The fulcrum pins, which were designed to allow for this movement, required reliable wear and corrosion resistance. Sherardizing was specified as the process which delivered all the necessary properties; the coating not only gave the corrosion protection required, but also withstood the abrasion resulting from the fulcrum pin movement. Bodycote Sherardized 40 tonnes of fulcrum pins and washers for the project.
Reasons for specifying Sherardizing:
- Long-term corrosion protection
- Damage and wear resistance on moving parts
- Uniformity of coating on components for functionality
- Suitability for post paint treatments
- Many similar successful applications
