Lug Nut

A lug nut is a specialized fastener used to secure wheels onto vehicles. Typically made of steel or aluminum, lug nuts are designed with a threaded exterior to fit the wheel's lug studs or bolts, ensuring a tight and secure connection. They come in various types including open-end, closed-end, acorn, and spline drive, each tailored for different wheel designs and applications. Lug nuts are crucial in automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors where reliable wheel attachment is critical for safety and performance. Their material strength and corrosion resistance are key features, often subjected to stringent testing to meet industry standards for durability and reliability.
