Mechanical Properties
Besides its resistance to corrosive elements, stainless steel washers have mechanical properties that function in extremely low and high temperatures. The material not only resists these extreme temperatures, but the mechanical properties also offer protection from friction, abrasion, and impact. This is why stainless steel washers are recommended in applications that experience elevated temperatures (up to 550 deg. F), as well as low-temperature (cryogenic) applications
Stainless Steel is Recyclable
An important aspect of stainless steel to consider is that it is sustainable and it is 100% recyclable. Due to its astounding durability, stainless steel can often last as long as the project lasts, but at the end of its life cycle, it can be recycled. Also, stainless steel is chemically inactive when in contact with water, so it will not release compounds into its environment. The material is ideal for applications such as rainwater recovery systems and water pipes.
