304 L : STAINLESS STEEL X2CrMi 18-10

(EN 10088-2 / AISI 304L) Good resistance to corrosion in natural and food atmospheres.

OTHERS COATINGS
EPOXY OR POLYESTER COLOURED COATINGS
These coatings are generally applied on continuous galvanised steel sheet (SZ) - For greater protection, it is recommended to select a hot-dip galvanised (HDG) finish. - For aesthetic requirements and inside buildings, an epoxy coating can be applied on mild steel XC or SZ finish. - Outside applications : Polyester - Inside applications : Epoxy Benefits : - Save maintenance time by coloured location of the networks. - Provides a high corrosion protection, especially in severe environments. This two-way zinc+ coloured coating protection is the only process where the added corrosion protection properties provides more than the double of corrosion protection given separately. Characteristics : The coating is applied by electrostatic gun-spray then stove hardened. The heat-hardening powders offer good resistance to abrasion and shock, excellent lifetime value and requires no maintenance. Colours : Specify the RAL reference.

316 L : STAINLESS STEEL X2CrMiMo 17-12-2

(EN 10088-2 / AISI 304L) Especially intended for the chemical and food environments, and surface treatment. Except by written agreement, all products supplied Tolmega for stainless steel equipment always mean: - Not trimmed- Not degreased- Not cleaned, decontaminated or passivated . We can perform complementary treatment of decontamination / passivation on request.

AG3 :ALUMINIUM ALLOY 5754

(EN 573- NF EN 485 / ASTM B275 - ASTM B209) As for the stainless steels,AG3 is protected from exterior corrosion by a passive layer of alumina, which is naturally formed in the air. Its resistance to corrosion is very good in neutral environments (4<pH<10) and also marine atmospheres. On the other hand, it is very sensitive to electrolytic corrosion.The complementary treatment of anodisation reinforces the thickness of the passive layer of aluminia.This treatment can be applied on request.(4<pH<10) and also marine atmospheres. On the other hand, it is very sensitive to electrolytic corrosion.The complementary treatment of anodisation reinforces the thickness of the passive layer of aluminia.This treatment can be applied on request.

B - Electrolytic corrosion
Electrolytic corrosion is defined as a process of accelerated corrosion resulting of an electric current between two metals coupled in an electrolytic environment . Below the red line, the metal is being attacked. The joined metal undergoes no galvanic corrosion but, on the contrary, enjoys an effect of galvanic protection. Electrolytic corrosion is very important when choosing the assembly bolts and certain accessories different from the cableway support. (See table) Tray finish Zinc on steel coating Other coatings (epoxy, polyester...) Stainless Steel (SS) Aluminium Bolting finish EZ, GEOMET EZ, SS,ALU SS Aluminium * * Sometimes EZ or SS bolting is used. If EZ bolting, bolts and nuts
will be corroded in some years. If SS bolting, cable trays will be corroded. Bolts and nuts can be removed in this case.This effect will be increased in outdoor applications.

Unit : mV Do not exceed ~ 300 mV.
