Why Choose Stephens Gaskets for DC01 Steel Washers?
As a leading UK supplier, we produce and supply high-precision DC01 Steel Washers to clients across sectors including automotive, electrical, fabrication, and appliance manufacturing. Whether you need standard or bespoke washers, we deliver solutions that ensure consistency, accuracy, and performance.
What Are DC01 Steel Washers?
DC01 Steel Washers are flat, round components made from cold-rolled low carbon steel under the EN 10130 European standard.
They are designed to:
- Distribute load.
- Minimise wear between components.
- Provide a consistent, smooth bearing surface.
- Act as shims or spacers in assemblies.
Benefits of DC01 Steel Washers
1. High Dimensional Precision
Cold-rolling gives uniform thickness and reliable tolerances for precise mechanical applications.
2. Smooth Surface Finish
DC01 provides a clean surface, ideal for parts that require painting or powder coating.
3. Excellent Formability
Low carbon content makes the material easy to stamp and shape into custom washer designs.
4. Consistent Performance
Every washer offers uniform strength and hardness across production batches.
5. Cost-Effective
More economical than stainless steel or brass while still delivering visual appeal and performance.
6. Eco-Friendly
Cold-rolled processing uses less energy and DC01 steel is fully recyclable.
Applications of DC01 Steel Washers
Our washers are suitable for a wide range of industries, including:
Industry-Specific Materials & DC01 Alternatives
While DC01 is ideal for dry indoor use, Stephens Gaskets also manufactures washers in:
- Stainless Steel: For corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor environments.
- Spring Steel: Where elasticity and tension are required.
- Copper & Brass: For conductivity and decorative finishes.
- Plastic & Nylon: Where insulation or non-marking properties are important.
- Aluminium: Lightweight and non-corrosive for specific fittings.
Limitations of DC01 Steel Washers
We ensure transparency about material limitations:
- Corrosion Risk: Not suitable for outdoor or high-moisture environments unless coated.
- Not Load-Bearing: Unsuitable for high-stress or impact-heavy applications.
- Surface Scratching: Requires care during handling to preserve finish.
- Heat Sensitivity: Not recommended for high-temperature environments.
- Additional Processing: Often needs oiling, painting or coating for long-term use.
- Not Hygienic Grade: Avoid in food and medical use cases.
If corrosion or heat is a concern, we recommend alternatives like stainless steel or spring steel.
