Securing the Vehicle

When fixing the aluminum body to the body straightening equipment, set an aluminum alloy retaining plate [thickness: approximately 5 mm (0.20 in)] in the clamp to prevent sill flange damage.

Frame Straightening
  • Buckling portions have been work hardened. When straightening frames, straighten by pulling out while heating with oxy-acetylene gas welder. Unlike steel plates, aluminum alloy does not change color even when heated. Use a noncontact type thermometer or thermometry pen to control the temperature. Be careful not to overheat.

    <Reference> Melting point of aluminum alloy: approximately 640°C (1,184°F)

    Possible heating temperature
    Extrusion molding material (6000 series) : 110°C (230°F)
    Press molding material (5000 series) : 350°C (662°F)
  • During pulling work, pulling fully with large force causes weld to peel (spot weld peeling or cracks are generated in fillet weld). Pull out gradually.

  • Aluminum alloy has high thermal conductivity. When heating, remove interior equipment and other related parts extensively.
