This standard finish is recommended over unfinished plain steel since it offers an extended shelf-life protection against rusting. THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THIS FINISH! |
 |
This finish provides 8-hour salt spray protection. |
 |
This finish provides 72 salt spray hours and can be used in place of costly stainless steel material in some applications. (Contact Rotor Clip Technical Sales for more information). |
 |
A coating is added to the finish to control loose phosphate crystals on the surface of the part. |
 |
This coating features a yellow dichromate post plating finish. It affords the metal excellent salt spray protection (96 hours) and is particularly effective for applications exposed to seawater. Rotor Clip SAE 1060-1090 steel retaining rings are zinc plated using a mechanical plating process, which effectively eliminates hydrogen embrittlement. |
 |
Most of the dichromate is leeched out of this process, leaving a 'bright' silver finish on the parts. ZF offers some corrosion protection (48 hours), but is widely used when the aesthetics of the part are a factor. |
 |
This improved finish offers corrosion protection of up to 240 hours of salt spray protection (HZDL offers 480 hours salt spray protection). It is a low cost substitution for costly non-corrosive materials such as stainless steel in some applications. Call for additional information. |
 |
This coating meets global requirements for hexavalent-free coatings, and Rotor Clip has worked with the automotive industry to write new standards for its use with retaining rings. Z3X, trivalent with a sealer, affords 240 salt spray hours of protection and is RoHs & ELV compliant. |
