304 Stainless Steel Spring

304 Stainless Steel Spring  SAE  304  stainless steel Spring also known as  A2 stainless steel  (not the same as A2  tool steel ) or commercially as  18/10 or   18/8 stainless steel , European norm 1.4301, is the most common stainless steel. The steel contains both  chromium  (between 18-20%) and  nickel  (between 8-10.5%) [1]  metals as the main non- iron  constituents. It is an  austenitic stainless steel . It is less electrically andthermally  conductive  than  carbon steel  and is essentially non-magnetic.  It has a higher  corrosion  resistance than regular steel and is widely used because of the ease in which it is formed into various shapes. [2] The composition was developed by  W. H. Hatfield  at  Firth-Vickers  in 1924 and was marketed under the trade name "Staybrite 18/8". [3] . The Japanese equivalent grade of this material is SUS304.  [4] . 304 Stainless Steel Spring Suppliers 1) IBK Engineers Pvt Ltd. 2) Swab

316 Stainless Steel Washers

316 Stainless Steel Washers 316 Stainless Steel Washers Washer (hardware) 316 Stainless Steel Washers is a thin plate (typically disk-shaped) with a hole (typically in the middle) that is normally used to distribute the load of a  threaded fastener , such as a  screw  or  nut . Other uses are as a spacer, spring ( belleville washer , wave washer), wear pad,  preload  indicating device, locking device, and to reduce vibration ( rubber washer ). Washers often have an outer  diameter  (OD) about twice their inner diameter (ID), but this can vary quite widely. Washers are usually  metal  or  plastic . High-quality  bolted joints  require hardened steel washers to prevent the loss of pre-load due to  Brinelling after the  torque  is applied. Rubber  or  fiber   gaskets  used in  taps  (or faucets, or valves) to stop the flow of water are sometimes referred to colloquially as  washers ; but, while they may look similar, washers and gaskets are usually designed for d
