All-Pro Fasteners
is offering a free
download of a new
whitepaper, Fastener
Corrosion: Avoiding
Problems in Advance.
The whitepaper
discusses the leading
causes of corrosion,
various types of
corrosion, and the
strategies for minimizing or avoiding corrosion
through the selection of fastener materials,
designs, and coatings.
Each year, the effects of corrosion take a
staggering toll on the global economy – the
equivalent of 3.4% of global GDP. In addition
to economic costs, the destructive forces of
corrosion can lead to serious compromises in
the safety, performance of lifespan of machines,
installations, and infrastructure.
Corrosion engineers can provide guidance on
materials, coatings, and strategies to mitigate
corrosive processes. In doing so, they must assess
a variety of factors, including environmental
conditions, application requirements, estimated
product/system lifetime, and available mitigation.
Fasteners, often the least expensive
component in a system’s ¬design, deserve
particular attention in the fight against corrosion.
The proper selection of materials, coatings,
and platings can help ensure desired fastener
performance over the life of the installation
methods.
“This is the first whitepaper in our new Fastener
Facts series, which we are developing to help
customers, engineers, project managers and
purchasers involved in the fastener specification
process,” according to Todd Grzych, Director
of Marketing and Communications of All-Pro
Fasteners. “Throughout the series, we will
explore topics related to the specification, use,
and purchase of fastener products.”
