Hardened Flat washers

Hardened Flat washers are used under bolt heads or nuts to increase the bearing area and to offer hardness so that the nut or bolt can be rotated without distortion of the bearing surface. Hardened Flat washers are used to give tightness to a joint, to prevent leakage, and especially to distribute pressure under the head of a nut or bolt.
