Bob Lang chiming in here... nuts most certainly come in different grades.
What you just bought were either grade two or grade five. They probably
are silvery in color. Grade 8 look more goldish, I think they have some
kind of cadmium plating... AN364 and AN365 look more like grade 8, I'm
sure these are cadmium plated. They don't seem to rust.
Call Pegasus or a local aircraft supply place for high grade/high quality
bolts and nuts.
