Fasteners – Hot-Dip Galvanizing. ISO 10684:2004 establishes specifications for hot-dip galvanizing of fasteners, such as screws, nuts, and bolts, to provide corrosion protection. Hot-dip galvanizing involves immersing fasteners in molten zinc, forming a protective layer resistant to corrosion. The standard specifies requirements for zinc coating thickness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance, along with test methods to verify compliance. Hot-dip galvanizing is particularly crucial for fasteners used in outdoor environments and structures exposed to moisture and aggressive substances.
