USA SAE Flat Washer Thru Hardened with Plain Finish
If you're looking for a washer that delivers consistent performance under load, the USA-made SAE thru hardened flat washer with a plain finish is an excellent choice. Designed and manufactured to strict SAE standards, these washers offer reliable load distribution and enhanced strength for high-performance bolted connections in industrial, automotive, and heavy machinery applications.
Made from medium carbon steel, each washer is thru hardened—not just surface-treated—to ensure uniform hardness and strength throughout. This heat treatment improves resistance to deformation, embedding, and galling, even under the most demanding torque and pressure conditions.
Material & Finish:
-
Material: Medium carbon steel (SAE J429 compatible)
-
Finish: Plain, uncoated steel – ideal for indoor applications or when a natural metal appearance is required
Dimensions & Tolerances:
-
Outside Diameters: Sized per SAE standard – smaller OD compared to USS washers for a tighter fit around the fastener
-
Inner Diameters: Designed to snugly accommodate SAE bolt sizes
-
Tolerances: Tight manufacturing tolerances for consistent performance and alignment
Mechanical Properties:
-
Hardness: Heat treated to ensure strength and prevent washer crushing under high loads
-
Performance: Maintains bolt preload and clamping force without deformation
