Why we use plating and coating

Corrosion and wear are great enemies to fasteners. Once corrosion starts, it causes fasteners to break down rapidly, which reduces their effectiveness along with their lifespan. This makes corrosion protection, with coating systems and plating techniques, a really important process. 

Fasteners made from carbon or steel alloys, that are subject to harsh environments or hazardous chemicals, need plating or coating for protection. Fasteners that are applied without a kind of corrosion resistance can compromise their assembly, which is dangerous and costly to replace.
