Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are 410 stainless steel lock washers?

410 stainless steel lock washers are high-strength washers with internal or external tooth designs, engineered to prevent fastener loosening under vibration by adding tension in indoor or sheltered environments.

How do 410 stainless steel lock washers differ from 304 or 316 stainless steel lock washers?

410 stainless steel lock washers offer higher strength and hardness but lower corrosion resistance compared to 304 (suitable for sheltered settings) or 316 (marine-grade for harsh environments).

Are 410 stainless steel lock washers suitable for marine environments?

These washers have moderate corrosion resistance for indoor or sheltered settings. For marine or highly corrosive environments, 316 stainless steel lock washers are recommended for superior durability.

What tools are needed to install 410 stainless steel lock washers?

No special tools are required. Use a standard wrench or screwdriver compatible with the bolt or screw head. Place the washer between the fastener head and the surface, tightening to engage the tooth-locking tension.

How do I choose the right size 410 stainless steel lock washer?

Select based on the bolt or screw size and application requirements. Common sizes include #2, #4, #6, #8, #10, 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" inner diameters. Check sizing charts or consult our team for guidance.
