AT PRESENT WE ARE OVERHAULING A CENTRIFUGAL PUMP AND ITS LOCK NUT GOT DAMAGED.. SO WHAT MATERIAL I CAN USE FOR MAKING A NEW IMPELLER NUT.. SAME MATERIAL AS SHAFT OR MATERIAL WITH DIFFERENT STRENGTH AND THERMAL EXPANSION??





RE: IMPELLER SHAFT NUT
If it is SS or other alloys you need to watch compatibility both for corrosion and galling.

How did the nut get damaged?
Are the key and keyway and keyseat in good condition as to prevent any relative movement of shaft and impeller?
Is the thread of the shaft undamaged?
