- The
determination of “Repair” or “Replace” is now more critical then ever with
the introduction of Ultra High Strength Steel (U.H.S.S.) into the auto
body repair industry.
- Our system is
an affordable, easy, clamping system that works in unison with your
existing repair methods and machines.
- “Cost of
Repair” is everyone’s concern. Repairs need to be quick and simple, and keeping
“TOTALS” to a minimal is paramount.
- During a
collision, indirect damage or “Carry-Over” to adjacent parts occurs. This
will be amplified now that U.H.S.S. parts are incorporated into body
structures.
- Parts
suffering “Carry-Over Damage” that have only been curved or bowed, can be
straightened without changing the molecular properties on the repaired
part.
- If kinks or
cracks are found in any U.H.S. part, then a change at the molecular level
has occurred and rendered the parts unrepairable and the parts must be
replaced.
- Heat is
normally not recommended in the repair of any U.H.S.S. part.
- If pulls are
made against body mounts, even light pulls, and the cab is not anchored,
due to the strength of U.H.S. structures, the body mounts can yield and
secondary damage in floor pans can occur.
Hints: Determine what materials you are working with such as U.H.S.S.,
DP980, Martensitic, and Born H.S. Steel) and follow O.E.M. recommendations.
