Aluminum Washer

Aluminum washers are flat metal rings with a hole in the middle, usually used to disperse the load pressure of screws or nuts to prevent material damage or loosening. Due to their light weight, corrosion resistance and good conductivity, aluminum washers are widely used in many industries such as aviation, automobiles, electronics, and electrical, and are an ideal choice to replace traditional steel washers.

FAQ

What are the advantages of aluminum washers compared to steel washers?

Aluminum washers are lighter, corrosion-resistant, and do not rust, making them ideal for applications with high weight and environmental requirements.

Are aluminum washers suitable for high-temperature environments?

Standard aluminum washers can be used below approximately 200°C. For higher temperature environments, high-temperature alloys or special treatments can be used.

Do aluminum washers rust?

Aluminum washers do not rust like steel. The surface of aluminum naturally forms an oxide film, providing excellent corrosion resistance.

Can anodized aluminum washers be provided?

Yes, anodized aluminum washers are available in common colors such as silver, black, and gold, enhancing both aesthetics and corrosion resistance.

Is it possible to customize non-standard sizes?

Yes, non-standard sizes can be customized based on customer drawings or samples, with stamping, CNC machining, and other services available.
