NFDA Virtual Conference - March 3, 2021
Laurence Claus - NNi Training and Consulting

This short presentation will provide a high-level introduction of why customers purchase electroplated and coated fasteners, the basic mechanisms how they protect steel fasteners, the more common types of electroplating and coating, and common discussion points or concerns associated with these methods (such as environmental issues, accelerated corrosion testing, and internal hydrogen embrittlement.) Although the same finish or family of finishes can vary significantly on both the performance and cost continuum, this presentation will attempt to demystify this and leave participants with a better and more thorough understanding of fastener platings and coatings.
