Square Washers
Square washers fit into slots and channels and have flat sides to keep them from rotating. They are wider and thicker than most round washers, making them good for distributing heavy loads.
Black-oxide steel washers are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
Zinc-plated steel washers are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
Galvanized steel washers are 10 times as corrosion resistant as zinc-plated steel washers.

Split Lock Washers
As a screw is tightened, these washers flatten to add tension to the joint, counteracting fatigue around the joint from small amounts of vibration. This makes them a common choice to prevent fasteners from loosening. However, they resist the least amount of vibration compared to other locking washers.
These washers are compatible with fasteners that have right-hand threads to prevent clockwise rotation. The uneven split ends bite into fasteners for a tight grip, but they won’t work with hardened surfaces. These washers hold better than curved or wave washers. They are not reusable after tightening.
Black-oxide steel washers are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
316 stainless steel washers have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water. They may be mildly magnetic.
18-8 stainless steel washers have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic.
Zinc- and zinc yellow-chromate plated steel washers are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
Washers that meet ASME B18.21.1 adhere to strict dimensional standards. Steel washers also meet standards for material properties.

Wedge Lock Washers
These two-piece washers provide more locking power than split, tooth, and spring lock washers. Wedges on the inside lock the two pieces together, and serrations on the exterior grip surfaces to resist loosening from high vibration and shifting. Washers are reusable.
Zinc-flake-coated steel washers are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
316 stainless steel and zinc-flake-coated steel washers are comparable to NORD-LOCK® Series washers.

Triple-Wave Washers
With three points of surface contact, these washers provide more stability than single-wave washers. They are curved and flexible to act like springs, compensating for tolerance variations and uneven surfaces. You can also use them to damp vibration.

Leveling Washers
Also known as spherical washers, these consist of a male and female washer that, when nested, swivel slightly to compensate for tolerance variations and uneven surfaces. They're good for die and fixturing applications.
