Role of High-End Corrosion Testing Of Fastener Plating

Fasteners are used as an important component of almost every machine. They are like joints and bring connectivity in machines. And if the base joints stay strong, the machine will perform better and for longer. Therefore, it is important that, manufacturers must choose nothing but the best quality fastener. To ensure the same, it’s vital to get the product tested for its resistance towards corrosive environment, the most common type of quality drawback. In this blog, let’s know more about how to improve the quality of fasteners by testing them with Salt Spray Chamber - HMI Touch Screen.

Ferrous Fasteners or other Metal Products that are mixed with iron molecules are prone to corrosion. As fasteners are used in every machine, that can be further gets exposed to water, salt water, humidity, rain, air moisture etc. Hence, can’t be protected from a possible corrosive environment. To prevent the same, they are often plated by coating and painting. The oil-based paints prevent the moisture to enter inside and act as a barrier between the water molecule and the metal surface. However, it depends on the quality of the plating and the fastener itself that in how much exposure it fails and gets corroded. Therefore; the only solution that remains is predicting the behaviour of a fastener under a corrosive environment.

Salt Spray Chamber with HMI Touch Screen, is a high-end corrosion testing solution that brings latest and next-generation solution to salt spray testing and helping users in predicting the exact time period after which their coating, paint or plating fails and they oxidize to corrode. The equipment runs accelerated salt fog test that helps in evaluation of year-long result within few hours of test. The corrosion tester which is an efficient Paint, Plating & Automotive Testing Instrument, is equipped with HMI Touchscreen bringing all functionality on one touch of your finger. The user can easily set parameters, the test time and initiate the program. It has auto-mode safety features that warns and also stops at any accidental situations. There is no need to attend the machine during test as it comes with automatic salt spray diffuser that is connected to a salt solution tank.

With such advancement, the fastener producers or manufacturers of plating can assure better quality inspection and that too in shorter period of time. With this one can ensure high-quality corrosion testing with technically advanced machinery.
