Metric Zinc Plated Steel Flat Washers
What are metric zinc plated flat washers? Metric zinc plated steel flat washers are general-purpose metric round washers that spread a fastener's load and protect the surface, with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. Sized to metric bolt diameters, they are the economical choice for indoor and general outdoor metric assembly.

How do I size metric zinc flat washers?
Zinc plated steel is the cost-effective standard for metric washers in dry and general outdoor conditions. The steel body carries load, and the zinc plating adds corrosion resistance that outperforms bare steel. Match the washer to your metric bolt size, such as M6, M8, or M10. For wet, coastal, or chloride exposure where the zinc would eventually corrode, step up to metric A2 or A4 stainless.
Why choose metric zinc plated flat washers
- Metric sizing: matched to M-series bolt diameters.
- Economical: cost-effective steel washer for common jobs.
- Corrosion resistant: zinc plating protects better than bare steel.
- General purpose: the everyday metric washer.

Metric Zinc Plated Flat Washers FAQ
What metric sizes are available?
Common metric diameters such as M6, M8, and M10. Match the washer to your metric bolt size.
Are metric zinc washers good outdoors?
The zinc plating suits indoor and general dry outdoor use. For wet, coastal, or saltwater exposure, choose metric A2 or A4 stainless.
How much corrosion resistance does zinc add?
Zinc plating protects the steel far better than bare steel in dry and mild conditions, but it wears and corrodes over time in wet or salty environments.
