DIN 137B Crinkled Spring Washer — A4 Marine Stainless Steel (SUS316), Whitened & Passivated
FULLERKREG DIN 137B crinkled spring washers are manufactured to DIN 137 Type B standard in A4 marine stainless steel (SUS316 / 1.4401 / 06Cr17Ni12Mo2) with a whitened and passivated surface finish. DIN 137 Type B is a crinkled (wavy) spring washer featuring multiple corrugations around the ring circumference, providing distributed multi-point axial spring force with a larger outer diameter than DIN 128B. A4 stainless steel contains 2–3% molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chloride corrosion, seawater, and acidic environments — the correct choice for marine, offshore, and coastal applications where A2 (SUS304) may suffer pitting corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is DIN 137 Type B?
A: DIN 137 Type B is a crinkled (wavy) spring washer with multiple corrugations around the ring circumference. It generates distributed multi-point axial spring force with a larger outer diameter than DIN 128B, providing higher load capacity and better load distribution. No sharp edges — no surface marking.
Q: What is the difference between DIN 137B and DIN 137A?
A: DIN 137A is curved (single dished arc); DIN 137B is crinkled/wavy (multiple corrugations). Both share the same outer dimensions. Type B provides multi-point contact; Type A provides continuous curved contact.
Q: Why choose A4 over A2 for marine applications?
A: A4 (SUS316) contains 2–3% molybdenum which significantly improves resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. In seawater, coastal, or chloride-rich environments, A4 is the correct choice where A2 (SUS304) may suffer pitting.
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, chemical composition reports, and dimensional inspection reports are available upon request.
