Stainless steel washers are commonly available in two grades:
- 18-8/304 stainless steel: Offers good corrosion resistance and is suitable for mild conditions.
- 316 stainless steel: Provides superior corrosion resistance, particularly in harsh environments like marine or chemical applications.
- The grade of stainless steel impacts the washer’s strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion, making it important to choose the correct grade for your specific needs.
