Hot Dip Galvanised Strut Channel

 Hot Dip Galvanised Strut Channel

Hot dip galvanized strut channels are a fairly recent addition to the world of ladder clamps. Whilst they have seen a fair amount of press and 'image damage' from some of the more 'photo-friendly' members of the general public, the benefits of hot-dip galvanised strut channeling are widely recognized within the construction industry and the automotive industry in general. The use of hot dip galvanized strut channeling in the construction industry has seen a marked increase over the last few years, due to the adoption of lighter weight materials. As a result, many of the constructional products used in the building / renovation / building industry now utilise smaller, lighter aluminium frames to create components which are stronger and more compact, while utilising significant amounts of energy and time (hours) less. It has also helped that the current generation of 'green' construction materials and methods is more environmentally aware than ever before - even using recycled components whenever possible.

As well as utilising thinner materials, the increased strength and dimensional accuracy achieved by hot dip galvanised strut joints enable the use of a wider variety of fasteners within a single product. These solutions are particularly popular with the auto / truck / car / boat industry where the ability to utilise maximum bolt heads / pins / fasteners / tracks / hinges etc... within a single component is very important. In other words, the increased size of a hot dip galvanised strut joint enables component manufacturers to provide a much greater degree of choice to their customers.

Many of the components of modern day vehicles have been manufactured using high precision machinery. This machinery is now starting to apply its skills to the automotive industry where the design and manufacture of components such as chassis, drivetrains, brakes and clutch systems have become commonplace - leading to the need for precision components such as hot dip galvanised strut joints. A hot dip galvanised strut joint is produced when a piece of metal is charged with an electric current. The charge is conducted through the metal from the positive side to the negative side in order to create a mechanical bond between the metal and the fitting ends. The presence of a metal clip at one end of the fitting ensures that the fitting is fixed firmly in place.

Hot dip galvanised strut joints have proven to be extremely strong. They are so strong that the material which they are made of is often times sufficient to withstand a tremendous amount of force if applied without rupturing or wearing the material. Furthermore, due to the nature of the electrical charge which is used in their manufacture; the ends of these components have a tendency to be left open when the fitting is being utilised, thereby preventing excessive corrosion occurring. This in turn ensures that the components remain free of rust should they be placed in an area where there is likely to be moisture present for a considerable period of time. This is a significant benefit as it helps to protect the life of your vehicle's component accessories such as drivetrains and brake pads.

Hot dip galvanised joint systems also offer the fitting of a more customised type of joint allowing you to add extra strength to the strut bar or strut sleeve. They are also commonly used in the manufacture of drop down rear suspensions where additional strength is needed in the suspension system to minimise the chances of the entire structure collapsing in a accident. Furthermore, they are also used in conjunction with strut bars in the manufacture of rear wheel drive vehicles. When fitting a strut bar joint in your vehicle you will find that Hot dip galvanised components are extremely effective when it comes to providing a secure fit and greater strength than a standard strut bar joint. They are able to do this due to the small gap between the top of the connecting bars.

In addition to being highly effective, they also offer a number of distinct benefits to the users of these Hot dip galvanised joints. Firstly, they have the ability to resist corrosion and are therefore far less likely to suffer from the corrosion that can take place with conventional strut bars. Secondly, due to the increased rigidity of the connecting bars, the chances of the joining pieces becoming loose or corroding each other is dramatically decreased. Lastly, due to the increased stiffness in the top section of the strut housing, when the vehicle moves the suspension system will not be damaged as easily, thereby ensuring that the car's overall reliability and longevity is not affected. If you are looking for a durable yet stylish way to upgrade the look of your car then consider adding a Hot dip galvanised strut joint.
