This does not alter its self-locking function but can make a difference in an improper use of nuts (that is to tighten and unscrew frequently the self-locking nut).

All-metal self-locking nuts are the better choice when the temperatures here exceed 100 degrees or fall below 40 degrees, for the perfect realization.
