When considering self-closing weld on hinges, material matters. Large, heavy gates require heavy-duty hinges that are strong enough to handle the swing of a substantial load. On the other hand, corrosion can be a significant consideration for outdoor gates around swimming pools or in beach locations. Either way, there are things to think about when choosing the optimal self-closing component for your weld on hinges needs.
A discussion about material and strength in an outdoor weld on hinges naturally leads to concerns about corrosion. Corrosion of any metal can significantly impact its functional strength causing structural damage like cracks, partial fracture, and total material failure in extreme cases. Not only does corrosion lessen material strength, but it also looks quite bad. Stainless steel contains chromium which has corrosion resistance properties.
