A Washer prevents damage to the surface being fastened. By distributing the load over a larger surface area, the washer helps to prevent the fastener from digging into the surface or causing it to deform. The thickness of a washer can also vary, with thinner washers often used in applications where space is limited.Attributes:• Provide a larger surface area to spread the load and prevent damage to the surface.• Prevent the loosening of the fastening device.• Protect against damage by distributing the load uniformly and reducing the tension on the fastener.• Withstand high temperatures without losing their strength or integrity.Applications:A Washer is used to distribute the load of the fastener over a larger area, which helps to prevent damage to the surface being fastened.
