The specific rust-proof duration depends on factors such as the type of paint, usage environment, and matching paint systems. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Ordinary anti-corrosion paints, such as red lead rust paint, iron red rust paint, and alkyd paint, generally last 3-5 years. 2. Heavy-duty anti-corrosion paints, like epoxy zinc-rich primer, epoxy mica iron intermediate paint, and fluorocarbon paint, can theoretically last up to 20 years. 3. If topcoats such as chlorinated rubber or acrylic polyurethane paint are used, the duration can reach about 10 years. Below is relevant information: The main components of rust paint are rust-proof pigments and film-forming substances. It is a coating that protects metal surfaces from corrosion caused by air, water, or electrochemical reactions. Rust paint is divided into two major categories: physical and chemical rust paints.

Is it necessary to install ETC?

It is necessary to install ETC. According to the regulations of the State Council, vehicles without ETC in 2020 will not enjoy toll discounts. In the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, and tolls can only be paid through manual lanes. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they need to be activated before normal use. During free holiday periods, ETC users can still use highways, and no fees will be deducted when passing through ETC lanes. ETC Billing Principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, the system achieves the goal of vehicles paying tolls without stopping at toll stations. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions, minimizing pollution by allowing vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, thus reducing wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more advanced, faster, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, intercity transportation smart cards will be basically realized in key city clusters, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." It also set a target in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development plan: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and increasing the ETC adoption rate for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks in the future. There will also be exploration of deep integration between ETC systems and smart transportation directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC usage.

Is the Car Steering Tie Rod the Toe-in?

Car steering tie rod is the toe-in, which is an important component in the car steering mechanism, directly affecting the stability of car handling, the safety of operation, and the service life of tires. The steering tie rod is divided into the drag link and the tie rod. The steering drag link is responsible for transmitting the movement of the steering arm to the steering knuckle arm; the steering tie rod is the base of the steering trapezoidal mechanism and is a key component to ensure the correct movement relationship between the left and right steering wheels. The end of the steering tie rod is connected to the steering knuckle through a ball joint. Since it requires a lot of force to turn the wheels directly, most cars use hydraulic steering to reduce the driver's effort and make the steering more flexible and easier to operate.
