In the clamping systems sector, the choice of material plays a crucial role in determining the product’s performance, durability, and reliability. Atlantic Man., specialized in the production of stainless steel hose clamps, has conducted comparative tests to demonstrate the superiority of stainless steel over galvanized iron, which is still widely used by many competitors.
Stainless steel vs galvanized iron: a matter of strength
Galvanized iron represents an economical and adequate solution for dry environments or areas with limited exposure to atmospheric agents. However, when operating in humid, salty, or thermally variable conditions, the durability of this material significantly decreases due to oxidation.
The stainless steel used by Atlantic Man. is instead designed to offer superior corrosion resistance and greater long-term stability, ensuring consistent performance even under harsh conditions.
Tests carried out by Atlantic Man.
We subjected our stainless steel clamps (W2) to resistance tests in a salt spray chamber, directly comparing them with galvanized iron clamps (W1) available on the market.
After 24 hours in the salt spray chamber
After just 24 hours, the galvanized iron products already showed the first signs of corrosion, with the appearance of white rust.
After 72 hours in the salt spray chamber
After 72 hours, deterioration was evident: widespread red rust and loss of integrity.
The Atlantic Man. stainless steel clamps, on the other hand, maintained unchanged mechanical and visual properties, demonstrating impeccable durability.
The right choice for professional applications
In industrial plants, automotive sectors, marine environments, or outdoor applications, clamps must ensure reliability and durability. Stainless steel is not only a quality choice but a true investment in terms of safety and maintenance savings.
