Air-Way Releases Upgraded Plating for Hydraulic Fittings
Monday, January 19, 2015
We're proud to announce we have recently released an upgraded plating for all our steel hydraulic fittings. The New Electrodeposited Zinc plating, which offers significantly higher corrosion resistance than its predecessor, is standard to all fittings, without impacting cost.
Under salt spray tests, the old Zinc Trivalent plating was resistant to white corrosion for 96 hours, and to red corrosion for 240 hours. The new Electrodeposited Zinc plating withstands white corrosion for 240 hours, and red corrosion for 360 hours, amounting to 2.5 times and 1.5 times increases in performance.
To demonstrate the new standard fittings’ value engineering, we have illustrated the salt spray test results in an infographic below:
