Why Choose A2 Stainless Steel Metric Flat Washers?
Our A2 stainless steel metric flat washers at AlbanyCountyFasteners.com are designed for secure fastening in applications requiring corrosion resistance and compatibility with metric fasteners. Also known as A2 stainless steel metric washers, these washers are made from austenitic A2 stainless steel, equivalent to 304 stainless steel, offering excellent durability in non-marine outdoor environments. Their flat, circular design evenly distributes the load of metric bolts or screws, reducing stress on surfaces and preventing damage. Available in metric sizes like M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12, they meet DIN 125 standards and are ideal for precise, reliable assemblies.
- Corrosion Resistance: A2 stainless steel withstands rust in non-marine settings.
- Load Distribution: Evenly spreads fastener pressure to protect surfaces.
- Metric Compatibility: Designed for metric bolts and screws.
- Wide Sizing: Available in multiple metric sizes for diverse applications.
Applications for A2 Stainless Steel Metric Flat Washers
A2 stainless steel metric washers are ideal for projects requiring corrosion-resistant fastening with metric fasteners in demanding environments. Their versatility makes them suitable for:
- Construction and structural assemblies
- Automotive and machinery components
- Outdoor furniture and fixtures
- Electronics and precision equipment
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A2 stainless steel metric flat washers are corrosion-resistant, flat, circular washers designed to distribute the load of metric bolts or screws evenly, preventing surface damage in non-marine outdoor applications.
How do A2 stainless steel metric flat washers differ from A4 stainless steel washers?A2 stainless steel (304 equivalent) offers corrosion resistance for non-marine environments, while A4 stainless steel (316 equivalent) provides superior corrosion resistance for marine and highly corrosive settings.
Are A2 stainless steel metric flat washers suitable for marine environments?These washers are suitable for non-marine outdoor settings. For marine or highly corrosive environments, A4 stainless steel washers are recommended for enhanced durability.
What tools are needed to install A2 stainless steel metric flat washers?No special tools are required. Use a metric wrench or screwdriver compatible with the bolt or screw head. Place the washer between the fastener head and the surface for proper load distribution.
How do I choose the right size A2 stainless steel metric flat washer?Select based on the metric bolt or screw size and load requirements. Common sizes include M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12 inner diameters. Check sizing charts or consult our team for guidance.
