DIN 128A Curved Spring Lock Washer — A4 Marine Stainless Steel (SUS316), Whitened & Passivated
FULLERKREG DIN 128A curved spring lock washers are manufactured to DIN 128 Type A standard in A4 marine stainless steel (SUS316 / 1.4401 / 06Cr17Ni12Mo2) with a whitened and passivated surface finish. A4 stainless steel contains 2–3% molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chloride corrosion, seawater, and acidic environments compared to A2 (SUS304). DIN 128 Type A is a curved (single-coil) spring washer that generates axial spring force through its curved profile, providing anti-loosening performance without marking or damaging bearing surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why choose A4 over A2 for spring lock washers?
A: A4 (SUS316) contains 2-3% molybdenum which significantly improves resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. In marine, coastal, or chloride-rich environments where A2 (SUS304) may suffer pitting corrosion, A4 is the correct choice.
Q: What is DIN 128 Type A?
A: DIN 128 Type A is a curved spring lock washer. The washer is formed into a single curved arc. When compressed under bolt load, it acts as a spring to maintain axial clamping force and resist loosening. Unlike DIN 127B (helical split), it has no sharp edges and does not mark bearing surfaces.
Q: Which screw types is DIN 128A designed for?
A: DIN 128A is specifically designed for cheese head screws (DIN 84 / ISO 1207) and pan head screws (DIN 7985 / ISO 7045).
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, chemical composition reports, and dimensional inspection reports are available upon request.
