Product Overview
ASTM A325 washers are high-strength, carbon steel flat washers specifically designed for use with ASTM A325 structural bolts in steel construction. These washers are manufactured to provide a smooth, load-distributing surface under the bolt head or nut, preventing galling and embedding in structural steel connections. ASTM A325 washers conform to ASTM F436 standards for mechanical properties and dimensions, ensuring compatibility and performance in critical bolted joints such as bridges, buildings, and heavy steel frameworks.
These washers are heat-treated for hardness and are available in plain, hot-dip galvanized, and mechanically galvanized finishes to suit various corrosion environments. Their use is mandatory in slip-critical and direct-tension connections, as specified by AISC and RCSC guidelines.
