Dacromet bolts green concrete: Important clarification needed

Summary for dacromet bolts green concrete Discussion

Dacromet high strength bolts in contact with green concrete is the question, but the thread does not reach a technical answer. Saiprasad Kudale asks whether Dacromet bolts can be used where a steel member touches green concrete, whether any reaction will occur, and what service life to expect. The only reply, from Kalyan Dhakane, does not address compatibility or durability; instead, he asks for clarification, saying, “What is green concrete? Do you mean Green Steel? Please elaborate.” Because the term is ambiguous and no further explanation or follow-up answer appears in the excerpt, the discussion ends without a conclusion on reaction, suitability, or bolt life. The practical takeaway is that the question needs clarification before any reliable advice can be given.

Q. Dear sir, I’m Saiprasad. I want to know whether Dacromet bolts can be used in a steel member where the steel member is in contact with green concrete. Is there any reaction will take place between green concrete and Dacromet bolts? And if we can use Dacromet bolts, what’s the life of the bolt used?

Thank You

Hello,

ZInc aluminum flake coating with organic sealer top coat may help to protect the bolts for longer period.
You can try it.
