Hastelloy B2 Washers
What are Washers?
Washer fasteners are a specific type of fastener that includes washers as an integral component. A washer is a thin, flat disc with a hole in the center. It is placed between the fastener and the surface being fastened to provide support, distribute the load, and prevent damage to the underlying material.
Load Distribution: Washers distribute the load over a larger area, reducing the stress on the fastener and the surface it is attached to. This helps prevent deformation or damage to the materials.
Alignment and Stability: Washers provide stability by creating a flat, even surface for the fastener to rest against. They help align the fastener and maintain its position during installation and use.
Protection: Washers act as a protective barrier between the fastener and the surface, preventing surface damage, scratching, or marring.
Friction and Torque Control: Certain washer designs, such as toothed lock washers, provide additional friction between the fastener and the surface. This helps prevent loosening due to vibration or rotation.

- Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology: Washers are utilized in equipment and systems involved in the production of pharmaceuticals and biotechnological products, ensuring a high level of cleanliness and resistance to chemical exposure.
- Power Generation: Washers are used in power plants, including nuclear, fossil fuel, and renewable energy facilities, where they provide reliable fastening solutions for critical equipment and structures.
- Marine Applications: Washers are used in marine environments, including shipbuilding, offshore drilling rigs, and coastal infrastructure, where they are exposed to seawater and corrosive elements.
How Hastelloy B2 Benefits the Quality of Washers
Hastelloy B2 is known for its outstanding resistance to reducing environments, including hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and other aggressive chemicals. By using Hastelloy B2 as the material for washers, the quality and performance of the washers are enhanced in the following ways:
Corrosion Resistance: Hastelloy B2 offers excellent resistance to various corrosive media, particularly in reducing environments. This corrosion resistance extends the lifespan of the washers, even in highly corrosive conditions.
Chemical Compatibility: Hastelloy B2 is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and organic compounds. This makes Hastelloy B2 washers suitable for applications involving aggressive chemicals.
High Strength: Hastelloy B2 exhibits impressive mechanical properties, including high tensile and yield strength. This strength ensures that the washers maintain their integrity and provide reliable fastening even under heavy loads and extreme conditions.
Temperature Resistance: Hastelloy B2 retains its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The washers can withstand thermal cycling and maintain their performance in challenging environments.
Types of Washers Available
Shivalik offers a comprehensive range of Hastelloy B2 washers, including:
Flat Washers: These standard washers have a plain, flat surface and are used to distribute the load evenly over a larger area.
Lock Washers: Lock washers, such as split lock washers or toothed lock washers, provide resistance against loosening caused by vibration or rotation.
Spring Washers: Spring washers provide a constant load or tension, ensuring the fastener remains tight even under dynamic conditions.
Fender Washers: Fender washers have a larger outer diameter, providing additional surface area for load distribution. They are commonly used in automotive and construction applications.
