Flat Washers 316 Stainless Steel

Flat washers are positioned under the head of a bolt or nut in order to provide a smooth bearing surface and distribute the fastener load over a wider area. 316 stainless steel uses additional amounts of nickel and molybdenum for increased resistance to chlorides and sulfates (salts, salt water) and often used in food processing, marinas, photographic works, chemical refineries, and other manufacturing.
