Eye plates are fastening elements within maritime articles that can be fastened directly by screwing. Also eye plates are used on deck of boats and yachts and fulfill the most different functions. For this reason, eye plates must also be made of stainless steel so that they can withstand weather conditions.
Eye plates are small but very important helpers. Ropes or belts from tarpaulins can be neatly and firmly lashed to stainless steel eye plates. Stainless steel eye plates are mainly used on boats and yachts where they are directly bolted. But not only in the boat accessories these articles manufactured from a casting are to be found, but meanwhile in many other industries, like also in the mechanical engineering or at walls of houses, if ropes are pulled through or other fastening elements are used. However, these were only a few examples for the use of eye plates. We are sure that you know exactly what the eye plates can still be used for! Let us inspire you.

The assembly of eye plates made of stainless steel
When mounting eye plates made of V4A stainless stee , it is important to determine the position correctly and finally on deck, because once the screws are screwed in, it is difficult to move them. For this reason it is important to determine the correct position. Then you can use a pricker, which looks similar to a screwdriver - only with a tip, to prick the holes for the screws in the holes. This makes it easier to screw the screws into the wooden deck of the boat later on. Now screw the four countersunk screws firmly into all four holes of the eye plate using a screwdriver. Once this has been done, the eye plate is now loadable and firmly connected to the deck.
The production of eye plates
The eye plates are manufactured in the investment casting process WAX-Lost process. This means that a negative mould is produced. This serves as a template for the later eye plates. Once the negative model is finished, it is put into a mud bath, which is then dried in the kiln. The heat causes the wax to run out of the mould and all that remains is the fired mud mould, which is dry and solid. Now the pouring out of the sludge form begins by means of the liquid high-grade steel. After hardening, the slurry mould can be crushed so that only the raw cast part of the finished eye plate remains. This is thoroughly cleaned and polished to a high gloss.
