FAQs
What material are these washers made of?
These washers are constructed from durable carbon steel.
What size are these washers?
They have an M6 diameter, meaning they are designed for M6 bolts and screws.
How many washers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 large flat washers.
Can I use these washers outdoors?
They can be used outdoors, but carbon steel may rust if exposed to prolonged moisture. For better outdoor durability, consider protective coatings or stainless steel alternatives.
What is the main purpose of a flat washer?
A flat washer's primary purpose is to distribute the load of a fastener over a larger surface area, preventing damage to the material being fastened and ensuring a more secure fit.

Yes, carbon steel is typically magnetic.
Troubleshooting
Washer doesn't fit bolt
Verify that the bolt or screw is indeed an M6 size. These washers are specifically designed for M6 fasteners.
Rust spots appearing on washers
This can occur with carbon steel if exposed to moisture. Store in a dry place. For critical applications, consider using stainless steel washers or applying a protective coating.
Washer cracking under pressure
Ensure the washer is not overloaded beyond the material's and fastener's capacity. Check for damage to the bolt or nut. If the issue persists, consider a thicker or stronger washer material if available for the application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These washers require no setup. Simply place them onto the bolt or screw shank before inserting it through the material or before threading on a nut.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for use with M6 bolts, screws, and nuts. Ensure your fasteners are M6 diameter for a correct fit. They are suitable for use with carbon steel, stainless steel, or brass fasteners.
Care:
While carbon steel offers some resistance to corrosion, it is best to store these washers in a dry environment. For applications exposed to moisture or harsh conditions, consider using stainless steel washers or applying a protective coating (e.g., paint or sealant) to prevent rust.
