Castellated nuts are used with bolts that have holes drilled in them for cotter pins or safety wire. To torque one, first you bring the fastener to the published torque...say it's 90 lb-ft. You then tighten it just enough more to make the holes accessible to the cotter pins or the safety wire, and install the locking device.
