Washers are thin, flat, circular hardware components used in conjunction with nuts and bolts or other threaded fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the joined surfaces. They prevent loosening, minimize wear, and protect the underlying materials from damage due to friction or corrosion. Washers come in a variety of materials, such as steel, stainless steel, brass, and nylon, and are available in numerous types, including bulk flat washers, spring washers, and lock washers. Each type serves a specific purpose, ensuring the stability, durability, and performance of the assembled products or structures. The correct selection and use of washers play a crucial role in maintaining the overall safety and integrity of any mechanical connection.
