Dacromet high strength bolts in contact with green concrete

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

Dear Mr Kudale,

What is green concrete? Do you mean Green Steel? Please elaborate.

Hello,

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