Unlike costly, progressive tooling, Freeway’s compound tooling can hold and control metal washer flatness to a much tighter tolerance. This is accomplished by blanking the OD and ID at the same time.

Custom Shaped Washers

Before you pay for an expensive progressive die to produce your parts, let Freeway see if our more economical compound tooling can be designed and utilized for your custom shaped washers. Our tooling is not limited to three dimensional round washers; our metal washer stamping can conform to just about any shape: with or without a hole, multiple holes or slight bends or forms.

Standard Metal Washers

What are Metal Washers Used For?

Metal washers are typically made from steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or other metals. They are used with fasteners like bolts, screws, or nuts to distribute the load of the fastener more evenly across a surface, preventing damage, loosening, or deformation of the material. Metal washers also help improve joint stability by reducing friction between surfaces, sealing gaps, and providing a smooth bearing surface for fastener heads.

What Are Metal Washers Made Of?

Metal washers can be made from various materials, each suited to different applications based on factors like strength, corrosion resistance, and temperature tolerance. Freeway can produce washers from low-carbon steels, high-carbon steels, high-strength (HSLA) steel, galvanized or other pre-coated steels, and pre-hardened or pre-tempered steels. Specialty metals include Inconel, titanium, nickel alloys, and red metals.

What Materials Can Metal Washers Be?
