FAQ
Q: How are shoulders protected from corrosion?
A: Best practices:
Hot-dip galvanizing (120μm coating)
Rubberized underlayment for electrolytic isolation
Annual eddy current inspections
Cathodic protection in tunnels
Q: What's the expected service life?
A: Typical lifespan:
Dry climates: 25-30 years
Coastal areas: 12-15 years
Heavy haul: 8-10 years
Tunnels: 15-20 years with protection
Q: How does temperature affect shoulder performance?
A: Critical thresholds:
Steel shoulders: Lose 15% strength at <-40°C
Composites: Max continuous +80°C
All materials: Require 2mm expansion gaps in desert climates
