Why plating and coating specifications matter for fasteners

September 26, 2025
By the Blue Print Editorial Team
When it comes to fasteners, the finish is more than just a final touch — it’s a critical decision that affects performance, durability, and compliance. This webinar explores the challenges and considerations involved in selecting the right plating or coating, from corrosion resistance and torque-tension behavior to restrictive substances and regulatory standards. We’ll take a closer look at common specifications like ASTM F1941/F1941M and F3393, and demystify accelerated corrosion tests such as ASTM B117. Whether you're working with zinc, zinc-nickel, or zinc flake coating, we’ll walk through a systematic approach to help you make the right finish decision for your specific application and environment.
