    Corrosion protection of bolts and structures

    ASTM A325 Bolts - Chrome Plated or similar finish

    Hello PT999, This might be coming a little late in the conversation but here's one definite possibility: a) galvanization recipes vary from one shop to another, but also from one client type to another. b) when the galvanization recipe includes more ALUMINUM is provides a very nice finish...
