Strictly speaking, there are none, but some components have similar coatings, such as the molybdenum coating on piston rings and the molybdenum coating on transmission synchronizers. The following is a related introduction to tungsten steel: 1. Concept: Tungsten steel, also known as cemented carbide, refers to a sintered composite material composed of at least one metal carbide. Tungsten carbide, cobalt carbide, niobium carbide, titanium carbide, and tantalum carbide are common components of tungsten steel. 2. Performance characteristics: Tungsten steel (cemented carbide) has a series of excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. Particularly, its high hardness and wear resistance remain basically unchanged even at 500°C and still maintain high hardness at 1000°C.

What Causes Water Pump Dripping?

Water pump dripping is caused by: 1. Poor sealing; 2. Damaged sealing gasket; 3. Internal leakage in the heater. The working principle of an automotive water pump is: The engine drives the water pump bearing and impeller via the pulley, causing the coolant in the water pump to rotate along with the impeller. Under centrifugal force, the coolant is thrown toward the edge of the water pump housing, generating a certain pressure before flowing out through the outlet channel or hose. The center of the impeller experiences reduced pressure as the coolant is thrown outward, allowing coolant from the radiator to be drawn into the impeller through the hose due to the pressure difference between the pump inlet and the impeller center, thus achieving a reciprocating cycle of the coolant.

Do I need to wait for a red light to turn left?

Turning left requires waiting for a red light. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing and are not allowed to make a direct U-turn or left turn. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Article 38: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of released straight-going vehicles and pedestrians; when the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line can continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motor vehicle traffic lights and pedestrian crossing lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the indications of the motor vehicle traffic lights. 2. Article 20: To learn motor vehicle driving, one should first study road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After passing the exam, one can then learn motor vehicle driving skills. Learning to drive on the road should be conducted according to the routes and times designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ.

Test Evaluation: If you fail the second driving test on your first attempt, you can take a make-up test once. If you do not attend the make-up test or fail it again, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the test after ten days. Within the validity period of the driving skills test permit, the number of rescheduled tests for the second driving test and the third road driving skills test cannot exceed five times. If you fail the fifth rescheduled test, the results of other previously passed subjects will be invalidated. 2. Test Content: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission cars for disabled passengers, and low-speed trucks, the test includes reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and turning at a right angle.

Is Transmission Oil Leakage Serious?

Transmission oil leakage is serious and requires timely repair. The impacts of excessive transmission oil include: 1. Increased operational resistance inside the transmission, leading to abnormal oil leakage; 2. Agitation of the oil by rotating components can cause foaming; 3. Abnormal oil pressure may lead to air blockage in the drain holes of the control valve, resulting in poor drainage; 4. Gear shifting may become harsh. Precautions for changing transmission oil: 1. Choose the appropriate viscosity to avoid power loss; 2. Do not mix different types of oil to prevent adverse effects on the vehicle; 3. Avoid using low-quality transmission oil; 4. Ensure no impurities are introduced during the transmission oil change process.
