Part of the Materials and quality guides.
Coatings and metallurgy decide corrosion resistance, strength and fatigue life, while test standards define what a part must survive. These guides cover plating, brazing, sintered components, steel selection and the standards used to validate them.
Coatings, metallurgy and joining
Plating, brazing, sintering and steel selection decide durability under load and corrosion.

Frequently asked questions
What does salt spray testing actually prove?
It measures corrosion resistance under one accelerated condition. A good result is a useful indicator, not proof of real-world durability in every environment.
Why does steel grade matter for the same part?
Strength, toughness and machinability differ between grades. A higher grade may be essential for a loaded component and unnecessary cost for a lightly stressed one.
