Stock sizes in high-carbon and stainless steels
Precision engineered curved washers are available from Associated Spring
in many stock sizes. These washers are made of finely tempered spring
steel with some sizes being made of stainless steel. They come deburred
and have had all set removed during manufacturer. Curved washers exert
relatively light thrust loads and are often used to absorb axial end
play. The rate is approximately linear between 10% and 80% of available
deflection.
Material
High-Carbon Steel
Commercial - 1074 - 1095
Stainless steel
Commercial - Type 301
No charge for certificate of compliance when requested; certificate
of chemical analysis available, see price book.
Finish
Standard finish for high carbon steel is plain finish. Stainless
steel is supplied in plain finish. On special order, high carbon
steel washers may be mechanically plated, a process which substantially
reduces the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement. Recommendations
for specific applications will be made on request. |
