Lock washers are thin disk-shaped plates with a hole in the middle that distribute the load on fasteners and hold nuts in place. Most lock washers have an outer diameter twice as large as their inner diameter, which varies depending on their design. The shape of a lock washer is beneficial when they are compressed to the load near the bolt's proof strength, thus helping them flatten and twist. The bolted joint's spring rate is reduced by this process, which maintains a greater force under the same vibration levels, further preventing loosening. Most lock washers are split or toothed and made up of steel. Carbon steel, spring steel, and stainless steel are the different types of materials that are used in the production of washers. Some of the other materials that can be used to make these washers include copper, brass, bronze, zinc, aluminum, titanium, and iron.
The market is majorly driven by the escalating product demand across numerous end-use industries, such as automotive, heavy machinery, and aerospace. In addition to this, the rapid product utilization in construction, maintenance and repair activities is also providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, the increasing sales of automobiles, along with considerable growth in the transportation sector, is also creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Continual product developments, such as the introduction of sustainable, highly efficient and cost-effective lock washer variants to cater to new markets and consumers, are propelling the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market growth include rapid urbanization and industrialization, the flourishing manufacturing industry, the increasing number of construction projects, inflating disposable income levels and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
