The mechanical industry is rapidly moving towards wide scale use of 300 series stainless steel fasteners. Now the architects and building owners demand broader range guarantees and longer warranties from contractors. The industry's application of higher grade stainless fasteners is on the rise. The best part of 300 series stainless steel fasteners is that it provides a supreme layer which protects it from getting corroded and they also maintain their structural integrity in aggressive environments, resisting the intensive corrosion scenarios inherent in residential, non residential, and non building construction that cause other types of fasteners to fail prematurely. The manufacturers of the fasteners industry have a crucial role to play in helping the construction manufacturers to win in this environment. To support suppliers sales efforts, construction manufacturer educate the design association about the variety of stainless fastening systems available to meet performance requirements across a range of applications. The qualification and design of concrete anchors under these new criteria and requirements differ substantially from past practice. The challenging designers and construction suppliers develop new products to meet the more stringent standards. Studies have revealed that cracking typically occurs in the tension zone of the concrete element, and these cracks can significantly impact the performance of anchors. The challenge for suppliers is finding fasteners compatibility with the application of these new materials. At times the installation instructions specify a fastener that is either too generic or too specific. Thus, the challenge begins to provide its customer with the proper fastener so they can ensure the product will perform as it was designed to do. For the fasteners suppliers, this means that the design associations is fundamentally changing the way of its value and this gives the opportunity to capitalize on an industry-wide trend that has plenty of momentum.
