Can Deformed Aluminum Alloy Wheels Be Repaired?
1 Answers
Whether deformed aluminum alloy wheels can be repaired depends on the situation as follows: 1. Slight deformation: Aluminum alloy wheels with slight deformation can be repaired, but it is recommended to replace them instead. Since aluminum alloy is a metallic material, the wheel becomes relatively fragile internally after being forcibly restored to its original shape. If it is impacted again, it is prone to fracture, significantly increasing safety hazards. 2. Surface wear: If it is surface wear, it can be repaired. Additional information: Wheel maintenance methods: 1. Do not wash with cold water when hot: When the wheel is at a high temperature, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning. Never use cold water to wash it. Otherwise, the aluminum alloy wheel may be damaged, or even the brake disc may deform, affecting braking performance. Using detergent to clean aluminum alloy wheels at high temperatures can cause chemical reactions on the wheel surface, resulting in loss of luster and affecting appearance. 2. Use a brush to remove tar: When stubborn tar is stuck on the wheel, if general detergents are ineffective, try using a brush to remove it. 3. Clean frequently in humid environments: If the vehicle is in a humid area, the wheels should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface.
