We use A36 carbon steel coil strip as the raw material. Each incoming batch is subject to strict testing, including spectral analysis of chemical composition, tensile and hardness mechanical tests, visual inspection for surface scratches, rust, pits and delamination, and thickness dimension verification of the steel strip. Any unqualified coil will be isolated and returned to the supplier. Only qualified raw materials can be released for production.
2.Stamping & Blanking:
The qualified steel strip is fed into the high-speed stamping press. The precision die punches the flat washer shape in continuous operation, forming the outer circle and inner hole at one time. The process controls the coaxiality of inner and outer diameter, flatness and thickness tolerance. Washer blanks with deformation, burr overflow or dimensional out-of-tolerance are directly sorted out during stamping.
3.Deburring & Degreasing Cleaning:
Stamped washer blanks are loaded into the tumbling barrel with abrasive media for vibratory deburring to remove sharp cutting edges around the inner hole and outer circumference. After tumbling, the washers go through ultrasonic cleaning tank to flush away stamping oil, metal debris and dust. Then clean compressed air is used for full drying to eliminate oil residue and moisture, preventing uneven black oxide coating.
4.Black Oxide Surface Treatment:
The dry washers are processed on the alkaline blackening line sequentially: surface activation, alkaline oxidation reaction, multi-stage rinsing, anti-rust sealing and hot air drying. Under controlled temperature and reaction time, a thin, uniform, adherent matte black oxide film forms on the carbon steel surface. Spot check is carried out to verify coating uniformity, adhesion and anti-rust performance, rejecting parts with mottled color and peeling film.
5.Sizing & Flatness Recheck:
After black oxide treatment, sampling is performed to recheck inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness and flatness. Warped washers and those out of tolerance are screened out. We also inspect the surface for scratches, pits and black film defects.
6.Final Inspection & Packaging:
Full sampling inspection according to the quality standard, covering dimension, surface appearance, black oxide integrity and sealing effect. Qualified washers are packed into moisture-proof plastic bags, then put into export cartons. Each carton is labeled with material grade, specification, batch number, quantity and inspection mark for warehouse storage and shipment.
