Introduction - Mild Steel Plain Washers
Mild steel plain washers may be small in size, but they hold enormous importance in ensuring the strength and stability of fastened joints in machinery and structures. Among the many types available, mild steel plain washers are one of the most versatile and cost-effective choices for everyday industrial applications.
At Nafees Metal Industries, we specialize in manufacturing and supplying punched mild steel plain washers that provide a stable surface area for nuts and bolts, reducing wear, pressure, and vibration on fastened assemblies.
What Are Mild Steel Plain Washers?
Plain washers are flat, round metal disks with a hole in the center, typically used to distribute load over a larger surface area. Mild steel as a material offers a balance of durability, affordability, and workability—making it a popular choice across industries.
Our punched mild steel washers are produced using high-speed punching machines for precise dimensions and uniform thickness.

What Are Stainless Steel Spring Washers?
Spring washers, also known as split lock washers, are circular washers with a cut and a slight twist, allowing them to exert a spring force between the fastener’s head and the surface. This design helps:

Prevent bolt loosening from vibration
Maintain tension in dynamic loads
Resist corrosion and environmental wear (especially in stainless steel variants)
Our stainless steel spring washers are available in SS202, SS304, and SS316 grades, offering excellent anti-vibration and corrosion-resistant performance.
Applications of Industrial Mild Steel Washers
Plain washers made of mild steel are used wherever nuts and bolts are tightened against surfaces. Their role is to protect surfaces, prevent loosening, and maintain the integrity of the joint.
Widely used in:
Heavy machinery and equipment
Electrical panel installations
Automobile and railway components
Structural steel frameworks
Home appliance manufacturing
Agricultural machinery
Whether you’re building a bridge or assembling an engine, industrial washers play a key role in your assembly’s long-term success.
Why Use Mild Steel Plain Washers?
1. Load Distribution:
Prevents damage to the surface material by distributing the pressure evenly around the bolt head.
2. Bolt Protection:
Reduces friction during tightening and loosening, which increases bolt life.
3. Anti-Loosening Support:
Minimizes loosening of fasteners due to vibration and thermal expansion.
4. Cost-Effective:
Mild steel is significantly more affordable than stainless steel or high-tensile materials, making it ideal for mass production and cost-sensitive projects.
