Huck® vs. Welding
1 min read
While welding has long been utilised in applications requiring a secure joint, today, there are several strong reasons to consider a proven alternative. That alternative is direct-tension, swaged on Huck LockBolts from Alcoa Fastening Systems.
Fastening with vibration-resistant Huck LockBolts instead of welding offers five key benefits:
Simplicity – Huck LockBolts are easy to install (watch installation videos).
Cost-Savings – Huck LockBolts don't require costly skilled specialists to install. All they need is a quick visual inspection to ensure a strong joint (read customer reviews on Huck vs. Welding).
Speed – Huck LockBolts offer extremely quick installation (watch the BobTail® installation video).
Safety – welding can be dangerous due to the chance of fires from a random spark. Spent rods and other remnants can cause safety hazards on the assembly floor, and interfere with worksite organisation and cleanliness. Huck LockBolts eradicate such issues.
Structural Integrity – Huck LockBolts offer Huck's increasingly well-known high level of vibration-resistance, providing a strong joint that will perform for years to come.
