Methods for Combating Fastener Corrosion
Corrosion is a major threat to fastener integrity; using stainless steel or specialized coatings can significantly improve longevity.
Understanding the application
Corrosion prevention begins with understanding moisture, chemicals, temperature and the materials in contact.
Selection & technical considerations
Select compatible materials and a specified protective finish. Coating damage, trapped moisture and dissimilar metals can reduce expected service performance.
Practical checks before use
Agree exposure-related testing and maintenance requirements. Corrosion-test results do not directly guarantee a fixed service life in every environment.
A complete enquiry includes
- Product type and reference standard or approved drawing
- Thread diameter, pitch, length and dimensional requirements
- Material, property class and specified surface finish
- Quantity, inspection documents and delivery destination
