Lockwasher
From WikiPedalia
A washer with directional sharp edges to make a nut or bolt less likely to loosen up due to vibration. The edges are angled to work sort of like pawls, permitting the fastener to be tightened without undue friction, but biting into the fastener and/or surface of the part when the fastener tries to rotate in the loosening direction.
