ALTERNATIVES TO CADIUM COATED STUDS

[Carlos F Molina]

hI. We are currently reviewing changing the type of coating we apply to the studs OF our flanges. For many years we have installed cadmium-coated studs, which for the conditions of marine environments present excellent resistance, but for environmental and health issues, we are checking other options. Does anyone know options for a similar or superior coating?
