Thru Hardened Heavy Split Lock Washer Plain Finish

Thru-Hardened Heavy Split Lock Washer with Plain Finish – Industrial-Grade Locking Strength for Demanding Applications

For high-strength assemblies that demand maximum locking performance, the thru-hardened heavy split lock washer with a plain finish is the rugged, no-nonsense choice. Built for extreme mechanical loads and vibration-prone environments, this washer is engineered to maintain bolt tension and resist loosening under dynamic stress.

Manufactured from high-quality medium carbon steel, these washers undergo a thru-hardening heat treatment process—not just surface hardening—ensuring that the entire body of the washer is hardened for maximum toughness and durability. The heavy-duty design features thicker cross-sections compared to standard split lock washers, making them ideal for use with high-strength bolts, including Grades 5, 8, and ASTM A325.

The plain finish provides a clean, uncoated surface ideal for dry indoor environments or applications where external coatings aren’t required. While it doesn’t offer corrosion resistance like plated washers, the plain finish makes this washer cost-effective and ideal for tightly controlled environments.
