DIN 128B Wavy Spring Lock Washer — 70# Spring Steel, Black Oxide
FULLERKREG DIN 128B wavy spring lock washers are manufactured to DIN 128 Type B standard in 70# high-carbon spring steel (Grade 70, per GB/T 699) with a black oxide surface treatment. DIN 128 Type B features a wavy (corrugated) profile with multiple waves around the ring circumference, generating distributed axial spring force with multi-point contact. The 70# spring steel achieves 40–50 HRC hardness after quench and temper. Black oxide is the preferred surface treatment for high-hardness spring steel — it produces a uniform Fe₃O₄ conversion coating with no hydrogen introduction, eliminating the embrittlement risk associated with electroplating at this hardness level.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is DIN 128 Type B?
A: DIN 128 Type B is a wavy (corrugated) spring lock washer with multiple waves around the ring circumference. It generates distributed axial spring force with multi-point contact, providing anti-loosening performance without sharp edges or surface marking.
Q: Why black oxide for 70# spring steel?
A: At 40–50 HRC, electroplating introduces hydrogen embrittlement risk. Black oxide is a chemical conversion coating (Fe₃O₄) applied without acid pickling or electrical current, eliminating this risk. It is the preferred finish for high-hardness spring steel in indoor/dry environments.
Q: Black oxide vs. zinc — which to choose?
A: Black oxide (1–3 um) is ideal for indoor, dry, or precision applications where minimal coating thickness is critical. Choose zinc plating (8–25 um) for outdoor or humid environments requiring better corrosion protection.
Q: What is 70# spring steel?
A: Grade 70 per GB/T 699, C 0.67–0.75%, achieving 40–50 HRC after quench and temper. Superior spring force and fatigue resistance vs. standard carbon steel. Distinct from 65Mn spring steel.
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, hardness reports, chemical composition reports, and RoHS declarations available upon request.
