M6 M8 Anodized Aluminum Flat Washers — 10 Anodized Colors, 12mm OD, 2mm Thick

Standard steel or zinc-plated flat washers are functional but add unnecessary weight and offer no color accent in lightweight precision builds where a bold color-matched or color-coded washer makes the assembly look intentional and professional — a real limitation in FPV drone frames, RC model assemblies, locomotive decoration, model modification, bicycle component mounts, and computer case builds where both weight savings and visual appearance matter. These M6 and M8 anodized aluminum flat washers combine a lightweight aluminum alloy body with a vibrant anodized color finish, available in 10 anodized colors in two metric sizes.

Each washer is machined from high-strength aluminum alloy with an anodized surface treatment for excellent corrosion resistance and rust prevention. The M6 washer has an inner diameter of 6mm, outer diameter of 12mm, and thickness of 2mm. The M8 washer has an inner diameter of 8mm, outer diameter of 12mm, and thickness of 2mm. Both sizes are compatible with their respective metric bolts, screws, and studs. Tolerance: ±0.3mm. Material: aluminum alloy (anodized). Non-magnetic and highly conductive.

These anodized aluminum flat washers are widely used in FPV drone frame assembly, RC model vehicle and airplane chassis builds, locomotive decoration and model modification, virtual space adjustment and spacer applications, high-end aluminum alloy bicycle frame and component assembly, computer case panel fastening, and any lightweight precision build where a color-matched, corrosion-resistant flat washer provides both functional load distribution and a clean anodized color accent at each fastener location.

Available in 2 metric sizes: M6 (ID 6mm × OD 12mm × Thickness 2mm) and M8 (ID 8mm × OD 12mm × Thickness 2mm). 10 anodized colors: Dark Red, Rose Red, Golden, Royal Blue, Sky Blue, Black, Silver, Green, Purple, Orange. Compatible with M6 and M8 bolts, screws, and studs. Tolerance: ±0.3mm.

✅ Key Features of These M6 M8 Anodized Aluminum Flat Washers

  • 🎨 10 Anodized Colors — Color-Match or Color-Code Your Build: Available in Dark Red, Rose Red, Golden, Royal Blue, Sky Blue, Black, Silver, Green, Purple, and Orange anodized finishes — 10 colors in total, including Orange not available in our screw range. Color-match your FPV drone frame, RC model chassis, bicycle frame, or computer case, or color-code different fastener zones for quick visual identification during assembly and maintenance. The anodized finish is integrated into the aluminum surface for a hard, color-fast layer that resists fading and chipping under normal use conditions.
  • Lightweight Aluminum Alloy — Non-Magnetic, Corrosion Resistant, Highly Conductive: Machined from high-strength heat-treatable aluminum alloy with good mechanical performance, good wear resistance, and good corrosion and oxidation resistance. Significantly lighter than steel flat washers of the same size, non-magnetic, and highly conductive, making these washers ideal for weight-sensitive FPV drone, RC aircraft, bicycle, and electronics enclosure builds where every gram of fastener hardware weight matters.
  • 🔘 Flat Washer Function — Load Distribution, Surface Protection, Spacing: Flat washers distribute the clamping load of a bolt or screw head over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of surface damage, deformation, or pull-through in softer materials such as aluminum, plastic, and wood. They also provide a smooth, consistent bearing surface for the fastener head, protect the surface finish at each fastener location, and can be used as thin spacers for virtual space adjustment in precision assemblies.
  • 📐 Two Metric Sizes — M6 and M8 with Identical 12mm OD: Available in M6 (ID 6mm × OD 12mm × 2mm thick) and M8 (ID 8mm × OD 12mm × 2mm thick). Both sizes share the same 12mm outer diameter and 2mm thickness, making them visually consistent across different bolt sizes in the same build. Select M6 for M6 bolts and screws, and M8 for M8 bolts and screws.
  • 🔬 Precision Machined — ±0.3mm Dimensional Tolerance: Each washer is precision machined to ±0.3mm dimensional tolerance, ensuring consistent fit across M6 and M8 bolts, screws, and studs in a wide range of materials including aluminum, steel, brass, and plastic. The anodized surface treatment provides a hard, wear-resistant layer that maintains dimensional accuracy at each fastener location.
  • 📦 Versatile Applications — Drones, RC Models, Bicycles, Computer Cases, Model Decoration: Suitable for FPV drone frame assembly, RC model vehicle and airplane chassis builds, locomotive decoration and model modification, virtual space adjustment, high-end aluminum alloy bicycle frame and component assembly, computer case panel fastening, and any lightweight precision build where a color-matched, corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum flat washer is needed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the M6 and M8 washer sizes?

The M6 washer has an inner diameter of 6mm (fits M6 bolts and screws) and the M8 washer has an inner diameter of 8mm (fits M8 bolts and screws). Both sizes share the same 12mm outer diameter and 2mm thickness, so they look visually consistent in the same build even when used with different bolt sizes. Select the size that matches your bolt or screw thread diameter.

Can these washers be used as spacers or shims?

Yes. At 2mm thickness, these flat washers can be used as thin spacers or shims for virtual space adjustment in precision assemblies — for example, to adjust the gap between two components, to set a specific standoff distance, or to fill a small gap in a stack of components. Stack multiple washers to achieve the required spacing in 2mm increments.

Are these washers compatible with standard M6 and M8 bolts and screws?

Yes. The M6 washer (ID 6mm) is compatible with standard M6 bolts, screws, and studs. The M8 washer (ID 8mm) is compatible with standard M8 bolts, screws, and studs. Both sizes are compatible with a wide range of head styles including socket cap heads, button heads, hex heads, and flanged heads. Tolerance: ±0.3mm.

Are these washers lighter than steel flat washers?

Yes. Aluminum alloy is significantly lighter than steel — typically about one-third the weight for the same dimensions. These washers are also non-magnetic and highly conductive, making them suitable for applications where magnetic interference must be avoided or electrical conductivity is required. Note that aluminum flat washers have lower load capacity than steel equivalents and are not suitable for high-load structural fastening applications.

Will the anodized color fade or chip over time?

The anodized finish is integrated into the surface of the aluminum rather than applied as a paint or coating, making it generally more resistant to fading and chipping than painted alternatives under normal use conditions. Hard impacts, heavy abrasion, or contact with strong alkaline or acidic chemicals may damage the anodized layer.

Can I use these washers in outdoor applications?

The anodized aluminum alloy construction provides good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, making these washers suitable for many outdoor applications under normal weather conditions. For highly corrosive environments (salt spray, prolonged immersion), stainless steel flat washers are generally recommended instead.

Why is the OD the same (12mm) for both M6 and M8 sizes?

Both the M6 and M8 variants of this washer share the same 12mm outer diameter and 2mm thickness by design, providing a visually consistent fastener detail across different bolt sizes in the same build. This is a design choice for aesthetic consistency rather than a standard DIN or ISO washer specification — standard DIN 125 washers for M6 and M8 have different outer diameters. If you require a larger OD for greater load distribution, please check our other washer listings.
