M10 x 13mm x 1mm Sealing Washers - Aluminium
Aluminium sealing washers, also known as aluminum crush washers or gaskets, are specialized components used to create a reliable and leak-proof seal between two surfaces. These washers are typically flat, thin, and circular with a hole in the centre to accommodate a bolt, screw, or other fastener. Here's a detailed overview of aluminium sealing washers:
Key Features
-
Material Composition: Made from high-quality aluminum, these washers offer a blend of lightweight properties and durability. Aluminium is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, making these washers suitable for use in various environments, including those exposed to moisture and certain chemicals.
-
Sealing Capability: Aluminium sealing washers are designed to deform under pressure, creating a tight seal between mating surfaces. This property makes them particularly effective in preventing leaks in fluid and gas systems.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The natural oxide layer on aluminium provides inherent protection against corrosion, enhancing the longevity and reliability of the seal in corrosive environments.
-
Temperature Resistance: Aluminium can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making these washers suitable for applications involving extreme heat or cold.
Applications
Aluminium sealing washers are used across various industries due to their versatile sealing properties. Some common applications include:
-
Automotive Industry: Used in engines, fuel systems, and brake systems to prevent leaks of oil, fuel, and brake fluid.
-
Plumbing: Provide a reliable seal in pipe connections, faucets, and other plumbing fixtures to prevent water leaks.
-
Aerospace: Used in hydraulic and fuel systems where lightweight and reliable seals are critical.
-
Industrial Equipment: Employed in machinery and equipment to seal connections and prevent leaks in pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
-
Marine Applications: Suitable for use in marine environments due to their corrosion resistance, ensuring a tight seal in boats and ships' systems.
Advantages
-
Lightweight: Aluminium's low density makes these washers ideal for applications where weight is a concern.
-
Durability: Despite being lightweight, aluminium washers offer good strength and durability.
-
Cost-Effective: Aluminium is relatively inexpensive compared to other materials like stainless steel, making these washers a cost-effective sealing solution.
-
Easy to Install: The malleability of aluminium allows these washers to conform easily to the surfaces they seal, simplifying installation.
