Ogee Washer

Materials

Cast Iron  – Traditional choice for heavy-duty or vintage-style drainage systems, though less common today.

Stainless Steel – Offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, commonly used in plumbing and marine applications. Grades like 304 and 316 are popular.

Coating

1.Hot-Dip Galvanizing

 A thicker zinc coating applied by dipping the washer in molten zinc, offering superior rust protection for outdoor or industrial use.

2.Passivation (for Stainless Steel)

 A chemical treatment that removes free iron from stainless steel surfaces, enhancing corrosion resistance while maintaining a natural metallic appearance.

Key Features of an Ogee Washer:

1.S-Shaped Design – The curved "ogee" (double curve resembling an elongated S) allows the washer to flex slightly, accommodating minor misalignments and reducing stress concentrations.

2.Load Distribution – It helps distribute the load from a bolt or nut over a wider area, preventing damage to softer materials like wood or composite structures.

 3.Vibration Resistance – Often used in applications where vibrations or dynamic loads are present, helping maintain bolt tension.

Applications:

Structural Steelwork  – Used in bolted connections for beams, columns, and trusses.

Timber Construction  – Prevents crushing of wood when tightened with bolts.

 Bridge & Heavy Machinery  – Provides stability in high-stress environments.

Comparison to Other Washers:

Unlike flat washers, ogee washers have a contoured shape for better flexibility.

They differ from spring washers, which are designed primarily to prevent loosening, whereas ogee washers focus on load spreading and alignment.
