What is the role of flat washers in fasteners-hardware

Tell you what is the role of flat washers in fasteners. Flat washers are also called flat washer mesons. They are mainly punched out of iron plates. The shape is generally round or square with a hole in the middle. The size of the hole is generally corresponding to the bolt diameter, and it can also be made according to customer requirements. Normally, the diameter of the flat washer for bolts of the same specification is the same, and the outer diameter and thickness are different. For example, the diameter of the flat washer for M10 bolts is 10mm, and the outer diameter and thickness are not fixed. Galvanized flat washers Flat washers are often used to reduce friction, prevent leakage, isolate, prevent loosening, or distribute pressure. Many materials and structures have such components, which are used to perform various similar functions. Limited by the material and process of threaded fasteners, the supporting surface of bolts and other fasteners is not large. Therefore, in order to reduce the compressive stress of the pressure-bearing surface to protect the surface of the connected parts, the bolts are often equipped with flat washers, so Flat washers are indispensable auxiliary accessories in bolt fasteners.
