The following is a description about flat washers:
Structural features: Flat washers are usually thin pieces made by stamping iron plates, with a circular flat metal ring shape and a hole in the middle. The diameter and outer diameter of the hole depend on the specific application and bolt specifications.
Material selection: Common materials include metal materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, as well as non-metallic materials such as plastic. Steel flat washers have high strength; Stainless steel flat washers have good resistance to rust and corrosion, and are suitable for harsh environments such as outdoors or ships; The brass flat washer has good conductivity and corrosion resistance; Plastic flat washers have low cost and good insulation performance, and are commonly used in specific occasions such as electrical equipment.
Main function: Firstly, it can disperse pressure and distribute the load of fasteners to a larger surface area, preventing damage to the fastened material. For example, when connecting wooden components with metal bolts, it can prevent wood from being crushed. The second is to reduce friction and form smooth contact surfaces between connecting components, reducing friction and wear. The third is to prevent leakage, play a sealing role, and prevent liquid or gas from leaking from the connecting components. The fourth is isolation protection, which can protect the surface of the connected parts from nut scratches, isolate different material components, and avoid electrochemical corrosion.
Application field: In the field of mechanical manufacturing, it is used for the assembly of various mechanical equipment; In the automotive industry, it is used for connecting components such as engines and chassis; In the field of architecture, it is used for steel structure connections, pipeline installation, etc; In electronic devices, it is an important component used for circuit board assembly, shell connection, etc. It ensures stable connections and normal operation of devices in many fields, from large machinery to small electronic products.
Related standards: There are a total of 9 standards for flat washers in China, which were approved and released from 2000 to 2002 GB/T97.3-2000,GB/T5286-2001,GB/T95-2002 The standard for flat washers specifies the dimensions, materials, performance, and other aspects of flat washers.
