FASTENER CORROSION - AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM

FROM TWO TESTS CONDUCTED UNDER WIDELY DIFFERING SEVERE INDUSTRIAL ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS, ALUMINUM COATINGS FOR FASTENERS INDICATED SUPERIORITY OVER ZINC AND OTHER COATINGS. FOR LESS SEVERE CONDITIONS, A ZINC COATING CAN GIVE ADEQUATE PROTECTION AND POSSIBLY IS MOST ECONOMICAL. THOUGH INITIAL COST IS IMPORTANT IN THE SELECTION OF A COATING, REPLACEMENT COSTS, EASE OF REMOVAL BY ORDINARY WRENCHES, SAFETY OF INSTALLATION, AND RELIABILITY OF PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT AND PROCESSES ALSO MUST BE CONSIDERED. /AUTHOR/
