M1
When aluminum and steel contact each other, this may occur
What is Galvanic Corrosion
has a melting point of approximately 660°C (1,220°F)
Aluminum
It occurs when a part is damaged.
Work Hardening
This cannot be applied in the repair facility.
Coatings On Bolts
These rivets will commonly be flush mounted
SPR Self piercing rivets
This processes can be used to change the characteristics of aluminum.
Alloying Elements, Heat Treating, Cold Forming
These are generally attached to other parts with GMA (MIG) fillet welds. Castings can also be attached to other parts using bolts or rivet bonding
Castings
Similar to new steels, this may not apply to aluminum.
Kink Versus Bend
This shielding gas is heavier than air.
Argon
These are used in locations where the vehicle maker originally used welds.
Blind rivets
When damaged, aluminum parts made from this type of forming process requires replacement.
Castings
dissimilar metals coming in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte.
Galvanic corrosion
It does not remember where it was.
Aluminum Has Limited Memory
These may mount flush.
Rivets
These are commonly used on wheelhouse flanges and door skins.
Hemmed flanges
These may have multiple cells.
Extrusions
These type are almost always used as attachment points for structural parts.
Castings
This is a way of warming up the issue.
Applying Heat To Straighten Aluminum
These lock panels together, but they are not used on structural parts (Physical)
Clinch
The rivet head, body, mandrel, and stem are parts of these
Blind rivets
Aluminum parts made from this type of forming process are often repairable.
Stampings
These parts are complex designs and shapes with seams that are not visible. An extrusion may have a variable thickness cross section.
Extrusions
Aluminum does not do this before melting.
Change Color
Despite rumors, a rope is not used on these.
Rope Hem Flang
This is the sum of panel thickness of the new and exististing panel. It is necessary to determine the replacement Rivet/method
