If you open an OBO Bettermann catalogue[1], you can find products in it (cable supporting products), which are - FS - Strip galvanised - FS - Strip galvanised bright - FT - Hot-dip galvanised - G - Electrogalvanised - GTP - Electrogalvanised transparently passivated
And mabye some more what I missed.
All I want to say, that there is no single procedure to galvanise a metal. So the final look will be different.
I would really like if you researched the different methods and wrote a summary post about them.
They're definitely not hot dip galvanized, that is done only from M10+, because it produces so thick layer. Hot dip galvanized items have very distinctive grey color. Electrogalvanizing(plating) is most common in nuts and bolts from M8 and smaller.
I tried to google strip galvanizing, but didn't find anything that got to do with any fasteners.
Galvanized?
ReplyDeletei have no idea the guy i bought them from did not know, my other choice was some plain black steel ones. the color reminds me of blue lock tite

Perhaps they have been anodized with a very thin coating. Normally I would expect to see a more solid, bright color from that process but who knows?
