Dish washer hinges require steels that can guarantee high fatigue resistance as well as extreme corrosion resistance.
High Strength Low Alloy steels (HSLA) offer the perfect combination of excellent mechanical strength associated with narrow variability, very good weldability which garantees outstanding functional properties.
Thanks to its 3% magnesium content, Magnelis® offers self-healing on cut edges and superior corrosion resistance in chloride and ammonia atmospheres. The zinc-rich metallic coating composition permits all the conventional processing operations possible with standard hot dip galvanised steel: bending, drawing, clinching, profiling, stamping, welding etc. The friction coefficient of Magnelis® coated steel is lower than the one of standard hot dip galvanised steel and stable during forming operations.
The combination of HSLA and Magnelis® allows to drastically simplify and reduce the cost of production of hinges that are generally made from hot rolled material that must be postgalvanised at subcontractor at a very high expense.
