Premium Washer Fasteners

Stainless Steel Washer Product Options

Wink Global’s stainless steel, Monel, titanium, and exotic material washers are available in several unique formats to service your exclusive project needs. Our premium washer options include:

Flat Washers

Flat washers are designed to provide a larger bearing surface, providing an increased load distribution area. Flat washers are also used to ensure that the nut is pressed against a smooth surface, which reduces the chance that it will gradually loosen.

Fender Washer

With a larger outer diameter in proportion to its center hole, fender washers provide an even larger bearing surface than the standard commercial patter flat washers.

Split Lock Washers

Either coiled, hardened, split, or circular, split lock washers are used to prevent other fasteners from loosening or slipping.

Tooth Lock Washers

Primarily utilized to reduce joint loosening within high vibration applications, tooth lock washers utilize their teeth so they can easily bite into the bearing surface of the application.

Stainless Steel Washer Material Options

At Wink Global, we provide a wide range of stainless steel washer material options for your project needs. Whether you are looking for a washer that provides unsurpassed corrosion resistance, increased strength-to-weight ratios, or enhanced weldability, we currently have stock on a variety of sizes and materials.

316 Stainless Steel Washers

With superior resistance to chlorides and acids when compared with SS 304, stainless steel 316 washers are ideal for highly corrosive environments where other types of stainless steel would fail. Stainless steel 316 washers provide an increased functional lifespan for applications that endure highly corrosive environments. Stainless steel 316 is often referred to as marine grade stainless. Stainless steel washer benefits include:

• Enhanced corrosion resistance
• High strength
• Formability
• Easy maintenance

18.8 Stainless Steel Washers

18.8 stainless refers to the 18% chromium and 8% nickel content and is the most common stainless for all types of fasteners. Several 300 series alloys are included in 18.8. They include 301, 302 HQ (Heading Quality), 303, 304, 304 M (modified). 18.8 stainless steel washers provide extremely good tensile strength ranges and their 18% chromium, and 8% nickel content provide non-magnetic qualities that resist corrosion and rust. 18.8 stainless steel washers provide the following beneficial qualities:

• Superior corrosion resistance in non-chloride environments
• Excellent formability
• Maintenance free
• Budget friendly

Monel Washers

Nickel Copper 400 and Nickel Copper Aluminum K-500 fall between 316 stainless and titanium for durability in chlorine and chloride application. The price is about half of titanium as well. The US Navy is the number 1 user of Monel 400 and K-500.

• Excellent corrosion resistance in chlorine and chloride environments
• Excellent durability

Titanium Washers

For applications that require the most reliable strength and durability, Wink Global currently has washer products in titanium grades 2, 5, and 7. Titanium washer advantages include:

• Enhanced corrosion resistance
• Superior strength
• Excellent durability
• Lightweight
• Lifetime Cost-efficient
