Stone chip protection for axle beams
Axle beams are among the components in vehicle manufacturing that are subjected to particularly high stress. They are constantly exposed to stone chips, moisture, and environmental factors.
- Application
- Axle carrier
- Load
- Stone chip, weather conditions and low temperatures
- System
- water-based stone-chip protection system
- Curing
- dries quickly at room temperature
Technical challenge
Mechanical stress causes damage to existing coatings and increases the surface's susceptibility to corrosion.
Sheet metal structure of a rear axle carrier
Solution Concept
