Flat Washer

Flat washers are common auxiliary parts for fasteners in mechanical assembly. Though seemingly simple, they play a crucial role in connecting structures, with the main functions as follows:
1.Disperse pressure and protect the contact surface
2.Fill in surface irregularities to ensure the tightness of the connection
3.Prevent direct friction between bolts/nuts and connected parts
4.Assist in adjusting assembly gaps (special scenarios)

    Description of Flat Washer

    A flat washer is a component placed between a connected part and a nut. It is generally a flat metal ring, used to protect the surface of the connected part from being scratched by the nut and to disperse the pressure exerted by the nut on the connected part.

    When selecting the material for flat washers, the following factors should be prioritized:

    Connection strength requirements (metal materials are preferred);
    Environmental corrosion (stainless steel or PTFE is suitable for humid/acid-alkaline environments);

    Temperature range (316 stainless steel or PTFE for high-temperature environments, and stainless steel for low-temperature environments);
    Special needs (plastics/rubber for insulation, copper for conductivity, and aluminum for lightweight purposes).

    A reasonable match of materials can significantly improve the reliability and service life of the connection, and avoid early failure caused by improper material selection (such as rust-induced fracture, corrosion-induced leakage, etc.).
