"Flash" and/or "Burrs":
During the manufacturing process, fine "Hairlike" pieces of the material can form. This is called Flash. Burrs occur when there is a build up of the material along the exterior wall of the washer. This can be due to the composition of said material or clearance between bushing and punch. Sometimes tumbling may remedy the problem.


"Pitting" or "Breakout":
On occasion the wall or edge of the washer may be void of material. This is usually the result of the material. During the manufacturing process, the resin or the substrate material (i.e. Canvas or Glass) may not adhere properly or you may come across hot and cold "spots" while the resin is setting. Most of the time this will not effect the performance of the materials. Consult our office if questions arise.


KDC:
With the advent of QS-9000 and in certain cases, ISO-9000, key designation characteristics are appearing on blueprints. With "symbology", KDC gives importance to dimensions by using terms like critical, major, minor, pollution and safety. For further information consult with our home office.
