Hastelloy C276 Washers
What are Washers?
Washer fasteners are a specific type of fastener that include 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.
Prevention of Surface Damage: Washers act as a protective barrier between the fastener and the surface, preventing surface damage, scratching, or marring.
Increased 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.

- Power Generation: Washers are utilized 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.
- Aerospace and Defense: Washers find applications in aircraft, missiles, and defense equipment, where they ensure secure fastening and resistance to corrosive conditions.
How Hastelloy C276 Benefits the Quality of Washers
Hastelloy C276 is renowned for its outstanding corrosion resistance in a wide range of aggressive environments. By using Hastelloy C276 as the material for washers, the quality and performance of the washers are enhanced in the following ways:
Corrosion Resistance: Hastelloy C276 offers excellent resistance to a variety of corrosive media, including oxidizing and reducing environments. This corrosion resistance extends the lifespan of the washers, even in highly corrosive conditions.
Chemical Compatibility: Hastelloy C276 is resistant to a broad range of chemicals, including sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and chlorides. This makes Hastelloy C276 washers suitable for use in chemical processing, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
High Strength: Hastelloy C276 has 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 C276 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 C276 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, have serrated surfaces that create friction and prevent loosening of the fastener due to vibration or rotation.
Spring Washers: Spring washers are designed to provide a constant load or tension, ensuring the fastener remains tight even under dynamic conditions.
Fender Washers: Fender washers have a larger outer diameter compared to standard washers, providing additional surface area for load distribution. They are commonly used in automotive and construction applications.
Beveled Washers: Beveled washers have a sloping surface that allows for a smooth transition between the fastener and the surface. They are often used in structural applications where a flush appearance is desired.
