M12 Studding Connectors Zinc Plated

• Studding thread connectors are a conncting element between two threaded parts.
• These can be used to join any two pieces of threaded bar of the same size with a metric thread.
• Zinc plated for protection against corrosion.

Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrates surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers.
