Zinc plated lifting eyes
Zinc plated lifting eyes
(OP)
Hi,
I need to purchase some DIN 580 lifting eyes. I was wondering if there is any danger in using zinc plated ones. I know that zinc plating is bad for threaded fasteners in fatigue if they are over a certain hardness. Does anyone know if this would apply to these lifting eyes?
Thanks,
J

If they are certified, that certification would include whatever coating is on them.
