Surface Treatment of Automotive Precision Parts: Key Pathways to Enhance Corrosion Resistance

In the context of high-quality development in the automotive industry, the reliability of automotive parts directly determines the safety level and service life of vehicles. As the foundational carriers of many core components, precision castings require particularly critical corrosion resistance treatment. Through scientifically applied surface treatments, precision castings can effectively extend the service life of automotive parts and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Various surface treatment methods are commonly employed for precision castings. Electroplating, for instance, deposits a dense metallic coating on the casting surface by precisely controlling current density and temperature. This effectively isolates corrosive agents from the substrate and is widely used in critical automotive parts such as transmissions and braking systems. Chemical conversion coating treatments, like phosphating, generate insoluble phosphate films that not only enhance corrosion resistance but also improve the adhesion of subsequent coatings, making them a crucial pretreatment step before painting.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of surface treatment is closely related to the quality of the casting substrate. Strict control of the precision casting forming process in the early stages is essential to minimize defects such as cracks and pores, thereby laying a solid foundation for subsequent surface treatments. Only by rationally selecting surface treatment methods and tailoring solutions based on factors such as casting material and usage environment can the protective function be fully realized, ensuring the stable operation of automotive parts.

With over 20 years of professional casting experience, Qingdao Tianheyuan employs silica sol investment casting technology and currently produces over 1,300 tons of castings annually. Most of our products are directly exported to regions such as Europe, North America, Japan, and South Korea. For more information about automotive parts, please feel free to contact us.
