ITEM DETAILS - The object in the image is a square washer, likely made of steel or stainless steel, possibly with a curved or slightly rounded edge. Function: Washers, including square ones, are used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener (like a bolt or screw) over a larger area, preventing damage to the fastened part and providing a smoother bearing surface for the nut to tighten against. Material: Square washers are commonly made from steel, and can be hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance, or made from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 marine-grade) for enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly in outdoor or harsh environments. Applications: They are frequently used in construction and building industries, especially when fastening timber or in conjunction with strut channel systems, to provide secure load.
