Alloy Steel Plain Washers

Alloy Steel Plain Washers are mainly used to protect the mating surface from damage. These also help in increasing the surface area to help distribute the load in a particularly soft material or over large or slotted holes. Alloy Steel Plain Washers are also used to protect the joint surface from damage during the tightening process and to distribute the load under the bolt head and nut. The stress under the face of a standard hexagon-headed nut can result in indentation into standard-strength steel surfaces.
