Hey guys

I am trying to know how an all metal lock nut works? Is it similar to nyloc nut where instead of a nylon strip inside the metal works to hold the fastener during vibrations?

As I said, we've used the green "wicking grade" post-assembly threadlocker with teflon-coated fasteners to prevent spontaneous disassembly during shipping. No iron or copper anywhere. The bond is strong enough not only to resist spontaneous disassembly, but also strong enough that the bond between the teflon and the base steel of the studs usually fails first.
