Summary of the lecture
It is vitally important that appropriate stainless steel fixings and fasteners are always used in conjunction with primary stainless steel components in order to avoid future undesired outcomes which can include; 1. Galvanic corrosion 2. Pitting corrosion 3. Crevice corrosion.
In this context ‘appropriate stainless steel fixings’ means products that have an appropriate chemical analysis for the application and suitable mechanical properties to ensure long-term robustness of each installation.
At the end of this steeltalk, participants will be able to:
- Identify common challenges and failure mechanisms in fixings and fasteners.
- Explain the principles of galvanic and crevice corrosion and how to prevent them.
- Evaluate the impact of improper fixings selection on structural integrity and maintenance costs.
- Apply lifecycle costing principles to assess the long-term benefits of stainless steel fasteners.

Tim was born and grew up in the home of UK stainless steelmaking, Sheffield. Whilst at school he worked part-time for his father making steelworks thermocouples and laboratory furnaces. After leaving school he studied metallurgy at university and joined British Steel Stainless immediately after graduating. A succession of industry mergers saw Tim undertaking senior stainless technical, operations and supply chain roles in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK before joining the ISSF (now worldstainless) in August 2019. During his career Tim also found time to study Goldratt’s teaching on lean flow and operations, gain a postgraduate diploma in operations and inventory management and a masters degree in business administration. Away from work Tim still supports his boyhood football club, Sheffield Wednesday and enjoys rock music, cycling, fine wines and craft ales. |
