Listview for the terms

C (carbon)
Increases hardness, tensile strength, brittleness, from 0.2% (or 0.3%, depending on the literature source) steel is hardenable, from 0.45% a knife blade remains sharp, reduces corrosion resistance and weldability.
Cantilever anchor
A cantilever anchor is a fastening system that has a special stiffness due to the shape of the profile, and can therefore take up larger loads on bending at the end of the profile.
Certification of restamping
Within the scope of the products (blanks) in the building inspection area, MODERSOHN has the right to re-stamp factory certificates 2.2, 3.1 and 3.2 according to DIN EN 10204:2005-01.
Clamping connections
MODERSOHN supplies a variety of tension constructions with threaded parts at the ends, e.g. to extend the tension rod and apply forces by means of a clamping sleeve.
Clinker support
The term clinker supportment refers to the fixing of highly fired bricks with supporting and retaining anchors in the double-shell wall construction of the facade.
Collecting trays
Collecting trays are used in industry and construction for the safe collection of liquids and bulk materials, e.g. to prevent hazardous substances from seeping away or to collect useful substances.
Composite mortar systems
The composite mortar systems as a collective term correspond to the composite anchor systems and stand for many variants of adhesive or mortar anchors, which are characterised by stress-free anchoring in concrete or masonry in the drill hole.
Compound anchor
The compound anchor is a collective term for many variants of adhesive or mortar anchors, which are characterised by stress-free anchoring in concrete or masonry in the drill hole.
Concrete facade anchors
The term concrete facade anchors refers to the fixing of curtain-type precast concrete elements.
Copper blanks
MODERSOHN supplies water jet blanks made of copper sheets for various applications in plant construction, mechanical engineering and the building industry.
Corrosion Protected
This term indicates that components are protected from the environmental conditions acting on them by means of coatings (organic layers, e.g. lacquer, powder coating) and / or overlays (inorganic layers, e.g. galvanising, chromating, enamelling).
Corrosion protection
Modification of a corrosion system in such a way that corrosion damage is avoided.
Corrosion resistance
This term is often used to classify corrosion resistant materials. It is not a material parameter.
Corrosion Resistant
Ability of a metal to perform its functions in a given corrosion system without being affected by corrosion.
Corrosion-proof
Inaccurate term often used in regulations, technical literature, product descriptions and construction tenders to describe an expectation regarding corrosion behaviour.
Cr (chrome)
Most important component of stainless steels, increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
Cu (copper)
Increases toughness and is therefore very important for cold formability.
