If a completely non-magnetic washer is required for your application, you may need to look into specialised materials that maintain a non-magnetic austenitic structure even after mechanical processing. So if you’re after a washer that you can rely on, these A2 Stainless Steel Form A Flat Washers are certainly worth considering. Used in the assembly or fixing of particular metals in a wide range of mechanical, industrial and craftwork uses.

Essential stainless steel fasteners for a multitude of applications, a staple part of any toolbox and projects for decades. Tightening: Over-tightening can deform the washer and compromise its ability to distribute load or seal a joint. Therefore, while these washers are highly versatile in handling temperature variations, it is crucial to consider the specific environmental conditions, such as potential exposure to corrosive substances, when using them in high-temperature applications. Note that painted washers might have different friction properties, which could affect their performance in load-bearing applications.Flat Washers can also be manufactured from a variety of specialist materials, including Aluminium, Brass, Phosphor Bronze, Nylon, PEEK, Polycetal, Reny, Polyphenylene, Polycarbonate and Titanium.

Stainless for a secure and long-lasting fastening solution that you can rely on with exceptional corrision resistance for strength and durability in the harshest environments making these perfect for the construction and automotive industry. Lubrication: Though not usually required for the washers themselves, if they are part of a moving assembly, appropriate lubrication of the parts can prevent wear and tear. As these scales are extremely sensitive, the slightest change in the working environment can have an effect on the instrument. In addition to having excellent corrosion resistance and hygiene properties, these washers are perfect for use in the food and pharmaceutical industries.Stainless steel’s resistance to corrosion is partly due to the oxide layer that forms on its surface.
