F436 Structural Flat Washer with Plain Finish
F436 Structural Flat Washers – Heavy-Duty Performance for Steel-to-Steel Connections
When your project demands strength, reliability, and code compliance, F436 structural flat washers are the go-to solution. Engineered specifically for heavy-duty structural applications, these washers are designed to provide the durability and load distribution necessary in critical steel-to-steel assemblies.
Made from through-hardened carbon steel or alloy steel, F436 washers are heat-treated to precise mechanical properties, ensuring high strength and resistance to deformation under extreme loads. They're commonly paired with ASTM A325 and A490 structural bolts, making them ideal for bridges, buildings, wind towers, and steel fabrication projects.
Material & Coating Options:
-
