Selecting the coating of a fastener is one of the first and most important decisions that an engineer must make. When making this decision, engineers must consider a myriad of important decisions. These decisions include: environmental conditions, corrosion resistance, temperature resistance, electrical conductivity, durability, and of course, cost of the

Stainless Steel Fasteners vs. Coated Fasteners in Plastic Assemblies
How to balance Corrosion Resistance and Cost Efficiency for end users When fastener engineers and injection molding engineers work together, projects often start with targeted goals for the component. Two goals that we often work toward with any partner at CFI are corrosion resistance and cost efficiency. With injection molding
