Electroplated fasteners are one of the top options when you need access to a corrosion-resistant fastening solution. These types of fasteners feature zinc coating that:
- Improves the appearance of bolts
- Provides superior corrosion resistance
- Enhances bolt life cycle
- Increases performance
These fasteners can be used in various applications and withstand many environmental factors. However, the quality and performance of your finished fasteners will depend on where you source them.
If you partner with a questionable provider, your fasteners might underperform. Even if they pass muster, you might need help getting them on time, which can cause project delays and cost you thousands.
When the success of an important project is at stake, you need high-performance fasteners delivered on time. It would be best if you worked with a reputable manufacturer like Dyson Corp. that always delivers promptly. When your products arrive, you can be confident they’ll outperform your expectations.
Our Electroplating Process
Dyson Corp. uses a proven electroplating process, which ensures consistent product performance.
The first step is to clean our fasteners. We use an alkaline detergent to get rid of any debris. Next, we treat them with acid. The acid removes oils and rust.
The final step is to apply the zinc coating. We submerge the fasteners into a pool of zinc. We then send an electrical current through the zinc bath, which causes the zinc to bind to the fasteners.
The electroplating process activates a chemical reaction between the fastener and the zinc. That’s why this process creates such a resilient coating.
Why Use Electroplated Fasteners?
There are several different ways to coat fasteners. Electroplating isn’t the only option. However, it’s one of the most common methods. That’s because electroplating offers clear benefits. Here are three advantages.
1. Aesthetics
Electroplated fasteners look good. The zinc coating provides a uniform appearance, which will hold up over time due to its corrosion resistance. As such, the fasteners will look great for years.
What do aesthetics have to do with your project? Quite a lot, actually.
When your project is aesthetically pleasing, your clients will better appreciate the build quality. Projects that look and perform great will instill confidence in your clients. In turn, this will foster feelings of loyalty toward your brand.
As you know, building a solid reputation is vital. Dyson Corp. will help you do that by providing you with components that are:
- Visually pleasing
- Durable
- Reliable
- 100% Made in America
When your reputation is on the line, don’t trust anything less than a Dyson Corp. fastener.
2. Resilience
These types of fasteners are highly resilient. The zinc coating allows you to use fasteners made from strong materials like steel without worrying about corrosion. The zinc will reduce contact with the following substances:
- Water
- Oxygen
- Other corrosive substances
The zinc creates a barrier between the fastener and contaminants, significantly increasing the fastener’s lifespan and performance.
You could purchase fasteners made from a corrosion-resistant material. The problem is that these options are cost-prohibitive. For example, platinum fasteners are corrosion-resistant but also quite expensive.
Similarly, aluminum fasteners are corrosion-resistant and cost-effective but can’t withstand high-stress uses.
Electroplated fasteners provide the ideal third option. These fasteners are more substantial than aluminum bolts and are much cheaper than platinum options.
3. Ease of Use
The zinc coating on these types of fasteners actually makes them easier to use. During the coating process, we wash and clean the fasteners. This process removes debris. It also washes away imperfections that could impact usability.
After the fasteners are washed, we coat them with a thin layer of zinc. This zinc layer reduces friction between the fastener and other surfaces, decreasing the chances of seizing during installation. The lack of friction can also prevent damage.
