The Notion of “Appearance” in Coatings
Discover the role of aesthetics in fastener coatings. Learn about chemical, electrolytic, and mechanical processes, their uses, and pros and cons.
Corrosion resistance, strength, and stability are classic attributes of mechanical connections. However, aesthetics often play a crucial role as well.
Aesthetics encompass factors like color, shine, and surface quality, which are reflected in the appearance of coatings. Coatings are decisive in determining whether a fastener stands out or seamlessly blends in to its connection.
