What kind of wood is used for the interior trim in Audi cars?
1 Answers
Audi car interior trim is made of walnut wood. Wooden interior materials: Generally, wooden materials used in car interiors refer to walnut and rosewood, with walnut being more commonly used. The advantages of these woods are their beautiful grain, toughness, and resistance to deformation. Therefore, some mid-to-high-end cars use walnut wood as interior trim material, paired with genuine leather seat covers, velvet interior fabrics, etc., complementing each other to create an elegant and luxurious atmosphere. Imitation wood materials: Imitation wood materials first appeared as early as the 1970s. These are plastic products made from materials such as ABS, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and PC (polystyrene). Modern film technology can make imitations so lifelike that they are indistinguishable from the real thing, with grain and gloss extremely similar to genuine wood materials. Even experts can only tell the difference by the paint, as only genuine wood products require multiple layers of paint to protect against moisture and UV radiation. Of course, mass-produced plastic imitation wood interior parts have identical grain patterns, whereas natural wood interior parts have unique grain patterns. Nowadays, some plastic products require special clear coats or other coating materials to resist aging, narrowing the quality gap between imitation wood interior parts and genuine wood interior parts. There is also another manufacturing method where an extremely thin layer of wood veneer is applied to a plastic base, making it look exactly like a genuine wood trim piece, thus allowing it to be marketed as walnut wood or other decorative elements.
