Stainless Steel Star Washer

Description

A stainless steel star washer is a type of washer designed for securing bolts or screws in place while also providing a locking function. Similar to galvanized star washers, these washers feature a star-shaped design with multiple points or “teeth” around the inner diameter. When installed between the bolt head or nut and the surface being fastened, the teeth of the washer bite into the material, creating resistance against loosening due to vibrations or movement. The stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance, making them particularly suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments where rust prevention is essential. Stainless steel star washers are commonly used in marine, aerospace, construction, and machinery applications where secure and reliable fastening is crucial. They provide a durable and long-lasting solution for preventing nuts and bolts from loosening over time, ensuring the integrity of the assembly.
