Examines some factors dictating manufacturers’ choice of hardware materials and coatings for utility pole hardware. These factors are corrosion resistance, cost, adaptability and compatibility. Discusses use of aluminum, stainless steel and high strength, low alloy steels as materials for corrosion resistance. Also discusses corrosion resistant coatings: hot dip aluminum on steel, zinc filled coatings, spray metal coatings and fluidized bed process. Comparisons are made of cost of materials and coatings.
