Round Malleable
A round malleable washer, sometimes simply referred to as a malleable washer, is a type of washer with a circular shape that is made from malleable iron. Malleable iron is a cast iron that has been heat-treated to improve its ductility and toughness, making it more resistant to deformation and cracking than regular cast iron.
Round malleable washers are designed for use in various applications, particularly in the construction and building industry, where they are commonly used for securing and reinforcing structural connections. These washers provide several benefits, including:
-
Load Distribution: Malleable washers help distribute the load from fasteners, such as bolts or screws, over a larger surface area. This can reduce the risk of damage to the materials being fastened.
-
Reinforcement: They are often used to reinforce structural connections and prevent the fasteners from pulling through or damaging the material.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Malleable iron washers can be galvanized or coated to provide corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor and high-moisture applications.
The specific design and dimensions of round malleable washers may vary depending on the requirements of the construction project, and they are typically selected based on the size and type of fasteners being used.
