ForgeFix Flat Washers Heavy Duty M10 Zinc Plated Bag 100

These Forgefix heavy-duty Form A Flat Washers are designed for a wide range of bolting applications and offer notable performance and durability. Constructed thicker than their more common Form B counterparts, these washers excel in providing enhanced load distribution under the bolt head or nut face, which significantly reduces the likelihood of loosening due to uneven fastening surfaces.

Corrosion Resistance

Brightly zinc plated, these washers not only conform to DIN 125 standards but also feature increased corrosion resistance. The zinc coating is an effective barrier that prevents the oxidation of the metal, thereby ensuring a longer-lasting finish. It performs this function by forming a protective layer that acts as a sacrificial anode; if the coating is compromised, the zinc will corrode before the underlying metal does, preserving its integrity. The formation of zinc oxide creates a fine white dust that, unlike iron oxide, does not contribute to surface breakdown. If the zinc oxide layer remains intact, it continues to provide a further protective barrier against oxidation, similar to how aluminum and stainless steel are safeguarded by their own oxide layers.

Versatile Applications

Designed for use with all types of bolts and nuts, these heavy-duty washers are suitable for virtually any bolting application. Whether you are working on construction projects, automotive repairs, or general maintenance, these washers provide the reliability and strength needed for effective fastening. The ability to distribute weight evenly under the fastener ensures optimal performance in a variety of environments.

Technical Specifications

These washers are manufactured to adhere to both DIN125A and BS4320 standards, guaranteeing high quality and consistency. The weight of each washer is approximately 0.55 pounds, making them substantial enough to handle demanding applications yet manageable for ease of installation. Available in a wide range of sizes, they are designed to meet the specific needs of most applications, ensuring you find the appropriate washer for your task.

In conclusion, Forgefix heavy-duty Form A Flat Washers offer a reliable solution for fastening applications that require durability, strength, and resistance to corrosion. Their exceptional design and material properties make them an essential component for anyone looking to achieve secure and lasting connections in their projects. Whether you are a professional tradesperson or a DIY enthusiast, these washers will not disappoint.
