178 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK ALL-PRO FASTENERS FASTENERS & CORROSION: AVOIDING PROBLEMS IN ADVANCE from page 177 The quality of the coating application is critical, due to the fact that any defect can lead to severe localized corrosion. A number of different methods are used to apply coatings, including hot- dipping, sherardizing, electrodeposition, electroless plating, cladding, thermal spraying, physical vapor deposition, sputtering, evaporation, ion plating, laser surface alloying, chemical vapor deposition, brushing, rolling, spraying, and immersion bath. Selection of a preferred coating method for a given application is typically based on an overall analysis of the coating type, substrate, surface area, and possible environmental restrictions. ¤ ZINC - The term “galvanization” refers to the application of a zinc coating to the surface of a metal. Zinc is a less expensive alternative to cadmium and is the most frequently used coating in industrial applications. ¤ PHOSPHATE - In addition to being used for corrosion protection, metal phosphate coatings provide a good surface to which other coatings – such as corrosion inhibitors and other coatings – can adhere. Phosphate coatings can be applied by either a spraying or immersion process (immersion is the preferred process since more homogenous coating is produced). ¤ NICKEL - Nickel is useful as a corrosion protection coating, and as an undercoat for other coatings. The use of nickel-phosphorous coatings provides a superior level of corrosion resistance when compared to the use of nickel coatings alone. ¤ CADMIUM - Cadmium is a preferred coating for steel due to the fact that it provides corrosion protection in moist or marine environments. Environmental concerns are a factor when considering the use of cadmium, and it should be avoided in situations that may contaminate the environment. Zinc and tin coatings can provide suitable alternatives. ¤ SERMAGARD ® - SermaGard coatings are widely used in chemical and petrochemical processing, and other applications. A ceramic-metallic sprayed base coat, cured at high temperatures and burnished to allow conductivity, is normally combined with a proprietary fluorocarbon topcoat. The result is a protective coating that can be used at high temperatures, is effective in salt atmospheres, and gives superior corrosion resistance and UV protection. ¤ XYLAN ® - Xylan is an “extreme performance” fluoropolymer coating designed to prevent corrosion and facilitate makeup torque on fasteners and machined components. These coatings form “plastic alloys” with unique properties to deliver high-level chemical and corrosion resistance in environments containing water, saltwater, acids, bases, solvents, and other liquids. Xylan coatings are waterborne, VOC compliant, resin bonded, and thermally cured, utilizing a single “dry film” lubricant. Other Types of Coatings Aluminum, lead, copper, chromium and tin are additional types of metallic coatings that can enhance corrosion resistance. In addition, organic coatings (such as paint, varnish, and lacquer), can be considered for use in any given application. Specialty Coatings A wide range of specialty coatings are available to provide additional performance characteristics when needed for given applications, including lubrication, hydrophobic perfor-mance, flexural strength, and other properties. Conclusion Corrosion is a costly problem that can be successfully avoided and/or mitigated through proper evaluation and materials selection. In potentially corrosive environments, the process of fastener design, manufacturing, and selection requires an awareness of environmental factors and forms of corrosion that may be active in the environment. Other application-specific information is also important in addressing potential corrosion issues. Through the proper selection and application of materials and coatings, engineers, project managers and purchasing personnel can identify fastener solutions that resist the effects of corrosion, while meeting other specified application requirements. In this manner, fasteners can be made to ensure expected performance over the expected service life. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) NACE International has become the global leader in developing corrosion prevention and control standards, certification and education.

THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 179 Goebel Fasteners, Inc. announces a new and exciting partnership with Accufast, Inc. as their official master distributor for Western Canada. The two companies entered into an agreement that sees Accufast, Inc. become the exclusive master distributor for Goebel Fasteners, Inc. across Western Canada, which includes the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. “Goebel Fasteners, Inc. is pleased to partner with Accufast, Inc. to exclusively distribute our blind fastening product lines and new M-Grip Lockbolt System throughout Western Canada. Accufast is an industry leader who provides extensive knowledge about blind fastening systems and the proper tooling to ensure the best parts are used in every application. They are a great fit for our company’s vision and we are looking forward to working together for years to come.”, said Marcel Goebel, CEO of the Goebel Group. Murray Mathers, President of Accufast, Inc. was equally pleased stating. “The team at Accufast is excited to be recognized as the official master distributor for the Western Canadian region. The ability to collaborate and develop new products and solutions alongside strong industry partners has long been a key priority at Accufast and the opportunity to work on this with Goebel has been excellent thus far. Over the last few years our inventory has grown significantly, and by partnering with Goebel to look after western Canadian distribution, we will be able to better fill client’s needs from our recently acquired much larger Edmonton warehouse facility and provide even faster access to the extensive range of fasteners, cordless tools, and unique products such as the all new stainless M-Grip. We look forward to growing our business together and continuing to partner in the development and realworld testing of revolutionary fastening solutions for the Canadian market.” The team at Accufast has a history of consistently responding quickly to their customer’s needs.
