ASTM F436 Hardened Flat Washer
-------The High Strength Foundation for Structural Integrity
Hardened flat washer ASTM F436 is an essential component in various industrial applications where reliability and durability are paramount.
What is a F436 flat washer?
The ASTM F436 hardened flat washer is a precision-engineered, circular steel washer manufactured to meet the rigorous specifications set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
Made from high strength steel, these washers are designed to provide a secure and stable connection between the bolt and the surface it is fastened to. Its specialized heat treatment to achieve exceptional hardness, typically 35–45 HRC and dimensional consistency. This makes it ideal for use in applications where the fastener will be subject to heavy loads, vibration or other stressful conditions.
Primary Functions of Hardened Flat Washer ASTM 436
- Load Distribution. Distributes clamping force from heavy hex bolts and nuts over a larger surface area, preventing localized stress concentrations and material deformation in joint interfaces.
- Joint Integrity Maintenance. Ensures consistent preload tension in bolted assemblies, thus reducing the risk of loosening under dynamic loads.
- Surface Protection. The ASTM F436 washer's hardened surface also helps prevent it from deforming under pressure, ensuring a tight and secure fit that will not loosen over time.
Why Engineers Specify ASTM F436 Washers?
- Unmatched Strength. Through-hardened carbon steel resists deformation under extreme loads, which ensuring long-term structural stability and makes washer F436 ideal for construction, heavy machinery and automotive applications.
- Corrosion Resilience. Optional black, hot dip galvanzing, xylan or dacromet coatings extend service life in corrosive environments like offshore platforms or wastewater facilities. Hardened washer ASTM F436 supplied by Ningbo Fastenwell are available with all required coatings.

- Safety Compliance. Preventing bolts and nuts rotation and slippage, which is vital in structures or heavy machinery applications. Washers F436 ensure that your connections are secure and stable, no matter what conditions they are subjected to.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces maintenance frequency and joint failure risks, lowering total costs of contractors or end users.
