Greenkote (Querétaro, Mexico), a provider of anti-corrosion metal coatings, has announced an advance in its line of corrosion protection. The new Greenkote G5k coating is stated to deliver a minimum of 5000 hours of corrosion protection in salt spray testing for metals, enabling it to meet ASTM Specification B117.
The company states that Greenkote also eliminates the introduction of hydrogen embrittlement, which is an intrinsic problem with many traditional anti-corrosion coatings. The Greenkote coating process is also designed to not use any hazardous chemicals or produce any toxic byproducts. Greenkote coatings can be applied to a broad range of metal parts, from threaded fasteners to stamped and cast pieces, in sizes from 0.2 to 78 inches.
The ASTM Specification B117 is an industry-standard for accelerated testing of the corrosion resistance of metals and coated metals in a salt-spray corrosive environment over time.

Masking for Surface Finishing
Masking is employed in most any metal finishing operation where only a specifically defined area of the surface of a part must be exposed to a process. Conversely, masking may be employed on a surface where treatment is either not required or must be avoided. This article covers the many aspects of masking for metal finishing, including applications, methods and the various types of masking employed.
