Stainless Steel

| Thread size | Body form | End form | Grip range | Material and plating |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| M4 | lantern (folding body) | open end | set by body length | carbon steel, zinc plated |
| M5 | lantern (folding body) | open end | set by body length | carbon steel, zinc plated |
| M6 | lantern (folding body) | open or closed end | set by body length | carbon steel, zinc plated |
| M8 | lantern (folding body) | open or closed end | set by body length | carbon steel, zinc plated |

Dimensions are independent of the material: every size above is available in A2 Stainless Steel.

## Need this nut in a grade that is not listed?

A2 Stainless Steel is one of the grades the catalog describes. Thread size is the obvious variable and rarely the interesting one — height for clearance, across-flats for the tool already in the cell, and the locking feature for the vibration actually present. Made by cold heading or tapping.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

## Applications & Industries

Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts are bought for a small number of well-defined jobs. These are the ones we ship them for. Stocked from M4 to M8.

### Industries that specify Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts

- **Equipment assembly:** Open and closed ends for exposed and sealed positions.
- **Sheet-metal fabrication:** A folding body gives a wider bearing footprint behind thin sheet.
- **Enclosure manufacture:** Blind installation from one side only.
- **Vehicle bodywork:** Threads added to panels that cannot be tapped.
- **Building services:** Threaded rod, channel and suspension assemblies.
- **Machine building & OEM:** The clamping counter-face on studs and bolts throughout an assembly.

### Typical applications

- setting with the correct tool so the lantern folds evenly
- drilling the specified hole before setting
- matching grip range to the actual panel thickness
- choosing a closed end where the back face must stay sealed
- locking an adjustment so it cannot drift
- joints re-torqued at a service interval

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **High load:** Supplied in ISO 898-1 property classes, so the joint can be designed to a stated proof load and tightened to a calculated torque rather than by feel.
- **Match the class:** A nut below the bolt property class strips before the bolt reaches its own limit — pair class 8 nuts with 8.8 bolts, class 10 with 10.9.

### Where to use something else

- Do not set a lantern nut outside its grip range; a body that folds in the wrong place spins in the hole under load.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Are A2 Stainless Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts magnetic?

A2 Stainless Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts are largely non-magnetic.

### What corrosion resistance do A2 Stainless Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts offer?

A2 Stainless Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts provide good general corrosion resistance with a service range of approx. -200 °C to +400 °C, subject to the property class and the joint.

### Should I choose A2 Stainless Steel or A4 (316) for Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts?

For Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts, A2 Stainless Steel suits general indoor and outdoor use; A4 (316) is preferred for marine, coastal and chemical environments. Choose by corrosion exposure first.

### Can A2 Stainless Steel Clinch Lantern Rivet Nuts gall during installation?

Yes — stainless on stainless is prone to thread galling under load, especially at smaller sizes. Use an anti-galling lubricant or wax thread compound, and slow the tightening rate where possible.
