Connecting galvanized corner has a number of high performance characteristics, due to which it is used quite often. The main scope of such a product is structures in which it is required to provide increased rigidity.
Description
The corner is a stainless steel profile, the surface of which is protected from a wide variety of external influences. For the manufacture of this product, roll forming machines are used. The main raw material for production is either carbon structural steel or low alloy steel.
In their manufacture, one of the latest technologies is used, which is called thermal diffusion. The application of galvanizing by this method allows you to create a protective film on the metal surface with a thickness of 100-120 microns. This layer is highly resistant to corrosion. The length of the connecting corners can be very different, from 3 to 12 meters, depending on what exactly they will be used for in the future.
Varieties
The building materials market offers a choice of several varieties of this material. Corners may differ in purpose, configuration and even the shape of the holes. If we disassemble the products into several types according to their structural differences, then in this case we can distinguish the following three types of connecting corner:
- solid steel corners;
- perforated type;
- with reinforced or sliding design.
It is worth mentioning the reinforced steel corners in addition. Their difference is that they have an additional stiffener, which is absent in any other type. Due to this, the rigidity of this design is higher. Connecting corners that are galvanized can be divided into two more categories:
- equal-shelf;
- unequal.
Product benefits
The great popularity of this product is due to the fact that it has many different positive aspects. The main serious differences are good protection against aggressive external environments, as well as against corrosion, especially if the metal has an additional galvanized coating. In addition, its presence has a positive effect on the service life, increasing it to several decades. The connection brackets can be installed even during wet or rainy weather. This is possible due to the fact that they will not lose their qualities due to the influence of such weather conditions. In terms of the main positivequalities, it is worth highlighting a few more:
- universality of the material, allowing it to be used in many areas of human activity;
- high corrosion resistance;
- even under the influence of heavy loads, a metal corner 50x50 or more is able to maintain its original shape for a long time;
- thermal expansion is at a fairly low level, as is the thermal conductivity of the material;
- ease of use and long service life are also great qualities.
Some features of the corners
Features such as perforated connecting corners, which are most commonly found in furniture assembly, have become very popular. There are mounting holes on both sides of the product. Depending on the purpose of the corner, their diameter can vary significantly. The distance between each subsequent hole is only 25 mm, and the thickness of the corner is from 1 to 3 cm.
However, here it is worth clarifying that such dimensions for connecting corners are relative. When ordering them from the manufacturer's company, you can usually get products of such dimensions as are required for the intended construction or assembly work.
