Which Part is the Fender?
1 Answers
Automobile fenders, also known as wing panels, are located on the outer body of the wheels and can be described as a covering component. Below is relevant information about fenders: 1. Fenders not only reduce the aerodynamic drag coefficient during driving based on aerodynamics, greatly enhancing the vehicle's stability, but also prevent gravel and mud kicked up by the wheels from splashing onto the underside of the cabin, thereby protecting the car's chassis. 2. If a fender develops cracks, it is likely due to being too thin, making it unable to withstand the torsional deformation of the front beam head. In such cases, a "mesh weaving" method using steel bars can be employed to reinforce the fender through preparatory welding. This ensures the original deformation capacity while also improving the overall toughness of the fender. However, steel plates should never be used for preparatory welding, as this can easily affect the fender's torsional deformation capacity.
