Lathed Pin Detent Pin Locating Pin Slot Galvanization

Lathed pin is the pin with lathe finished. The pin inserted into receiving holes, lathe pin holds together parts of an assembly with friction. They may also be used as location pins. These pins are common in the automotive and aerospace industries as well as in furniture making. We have the largest selection of custom lathed pin available anywhere.  A fastening pin, such as a dowel pin or clevis pin, provides strength when you secure your materials. A metal cotter pin can be bent during installation to act as a staple or spring pin. A hitch pin assembly ensures that your trailer is secure by dropping the pin in place and locking. A steel-grade, industrial safety pin locates, aligns, and safely secures components. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Galvanization, or galvanisation, (or galvanizing as it is most commonly called in that industry), is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which parts are submerged in a bath of molten zinc. Galvanizing protects in three ways:
It forms a coating of zinc which, when intact, prevents corrosive substances from reaching the underlying steel or iron.
The zinc serves as a sacrificial anode so that even if the coating is scratched, the exposed steel will still be protected by the remaining zinc.
The zinc protects its base metal by corroding before iron. For better results, the application of chromates over zinc is also seen as an industrial trend.
