I need to create a round shaped NUT (from BAR stock) that will be welded into a set of handlebars (ASTM 513 Type 5 DOM)used for motorcycles. Basically, the bottom of the bars wll have this female plug/nut welded into it so that a stud can be threaed in from the frame w/ bushings to hold the bars in place. The stud is Zinc coated Grade 5 steel.
I have the spec as AISI 1018 steel but want to know if Hot-rolled, cold drawn or cold finished: ASTM 576, ASTM 311, ASTM 108 or ASTM 108 would be best...
Please let me know you're input. Thanks!
