Nickel-plated Plain Washers are a high-quality fastener solution that provide a secure option for securing nuts or bolts, distributing pressure more evenly across a variety of applications due to their larger outside diameter. In applications where there is vibration or movement, Nickel-plated Plain Washers can play an important role in keeping the fasteners tight. The washer provides a cushioning effect between the nut or bolt and the workpiece, absorbing some of the energy from the vibrations. This helps to reduce the likelihood of the nut or bolt loosening over time, increasing the reliability and safety of the assembly.

• When additional load spreading support may be required when tightening nuts or bolts, using Nickel-plated Plain Washer is a very cost-effective solution
• Each plain washer is nickel-plated, which provides excellent protection against surface rust and oxidation and provides good lubricity to the threads of the fastener
• In addition to this, Nickel-plated Plain Washers are more cost-effective than stainless steel and are also widely recyclable, making them a more sustainable choice
• Available in a variety of sizes depending on your requirements
Nickel-plated Plain Washers are a simple, easy-to-use solution for situations where you need to tighten a nut or bolt to prevent the fastener from loosening, or to evenly distribute the load of a nut or bolt over a larger area. They can also be used as a spacer through the fastener before it is applied to the surface, which creates an additional load surface and prevents the fastener from digging too deep into the surface due to excessive load pressure. Plain washers are most commonly used for:
• Household applications and DIY
• Electronics and industrial manufacturing
• Construction and building
Nickel-plated Plain Washers are placed between the nut or bolt head and the surface of the workpiece. Their flat and circular shape provides a larger bearing area, which helps to distribute the load from the fastener more evenly over the surface of the material being fastened. This is particularly important when dealing with soft or brittle materials that could be damaged by the concentrated force of a nut or bolt.
As a barrier between the metal surfaces of the fastener and the workpiece, Nickel-plated Plain Washers help to prevent direct contact and reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion. This is especially important when using different types of metals in an assembly, as the washer can isolate the metals and prevent the electrochemical reaction that leads to corrosion. The washer can also protect the threads of the bolt or nut from damage and corrosion.
