Steel flat washer, trivalent chrome plating.
When the hole diameter of the material being fastened is larger than that of the screw, it can stabilize the screw head. By increasing the surface area of the screw head, the adhesion to the material can be enhanced. It is also referred to as a washer or flat washer. This product is compliant with EU-RoHS standards.

Applications/Examples of results
Steel is widely used as a material for screws due to its easy availability and strength. Based on carbon steel, which primarily consists of iron (Fe) and carbon (C), alloy steels that have undergone heat treatment or have additives such as chromium and molybdenum are used according to their applications, considering shape, strength, and corrosion resistance. Trivalent chromate is a surface treatment that serves as an alternative to chromate plating, providing corrosion resistance equal to or greater than traditional chromate treatment without containing harmful hexavalent chromium. Additionally, it can control the decrease in corrosion resistance that occurs during heating, which is a drawback of chromate treatment. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of environmental measures globally, and many industries, including automotive and semiconductors, are considering alternatives to hexavalent chromium, with trivalent chromate being used as a substitute for chromate plating. On the other hand, compared to chromate treatment, managing the process conditions such as the stirring state of the plating material, immersion time, temperature, and pH can be challenging, which may lead to inconsistencies in appearance and color. Furthermore, in general chromate treatment, the color may change as corrosion begins.
