History
The dome nut, also known as the acorn nut, traces its origins to early industrial fastener designs aimed at improving safety and durability. Stainless steel variations became prominent in the mid-20th century with advancements in metallurgy. Stainless Steel 304, a widely used alloy, revolutionized the fastener industry by combining strength with resistance to corrosion, making these nuts a preferred choice across industries.
