      KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan , Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Early construction fasteners were mainly carbon steel with high hardness; drilling, tapping, fixing and locking could be completed at one time, which greatly saved construction time, but due to time exposure, were prone to rust and endangered building safety. At present, carbon-steel stainless steel bimetal welded composite fasteners are mainly used to address such issues. However, in addition to the complicated processing procedures, such composite fasteners are also prone to fracture at the weld, and prone to corrosion of the carbon steel section. In order to solve the issues mentioned above, MIRDC developed "Corrosion-Resistant, Surface Hardening System Equipment for Austenite Stainless Steel (CRSH)," with the support of the Department of Industrial Technology, MOEA. The technology has been applied to the construction fasteners material, Austenitic (300-series) stainless steels, which are high corrosion resistant and widely used. The treated stainless-steel fasteners have high hardness and good corrosion resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
