Construction

In the construction industry, high demands are made on the durability of the materials used. Fixing materials are essential for safe construction. The corrosion protection must not have a negative effect on the properties and the quality of the attachment.

During sherardizing a uniform, hard, wear resistant and corrosion resistant zinc layer is applied, even in the case of complicated product shapes. The process makes hydrogen embrittlement technically impossible. Sherardizing provides safe and lasting protection to the connections used for steel constructions.

This is very important in the case of high-strength steel fixing materials which are used, for example, in steel framed building construction, tunnels, hydraulic work, pontoons and (bailey) bridges. Diffusion galvanized HV bolt connections, hinge shafts, locking pins and locking rings connect the steel components rapidly and reliably.
