The material of the three-way catalytic converter is aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), and the outer shell is made of stainless steel. The following are the reasons that cause the failure of the three-way catalytic converter: 1. Prolonged idling; 2. Delayed ignition timing; 3. Overly rich air-fuel mixture; 4. Engine oil burning; 5. Oxygen sensor failure; 6. Overheating due to incomplete cooling; 7. Switching off the vehicle while driving. Additional information: The working principle is that when high-temperature exhaust gases pass through the purification device, the catalyst in the three-way catalytic converter enhances the activity of CO, HC, and NOx gases, facilitating certain oxidation-reduction chemical reactions to convert them into harmless gases.

Under What Circumstances Are Tires Eligible for the Three Guarantees?

Tire three guarantees refer to warranty, replacement, and refund. Tires are eligible for the three guarantees in case of quality issues. The scope of tire quality three guarantees can be divided into tread, shoulder, and sidewall. The specific scope is as follows: Tread: 1. Crown void: During production, the tread is too long, not compacted, unevenly brushed with adhesive, poorly bonded with the carcass leading to separation, or flipped in the mold; 2. Crown wire exposure: The steel belt layer in the crown is exposed; 3. Joint separation: The transverse rubber in the crown separates with a certain slope; 4. Tread rubber delamination: The crown tread rubber peels off layer by layer, with rubber crumbs or chunks; 5. Groove cracking: The groove circumference cracks or partially cracks. Shoulder: 1. Shoulder void: The rubber at the shoulder separates from the rubber or the carcass, with no obvious bulge, and the separated surface is smooth and not torn; 2. Shoulder bubble: The rubber at the shoulder separates from the rubber or the carcass, forming a noticeable bulge; 3. Shoulder bulge: The shoulder or sidewall bulges radially; 4. Shoulder crack: The shoulder partially cracks. Sidewall: 1. Sidewall void: The rubber at the sidewall separates from the carcass, with a smooth separated surface; 2. Sidewall bubble: The rubber at the sidewall separates from the carcass, forming a bulge; 3. Sidewall crack: The rubber at the sidewall separates; 4. Rubber shortage: The sidewall lacks sufficient rubber material; 5. Sidewall burst: The shoulder of a radial steel tire bursts in a U-shape, with the steel cords intact and no external injury marks; 6. Bead crack: The rubber at the bead area cracks circumferentially; 7. Bead void: The steel cords in the bead area separate, the steel cord wrapping separates from the apex strip, and the steel cords are partially exposed; 8. Delamination: Large areas of rubber separate from the carcass or between carcass layers, forming bulges; 9. Concave pocket: The inner liner cords crack.

Is an Instantaneous Fuel Consumption of 30 Normal When Starting a Car?

An instantaneous fuel consumption of 30 when starting a car is considered normal. Below is relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator for the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed under the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated as the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model at specified speeds. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: Road condition fuel consumption is a fuel indicator calculated by repeatedly testing the values measured when a vehicle travels on specified roads at prescribed speeds and times, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. In the specifications, each cycle includes various driving conditions, and records driving conditions based on various indicators such as specified gear shift times, parking times, driving speeds, acceleration, braking, and deceleration in each cycle. The values measured by this method are closer to actual values.
