How To Achieve 1000+ Hour Salt Spray with No Insignificant Surfaces and Zero Risk of Hydrogen Embrittlement
SPIROL is proud to introduce ArmorGalv® with 1,000+ hours of corrosion resistance as a standard finish option for their roll-formed Tubular Product lines including: Dowel Bushings, Spring Alignment Dowels, Ground Hollow Dowels, Compression Limiters and Spacers.
Thermal Diffused Zinc, a finishing process historically known as Sherardizing, has been used for corrosion protection of metal parts for over a century. Over the years, improvements have been made to the Sherardizing zinc/iron diffusion process. The modern, greatly improved process, known as ArmorGalv® is now being introduced to the fastener industry by SPIROL, and is poised to revolutionize the market. ArmorGalv® is anodic to steel and as such, provides long term sacrificial galvanic protection. Unlike traditional electroplating there is no risk of hydrogen embrittlement, adhesion is superior, coating thickness uniform, and all surfaces are covered. There are no insignificant surfaces. The affordability, durability, and low environmental impact of ArmorGalv® makes it ideal for today’s market.
