Return to : Cover Page Page1  Table IV   Same Test on Plain Steel Bolt

specimen3.jpg (91881 bytes) A new Skema galvanized
friction bolt subjected to
salt fog corrosion testing
for a period of 11 days.


Total weight loss due to
corrosion 0.57%

In our opinion attack of corrosion was absorbed by the galvanized coating

The weight loss from corrosion is only half that suffered by plain steel bolts !
