Washers
Split
lockwashers are made mostly from coils of wire. Lockwashers
made from coil are subject to high volume production
runs. Steel and stainless steel lockwashers become work
hardened in the manufacturing process and possess more
strength and spring than the raw material.
Lockwashers
made from Nickel based alloys and stainless, other than
18-8 or 316, are generally machined from plate stock.
There is not enough demand to make these parts from
coil. Washers made from plate are not as strong as those
made from coil and cannot be reused.
Nickel
Systems maintains an inventory of split lockwashers
in Hastelloy® (Alloys C276, C22, B2), Alloy 20 (Carpenter
20®), 18-8, and 316 Stainless. Current inventory
includes 317L Stainless, K-Monel® (Alloy 500), and
AL6XN. Additionally, we can re-machine certain sizes
to produce hi-collar lockwashers for use with socket
head cap screws.
