Flat washer spring washer

On the surface of it, flat washers and spring washers may seem to be the same, but in reality, they serve different purposes in the matter of the assembly of things. Flat washers are thin, flat-shaped pieces of metal that can be placed on a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or nut, to spread the fasteners load over a larger surface area, preventing the fastener from becoming embedded in the fastened surface. They shield the material from damage, and create a flat surface for the nut or bolt to tighten against. Springs are circular shaped but wavy or have the form of an spring. They are applied to add tension to a fastener assembly with ease of installation and are used to maintain tension on a bolt or nut to avoid loosening of the fastener.
