ForgeFix Flat Washers Heavy Duty M12 Zinc Plated Bag 100

These Forgefix Heavy-Duty Form A Flat Washers are an essential component for a wide range of bolting applications. Thicker than the more commonly used Form B washers, these heavy-duty washers are designed to provide enhanced durability and reliability. By conforming to DIN 125 standards, they ensure a high-quality option for both professional and domestic projects.

Corrosion Resistance

The washers feature a bright zinc plating that significantly increases their corrosion resistance. This zinc coating serves two crucial purposes: it acts as a protective barrier against oxidation and serves as a sacrificial anode, which helps to prolong the life of the washer even if the barrier is damaged. Unlike iron oxide, which weakens the surface integrity of metals, zinc oxide forms a fine white dust that remains intact and can further protect against oxidation. This advanced coating method ensures that your fasteners maintain their integrity and appearance over time, similar to the protection afforded by the oxide layers on aluminum and stainless steel materials.

Functionality and Load Distribution

The primary function of these flat washers is to distribute the load under bolt heads or nut faces efficiently. This load distribution helps to create a smoother surface for nuts or bolts to bear on, minimizing the likelihood of loosening due to uneven fastening surfaces. The added thickness of these washers enhances their load-bearing capabilities, making them particularly suitable for demanding applications.

Versatility

These heavy-duty washers can be used with all types of bolts and nuts, making them extremely versatile for various construction and repair tasks. Whether you're working on structural projects, machinery assembly, or general repairs, these flat washers are compatible with numerous applications, ensuring that you have the right component for the job.

Quality and Standards

Manufactured to meet the DIN 125A and BS4320 standards, these washers provide peace of mind in terms of quality and performance. Each washer is designed to function optimally in adverse conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Overall, the Forgefix Heavy-Duty Form A Flat Washers present a reliable solution for engineers, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts alike. Their thicker design, coupled with excellent corrosion resistance and load distribution capabilities, ensures that they meet the rigorous demands of modern fastening applications. With their ability to withstand the test of time, these washers represent an astute choice for any fastening requirements.
