I generally don't like to point fingers unless I'm 100% certain so I'll just stand behind my first statement. I do happen to use the stuff on everything else as a general purpose cleaner and rust preventative though and in my life I've probably gone through 45 gallons of the crap. We don't use it because the blueing found on firearms is an actual form of rust (black oxide). The oil and the detergent are there for basically one purpose and one purpose only. WD-40 is a very light grade of machine oil with a detergent built into it. Well in the firearms industry WD-40 is taboo.

They can probably suggest a local contact who can give a professional opinion to back up your claim They are anxious to protect the reputation of our industry. I suggest you contact the Institute of metal finishing. It does not contain silicones but it would be irrelevant to their argument if it did. WD-40 was developed as a maintenance product for the Polaris missile project - not much rust on those! In Pier One's defense, it wasn't sold for outdoor bars, but it rusted noticeably in one, count 'em, ONE day. Here is a nickel-chrome plated bar rack only 24 hours after being removed from its packaging, but outside on a damp day. If there are pinholes or porosity, the nickel forces the underlying steel into becoming a sacrificial anode, and it causes galvanic corrosion of the steel - making it rust much faster than it would have done if it had no plating at all :-( I'm confident that Jeffrey's answer was the correct one :-)ĭone really well, chrome plating can be remarkably corrosion resistant per Rod Henrickson's testimonial and per common knowledge of truck bumpers and auto grills lasting a decade and more (sometimes much more), in the worst imaginable conditions.īut if not done well, chrome plating isn't merely a poor corrosion fighter, it's an exceptionally powerful corrosion causer! That's because decorative chrome plating always involves a nickel plating layer, and nickel is "noble" with respect to steel. when she was good, she was very, very good, should a golf shaft rust so quickly, should the chrome wear away rubbing against the velvet collar of the golf bag and what can I do in future to keep them in good condition? John Nicholson The chrome on my 18 month old putter is fine. The chrome on a couple of the shafts has also worn away where they come into contact with the velvet collar of the golf bag. I was advised to make sure I cleaned any moisture off after playing (which I have always done anyway) and told to put a coating of light oil (WD40) on them every few weeks.Ī couple of months on (after one of the driest spells for years) and the new shafts have started to rust. After 6 months the shafts started to rust and I returned them and the manufacturer, rather reluctantly, agreed to replace the shafts. About 9 months ago I bought a new set of golf clubs. Chrome golf club shafts rust in 6 months Tungsten toe and shaft tip weights combine with a tiered, dynamic face structure to expand the perimeter weighting while preserving ball speed through greater face deflection for added distance and improved accuracy.Plating, anodizing, & finishing Q&As since 1989 The hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish repels water to for consistency from all conditions.Ī precision-milled groove pattern allows for tighter spacing and a geometry that results in an average of four extra grooves to reduce fliers in the short irons and preserve spin in the long irons for greater control and consistency. Targeted placement and disbursement of an EVA polymer in precisely controlled amounts in every iron achieves a pleasing impact sound and feel while allowing for maximum face deflection. The strength of the variable-thickness, maraging steel allows for a thinner, more dynamic face structure with an internal sole undercut in the 17-4 stainless steel body to increase flexing to launch shots faster and higher with predictability.
All packaged in a compact, players-style design perimeter weighted to elevate forgiveness and deliver long, towering shots. A new ballistic face design that increases speed, distance and control combines with a targeted polymer to provide better feel and sound.
