Originally, the cable hangers were galvanized. However, due to the continuous expansion and contraction of the cables which sit on the hangers, cables were experiencing wear against the rough galvanized surface. As a solution to this problem, Sherardizing of the cable hangers provides a smooth, corrosion resistant surface, protecting both the cable hangers and cables from wear.
Since 1985 Bodycote have supplied Westinghouse Brake and Signal with these quality Sherardized components and, owing to the increasing recognition of the benefits of Sherardizing, have recently supplied a further quantity to Singapore.
Reasons for specifying Sherardizing:
- Long-term corrosion protection
- Damage and wear resistant coating
- Uniform, smooth coating even over irregular-shaped components
