The painting on previous jobs consisted of a an alkyd based primer followed by a urethane alkyd based top coat, so nothing with specifically designed anti-corrosion attributes.
Previous jobs would have only had a primer and single coat, the qualities of which I'm not sure but will investigate.
The three coat system makes since to me, however I'm unsure whether this would be effective on the bushing threads. Wouldn't these layers just get shredded once you install a...
The carbon steel bushing can't be changed unfortunately short of demolishing the concrete, which would be a last resort.
In the past we've used a carbon steel plate but painted, so that all components are carbon steel. And it has been sufficient.
In this application the painted carbon steel...
I have a customer that wants to connect a T304 electropolished stainless steel plate to an embedded carbon steel bushing. This will be near a pool so will regularly be exposed to pool water. I'm wondering how to design the connection to avoid galvanic corrosion.
Say you have a bolt going through an unthreaded hole in a plate, then into a second plate with a hole that is threaded. You are trying to hold the two plates together with this connection. Is the bolt being stretched at all to create a preload or clamping force? If not then what is keeping these...
I have a small stainless steel structure that will be anchored into a brick and mortar deck using a flange and bolt application.
This is something I've done before with a solid concrete deck, but my concern with a brick deck is that the bolt may cause the brick to crack and splinter, rendering...
