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 It also keeps out debris.Plating, anodizing, & finishing Q&As since 1989 Nine grams of saved weight from the shorter hosel, is strategically distributed to drastically lower and centre the CG location, which promotes higher peak trajectory, higher launch angle and a steeper descent angle for quick-stopping landings.Inverted Cone, face thickness, CG Location, loft and shaft length to assist in further golf ball strikes.įeel is promoted by specially formulated polyurethane developed by 3M that works to fill the RBZ Speed Pocket, while simultaneously quieting vibration without significantly slowing or inhibiting the flex of the pocket. It also has an improved Inverted Cone shape and high MOI. Speed Pocket in the 3- through 7-irons works with an advanced, ultra-thin face design to promote consistently high golf ball speed and distance. Speed Pocket Technology changes the way irons perform, dramatically in terms of distance, trajectory and control, while promoting additional golf ball speed on miss-hits low on the face with unprecedented prowess. Lower & Centre CG Location (for higher launch angle and trajectory) Ultra-Thin Face (to promote consistently high ball speed and distance)
