- Hot-dip galvanized structural fasteners for port and dock structures
- Corrosion-resistant turnbuckles and rigging hardware
Common Challenges for Marine & Shipbuilding Buyers in South Korea
Galvanic corrosion from mismatched metals
Combining incompatible fastener and fitting materials in a saltwater environment accelerates corrosion of the less noble metal.
Unverifiable stainless grade claims
A supplier advertising '316 stainless' without a mill certificate leaves buyers unable to verify it isn't a cheaper 304 substitute.
How We Help
Grade-verified 316 supply
Mill test certificates confirming actual alloy composition are available for every marine-grade stainless order.
Compatible material matching
We help avoid galvanic pairings across bolts, fittings, and rigging hardware in the same assembly.
Standards & Grades for Marine & Shipbuilding Fasteners in South Korea
The specifications marine & shipbuilding buyers most often quote. We manufacture to the standard, grade and finish on your drawing or purchase order.

DIN 1480 turnbuckles
Rigging turnbuckles for tensioning wire rope and stays.
ISO 1461 hot-dip galvanizing
For port, dock and jetty steelwork where stainless would be too costly.
Materials & Coatings
Stainless steel 316 / 316L
Molybdenum-bearing stainless that resists chloride pitting far better than 304.
