something?

No just standard steel, its what I've always done for the last 40 odd years and never had a problem.

They used to use them so they dont seize on the stud but modern manufacturers dont bother so why should you.

Best to cut the studs from A2 stainless steel studding. another good trick is to use studding extender/joiners/connectors as nuts.
Studding joiners are very deep nut about 8 times the depth of a normal nut this covers the exposed hread of the stud gives you a much better chance
of getting the nut off after it has been on a few years.
Do an ebay search on "Studding M8 stainless"
