ALUMINUM PANEL REPAIR

Precautions upon sheet metal processing

1. Major difference in processing between sheet metal and

steel sheet (On the basis of general body shop)

2. If strong impact is given under low temperature, its strength

becomes low and cracking occurs.

3. The springback (returning force to the original condition) is

large due to high elastic modules.

4. The thermal effect is large due to high heat conductivity.
5. When excessively heated, its strength will be deteriorated.

When heated additionally, it will be melted without
discolouration. [The heating temperature is approximately
250

C (482

F)].

CAUTION

Weld and repair it if the side sill reinforcement front is
damaged.

6. Because the material is soft, choose an abrasive carefully.

Wear a dustproof mask and safety glasses, because ground
particle is light and tends to float in the air.

7. If a disk sander is strongly pressed against the aluminum

plate, friction heat is generated, resulting in exfoliation of the
aluminum alloy and clogging of the disk sander with the
exfoliated particles.

8. Because the clogged disk sander will damage the aluminum

alloy panel, replace it with a new one as soon as possible.
