3. Manufacturing Process:
This cleat is manufactured using the advanced Silica Sol Investment Casting Process. Starting from precise wax patterns, through multi-layer shell building and dewaxing, to the pouring of molten 316 stainless steel, this process guarantees structural integrity and high dimensional accuracy.
Post-casting, the hardware undergoes precision CNC machining for the mounting holes and mechanism, followed by meticulous multi-stage hand polishing to achieve its signature mirror shine.
Strict quality control ensures the folding mechanism operates with perfect resistance and smoothness.
4. Maintenance Guide:
- Routine Cleaning: Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to saltwater to remove salt deposits and preserve the shine.
- Surface Care: Avoid abrasive pads or chlorine-based cleaners. Use a non-abrasive stainless steel polish periodically to maintain the mirror finish.
- Lubrication: Apply a drop of marine-grade lubricant to the folding hinge pins every few months to ensure the pop-up action remains smooth.
