Duplex 2205 Slotted & castle nuts
DIN 935-1ASTM A276
Duplex 2205 castle and slotted nuts combine duplex strength and chloride-corrosion resistance with visible pin retention. The cross-hole, pin and nut slots complete the system; the nut’s material condition governs its loaded thread.

What we can make in Duplex 2205
Slotted nut
Use on drilled shafts and pins where a cotter pin retains the nut after adjustment. Slots in the hex body provide a lower axial envelope when the installation has limited clearance.
Castle nut
Use the raised slotted crown to position the cotter-pin path above the wrenching body. The crown needs clearance beyond the bearing assembly or linkage end.
Pin alignment
For wheel, pivot and linkage assemblies, align the slots with the cross-hole using the assembly’s preload or end-play procedure. The pin retains the nut; it does not set the bearing adjustment.

Manufacturing route
Small lots use machined blanks. Volume nut blanks use a forming route compatible with the alloy before machining the bore and tapping.
Heat treatment & final condition
Solution treatment and cooling control the duplex structure. Subsequent processing must preserve the ordered corrosion and mechanical condition.
Finished geometry
Internal thread gauging, usable engagement and bearing-face alignment are checked after final processing.
Where Duplex 2205 fits — and what matters
Offshore & Marine
Marine pump shafts and linkage pinsDuplex 2205 slotted & castle nuts retain marine pump shafts and linkage pins with a split pin through the nut slots and a cross-drilled shaft. Slot alignment establishes the final positive-retention position. The assembled contact is exposed to saltwater, deposits and neighbouring metals.
Water Treatment & Desalination
Treatment-pump shafts and actuator partsDuplex 2205 slotted & castle nuts retain treatment-pump shafts and actuator parts with a split pin through the nut slots and a cross-drilled shaft. Slot alignment establishes the final positive-retention position. The water stream, cleaning cycle and retained liquid define exposure at the installed part.
Oil & Gas
Valve actuator shafts and linkage pinsDuplex 2205 slotted & castle nuts retain valve actuator shafts and linkage pins with a split pin through the nut slots and a cross-drilled shaft. Slot alignment establishes the final positive-retention position. Utility connections and pressure-boundary parts have separate acceptance requirements on the equipment drawing.
Same slotted & castle nut. Different material priorities.
Duplex 2205 material dataInconel 625
Solid-solution strength and resistance to aggressive process liquids.
- Connection priority
- Nut preload with separate positive pin retention
- Annealed or solution-annealed 625
- The delivery condition affects strength and high-temperature response. Keep the specified condition with the component’s mechanical acceptance; 718-style aging is not the strengthening route for 625. Include liquid retained at the pin slots, cross-drilled shaft and bearing face in the exposure description.
Super Duplex 2507
Super-duplex strength and resistance to chloride pitting.
- Connection priority
- Nut preload with separate positive pin retention
- Final duplex structure
- S32750 chemistry and final solution treatment belong together. Forming, section size and cooling affect the structure represented by the mechanical and corrosion records. Include liquid retained at the pin slots, cross-drilled shaft and bearing face in the exposure description.
Monel K-500
Age-hardened strength in the nickel–copper alloy family.
- Connection priority
- Nut preload with separate positive pin retention
- Strength and hydrogen exposure
- K-500 gains strength through aging. Cathodic protection, hydrogen exposure and the ordered condition need joint consideration in highly loaded marine components. Include liquid retained at the pin slots, cross-drilled shaft and bearing face in the exposure description.

Questions about Duplex 2205 slotted & castle nuts
What must be specified with a castle nut?
The cross-drilled shaft, retaining pin material and slot geometry complete the retention system. Slot alignment follows the assembly tightening procedure; the pin does not generate the joint’s clamp load.
