Manufacturing the Aerotight® Nut
The Aerotight Nut is manufactured in several grades of stainless steel and other materials, as well as various finishes, including trivalent plating.
The self-locking nut is extremely resilient – both the steel and austenitic steel nuts can withstand temperatures of up to 300 degrees Celsius. They are also vibration resistant; when tested against ordinary counterparts, the Aerotight Nut was able to withstand vibrations much more successfully.

The nut has application across a myriad of industries, including transportation, anti-vandalization technology and agriculture. It was recently used in a high-profile scientific investigation into dark matter.
