History:
The use of lock washers dates back to the early industrial revolution, when engineers sought to improve fastening systems to combat issues with loose bolts. The development of the Hot Dipped Galvanized Ordinary Lock Washer was driven by the need for a corrosion-resistant solution in environments with high humidity, exposure to chemicals, and fluctuating temperatures. With the addition of a galvanized coating, these washers became a preferred choice for securing fasteners in industries like construction, automotive, and maritime, where durability and rust resistance are critical. Over time, advancements in galvanizing techniques have improved the washer’s longevity and performance, solidifying its place in modern mechanical and structural assembly.
