    Interior

    Components in the interior of vehicles are not exposed to corrosive stresses to such an extent. It is important in this area to ensure the functionality of parts that are in use on a daily basis.

    Exemplary Components

    Belt BuckleClips

    The belt buckle serves to receive and secure the safety belt system. As a safety-relevant component, they need to display good sliding properties to ensure no malfunctions when in use.

    Clips are used in numerous areas to secure cable routing. They are frequently produced from high-tensile spring steel and are subject to a wide range of requirements such as sliding properties, to enable easy movement of cables. In contrast, other surfaces with a high static friction have a high pull-out strength that keeps the components together.

     

    Requirements

    • Corrosion protection (96 h as per DIN EN ISO 9227)
    • Color (black)
    • Sliding properties (0.06 – 0.3 µtot)
    • Coefficients of friction
    • Compatibility with microencapsulation

    Solutions

    DÖRKEN offers a series of proven and capable micro-layer corrosion protection systems for the coating of components in the interiors of truck cabs. Where there are low requirements of corrosion protection a topcoat coating with specific functional characteristics such as glide or friction properties is often suitable. In other cases, special systems consisting of a zinc flake base coat and a topcoat can be applied, depending on the parts concerned. The very thin coats cross-link at comparatively low temperatures without generating hydrogen in the process. This means that there is no risk of application-related, hydrogen-induced stress corrosion cracking. A further key advantage of the zinc flake systems is dry lubrication. The dry lubricating film generated by the application displays excellent friction and wear characteristics and ensures good grip in the interior.

    Chassis

    The truck chassis plays a key role: it consists of numerous components that form a complex whole that is responsible for aspects such as driving dynamism and safety. Technically sophisticated and safety-relevant systems are therefore essential.

    Engine Compartment

    A wide range of parts are used in the engine compartments of trucks. This often results in the combination of different, sometimes high-tensile materials, such as aluminum, stainless steel, plastics and steel. The components fitted therefore need to withstand particularly high temperatures and satisfy a range of corrosion protection requirements

    Trailer

    Whether it is flatbed vehicles, box trucks or tipper trucks: a wide range of components are used in and on truck trailers. With the long-term use on roads and highways, the components are subjected to a range of different stresses, such as stone impact, dirt, frost and continuous cleaning cycles. The long-term ensuring of component functionality and operational readiness of the trailer is therefore essential.
