How critical is this condition on the washer to the joining application and performance.
My personal opinion is none, since the washer is just distributing the load of...
See attachement. It is a picture of the sample I checked and shows different depth, the visual examination shows a less deep casing base on the structure and or apperance. Sorry for the pic. my camera is not a high resolution one. But you can tell that the casing ends some where around the 50...
