Aluminium Shim Washers

Aluminium Shim Washers Manufacturers

The metal aluminium is soft, ductile, and is one of the base chemical elements in the periodic table. Furthermore, it’s the third-most abundant element on Earth, after silicon and oxygen. However, it is rarely found in its pure form due to being so chemically reactive. At Stephens Gaskets, we manufacture and supply high-quality aluminium shim washers and mild steel washers.

Easily Machined And Moulded

Aluminium is the most widely-used non-ferrous metal in the world, with more than 50 million tonnes being produced every year. In fact, only iron is a more popular metal in terms of production.

In practical terms, it is almost always mildly alloyed, in order to enhance its properties. In addition, it is non-magnetic, does not ignite easily, reflects very well and is easily machined and moulded.

Moreover, it has good thermal and electrical conductivity. With this is mind, it’s easy to see why shim washers are such a popular material in a number of applications.
