DIN 7349 Thick Flat Washer — A4 Marine Stainless Steel (SUS316), Natural Finish
FULLERKREG DIN 7349 thick flat washers are manufactured to DIN 7349 standard in A4 marine-grade stainless steel (SUS316 / 1.4401) with a natural cleaned and passivated finish. DIN 7349 washers are specifically designed for use with bolts that have heavy-type spring pins (DIN 7346 / ISO 8752), featuring a larger outer diameter and greater thickness than standard DIN 125 flat washers for superior load distribution. A4 stainless steel adds 2–3% molybdenum to the A2 (SUS304) composition, delivering significantly enhanced resistance to chloride corrosion, seawater, and aggressive chemical environments — the preferred choice for marine, offshore, and coastal applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main advantage of A4 over A2 stainless steel?
A: A4 (SUS316) contains 2–3% molybdenum, which significantly enhances resistance to chloride pitting, seawater corrosion, and aggressive acids. A2 (SUS304) is suitable for general atmospheric and freshwater use, but A4 is required wherever chloride exposure is a concern.
Q: What is DIN 7349 and how does it differ from DIN 125?
A: DIN 7349 is a thick flat washer designed for bolts with heavy-type spring pins (DIN 7346). Compared to DIN 125, DIN 7349 washers have a larger outer diameter and greater thickness, providing a wider bearing surface and better load distribution in heavy-duty applications.
Q: Is A4 stainless suitable for full seawater immersion?
A: A4 (SUS316) performs well in seawater splash zones and salt-air environments. For continuous full immersion in seawater, super duplex or higher-grade alloys may be considered for critical structural applications. Contact FULLERKREG for application-specific guidance.
Q: What strength class are these washers supplied in?
A: Standard supply is A4-70. A4-50 and A4-80 are available upon request. Please specify your required strength class when ordering.
Q: Are these washers RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. FULLERKREG A4 stainless steel washers are fully RoHS and REACH compliant. Compliance documentation is available upon request.
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, chemical composition reports, and dimensional inspection reports are available for all orders upon request.
