Fasteners - Surface discontinuities - Nuts
1 Scope
1.1 This part establishes limits for various types of surface discontinuities on nuts.
It applies to nuts with:
Nominal thread diameters from 5mm up to and including 39mm;
Product grades A and B;
All property classes according to GB/T 3098.2 and GB/T 3098.4, unless otherwise specified in product standards or agreed between supplier and purchaser.
1.2 Even if the surface defects reach the allowable limit specified in Chapter 3, the mechanical and working performance of the product should still meet the minimum requirements specified in GB/T 3098.2, GB/T 3098.4 and GB/T 3098.9. In addition, it should meet the size requirements of the corresponding product standards.
Notes:
1 The figures in Chapter 3 are only examples, and are applicable to other types of nuts accordingly.
2 For the sake of clarity, some surface defects are exaggerated in the figure.

3 Types, causes, appearance and limits of surface discontinuities
3.1
cracks
a crack is a clean (crystalline) fracture passing through or across the grain boundaries and may possibly follow inclusions of foreign elements. Cracks are normally caused by overstressing the metal during forging or other forming operations, or during heat treatment, or may have been present in the raw material. Where parts are subjected to significant reheating, cracks are usually discoloured by scale
