Hot-Dip Galvanizing vs. Zinc Flake Coating for Structural Fasteners
In steel structures, structural fasteners are not a secondary component. They are what holds the structure together—under static loads, dynamic loads, vibration, and constant environmental exposure.
Chousa at Agroactiva 2026: Anticorrosion Coatings for Argentine Agricultural Machinery
Agroactiva is the most important event in Argentina's agricultural industry. The place where machinery manufacturers, strategic suppliers, and the trends shaping the sector all come together.
El Quemado Solar Park: how Laurentcoat® protects the fasteners of Argentina’s largest solar park
The energy transition in Argentina is progressing with large-scale projects that position the country as a key player in renewable energy at the regional level. The El Quemado Solar Park is one of the most compelling examples of this process.
Anti-corrosion coatings for the electrical industry: fittings, fasteners, and connectors
Electrical infrastructure operates continuously under demanding environmental conditions. Transmission lines, substations, transformers and towers are exposed to permanent humidity, rain, industrial contamination, UV radiation and constant thermal cycling.
Brake Pad Retention Clips: The Risk No One Considers
The retaining clip is the most overlooked part of the braking system. It's also one of the most critical—especially in the automotive aftermarket, where the variety of applications and operating requirements makes selecting the right coating essential.
A325 Bolts and Corrosion: How to Prevent Failures in Steel Structures
A325 bolts are the core component of thousands of steel structures in Argentina. But many fail prematurely—and almost always for the same reason: the wrong coating.
Hydrogen Embrittlement: why a perfect part fails after zinc plating
A Class 12.9 bolt passes all quality controls, is installed correctly, and fails after 72 hours. There is no visible corrosion. There was no overloading. The problem occurred before assembly, during the coating process. It's called hydrogen embrittlement, and in the metalworking industry, it's one of the most underestimated failure modes.
The problem with 12.9 bolts in seed drills
In seeders, 12.9 bolts operate under particularly demanding conditions: constant vibration generated by the ground, repetitive dynamic loads, and continuous exposure to moisture, fertilizers, and accumulated dirt.
The Cost of Corrosion: How it impacts industrial profitability
Corrosion is often perceived as a technical problem. But in reality, it's an economic problem. Each corroded component not only implies material damage, but also a series of associated costs that directly impact the profitability of an operation.
B7 Stud Bolts in Oil & Gas Flanges: Corrosion Challenges in Service
En la industria del Oil & Gas, las uniones atornilladas son críticas para la integridad de equipos y sistemas de proceso. Bridas, válvulas y recipientes a presión dependen de la confiabilidad de estas fijaciones para operar de forma segura.
