In today's world of advanced vehicle repair, welding can play a central role. Yet, with many welding methods available, which one is right?It's no secret that vehicle makers and the industries that supply the materials that make up the fleet on the streets strive to build safer vehicles. This quest drives the automakers and their suppliers to continually research and develop newer, stronger metals (and other materials) and determine the required joining methods for each location in a vehicle structure.Steel and aluminum are the predominant metals used in body and frame construction of different vehicles. Each alloy or metallurgy comprises its own unique properties designed to perform in that vehicle's structure to provide "as built" integrity. As such, there are unique considerations for collision repair, particularly in avoiding any adverse effects on future crashworthiness and occupant protection attributes of each vehicle repaired. No stronger, no weaker. |
