Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to some of the most common questions about aluminum flat washers.
What are aluminum flat washers?
Aluminum flat washers are lightweight, corrosion-resistant washers manufactured from quality aluminum alloys. Their low density makes them the preferred choice for aerospace, marine, electronics, and other weight-sensitive applications where steel or stainless steel washers would add unnecessary mass. Superior Washer manufactures aluminum flat washers in standard and custom sizes from its ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities in the USA.
What makes aluminum flat washers a good choice for my application?
Aluminum offers an excellent strength to weight ratio, natural corrosion resistance without the need for plating or coating, and non-magnetic properties. These characteristics make aluminum washers ideal for applications where weight reduction, galvanic compatibility with aluminum fasteners, or non-magnetic requirements are priorities.
What alloys are your aluminum flat washers made from?
