M24 SS202 Plain Washers – Precision Fastening for Heavy-Duty Performance
Introduction
In the world of industrial engineering, small components often bear the heaviest responsibilities. Among these, washers serve as unsung heroes in ensuring the reliability and stability of assemblies across various sectors. One such component that stands out for its performance, versatility, and cost-effectiveness is the M24 SS202 Plain Washer.
These flat, disc-shaped components are designed to perfectly complement M24 bolts, ensuring even load distribution, vibration resistance, and extended durability. Manufactured using high-quality SS202 stainless steel, they provide a robust alternative to costlier grades while retaining sufficient corrosion resistance and mechanical strength for most industrial applications.
The increasing demand for M24 SS202 Plain Washers stems from their excellent combination of material strength, precise fit, and affordability. Whether used in construction, automotive, mechanical, or heavy equipment industries, they play a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of bolted joints.
As a trusted supplier of industrial-grade washers, our company takes pride in producing components that conform to international standards, guaranteeing both performance and consistency. From design to delivery, we ensure each washer lives up to the expectations of engineering professionals around the world.
What Are M24 SS202 Plain Washers?
M24 SS202 Plain Washers are flat, round discs with a center hole designed to accommodate M24 bolts or screws. They are used in mechanical assemblies to evenly distribute the load applied by the bolt head or nut, which helps prevent surface damage, reduces the chance of loosening due to vibration, and improves the overall stability of the fastening system.
The key functions of M24 SS202 Plain Washers include:
Load Distribution: Prevents localized stress by spreading force across a larger area.
Vibration Resistance: Acts as a cushion that reduces loosening caused by operational movement.
Surface Protection: Prevents galling, marring, or indentation on connected materials.
These washers are crafted from SS202 stainless steel, a cost-effective alloy with good tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance. This makes them suitable for both indoor and light outdoor environments where high-load performance is necessary but exposure to extreme conditions is limited.
Material Details: Why SS202?
SS202 stainless steel belongs to the austenitic family, offering an excellent balance between mechanical strength, formability, and affordability. It contains higher manganese and lower nickel content compared to SS304 or SS316, making it more economical for large-scale use without sacrificing functionality.
Composition of SS202:
Chromium: 17–19%
Nickel: 4–6%
Manganese: 7.5–10%
Carbon: 0.08% max
Comparison with SS304 and SS316:
SS202 vs SS304: While SS304 offers better corrosion resistance, SS202 provides similar strength at a lower cost, making it ideal for general industrial applications.
SS202 vs SS316: SS316 is ideal for marine and chemical environments. SS202, however, remains sufficient for moderate-duty use at a fraction of the price.
M24 SS202 Plain Washers benefit from this composition by offering:
Affordable yet durable construction
Adequate corrosion resistance for non-marine uses
High tensile strength suitable for mechanical fastening
Excellent value for general industrial and infrastructure projects
Manufacturing and Technical Specifications
Every M24 SS202 Plain Washer is manufactured under rigorous quality control standards using advanced CNC machines and precision stamping equipment.
Manufacturing Process:
SS202 raw material inspection and cutting
CNC machining or stamping for dimensional accuracy
Surface finishing (bright, matte, or passivated)
Visual and dimensional inspections
