RE: [MW:3736] Bolts/Nuts Material

As ASTM A193 bolts are not stainless steel there is no issue with oxide film

RP,   Thanks, I should not deviate from company specs, what I can do is whether to approve the vendor proposal or not. on A193 GR. B8 HDG may not stick unless zinc penetrates the passive oxide film on SS Does A193 Gr. B7 material can be HDG? ohm guru namasivaya --- On Wed, 11/25/09, Ramprasad Chari <ramprasad.chari@gmail.com> wrote: From: Ramprasad Chari <ramprasad.chari@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [MW:3732] Bolts/Nuts Material To: materials-welding@googlegroups.com Date: Wednesday, November 25, 2009, 9:26 AM Zinc Electroplating is not a very durable/useful coating.Its thk is also around 15 microns only.Better ones are Cadmium Plating,Hot Dip galvanizing and Barium carbonate coating.
