Silicon Bronze Flat Washers

Why choose silicon bronze washers?

Silicon bronze is the traditional choice for boatbuilding and marine hardware because it resists saltwater corrosion exceptionally well, better than brass, and holds up over decades in wooden boats, docks, and coastal structures. It is stronger than brass, non-magnetic, and develops an attractive natural patina, which also makes it popular for high-end decorative and restoration work. Pair silicon bronze washers with silicon bronze fasteners to avoid galvanic corrosion and keep the whole joint marine-durable.
