Stainless Steel Penny Washers are widely recognised in the UK market under various names such as fender washers, repair washers, mudguard washers, and oversized washers. They are distinguished by their large external diameter compared to their hole size, and this resembles the size of an old British penny coin. This design effectively distributes the load of a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or screw, over a broader area, which enhances the connection's stability and reduces the risk of pull-through or surface damage occurring. Installation and removal of these washers is straightforward, as they are placed beneath the head of a screw or nut, providing a flat bearing surface that helps prevent loosening due to vibration or movement.
Penny washers are often used as a more robust alternative to standard washers because of their larger surface area, which provides better load distribution. In the UK, they are extensively employed across various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing, for both commercial and personal projects. Their versatility and durability make them suitable for a wide range of applications.
One of the key advantages of choosing Stainless Steel Penny Washers over those made from other materials is their exceptional durability. Made from grades such as A2 (also known as grade 304) and A4 (also known as grade 316) stainless steel, these washers offer resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for use in challenging environments, including marine applications. This resistance to rust and corrosion ensures longevity and reliability in applications where exposure to moisture or corrosive elements is a concern. For instance, they are highly valued in architectural metalwork, marine applications, and even in creating stainless steel sculptures, where their durability and resistance to environmental factors are crucial.
Specifically, in the UK's manufacturing and construction sectors, Stainless Steel Penny Washers play a vital role. They are heavily utilised in architectural art, model making (including train and plane building), and architectural metalwork, among others. Their ability to withstand the typical Great British weather makes them particularly suitable for outdoor applications, ensuring long-lasting architectural metalwork.
Distinct from other stainless steel fastener products, Penny Washers offer a significantly larger outside diameter, providing a broader surface area for load distribution. This feature is especially useful in applications requiring the protection of surfaces from damage under the bolt head or nut, or where a large hole needs to be covered.
