Keeping a bolt tight in a hot frying pan
That's the problem. Lovely non-stick frying pan, but the handle loosens frequently. Wife got a replacement for the stove, but wants to keep this one for baking. So, removed the handle. It was not as I thought, a problem from a steel machine screw going into an aluminum pan. There is a steel bracket that the screw threads into. And there is a split washer on the screw, but it seems to be to have gotten flattened. While the pan doesn't get really hot, it does, apparently, get hot enough to remove any temper in that split washer. So, my question, does anyone know if there are split washers or the like, made for a "high" temperature environment? This is right now purely for information. Unless she buys another pan, it is of purely intellectual interest. tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich.

The "belleville" type I believe they call them, is a "pretensioning spring". |

... Keeping a bolt tight in a hot frying pan .... tschus pyotr ================================== The bolts through this Zytel nylon bracket kept loosening until I drilled and safety wired their heads. https://tinyurl.com/yctw5dcp The wire is just loosely bent so it doesn't shake out, not twisted together, and it's kept the pump and motor bolts tight for over 20 yrs. |

And John B. is right: tightening pot handles is part of being married. |
