Stainless Steel bolt corrosion

Stainless Steel bolt corrosion

Stainless Steel bolt corrosion

(OP)
I have an application of wet grinding metal oxides and the stainless bolts corrode even with a coolant system. I was thinking that some material to cover the bolts but that can be easily removed (possibly rubber). Does anyone know of a material that could be used? or been used before?

Need HELP!!

RE: Stainless Steel bolt corrosion

Try Plastisol.

RE: Stainless Steel bolt corrosion

Please try a Chrome Alumina (wet), Emerald Green, or any other wet plastique furnace patch. After applying, dry for 30 seconds with a torch, or apply small amount of alcohol and burn off.  The exterior of the plastic will harden immediately, protecting the surface of the bolt.  The interior will remain relatively soft for a period.  Once fully hardened, can be removed easily by mallet or chipping hammer and swept away.  The plastic patch systems I mentioned are usually good to 3000 degrees F.  Hope this helps.
