Damage Diagnosis On Aluminum Components
The information in
> 5X00IN62 Procedure for determining scope of damage
applies for damage diagnosis on aluminum sheet and extruded aluminum components.
Damage diagnosis for damaged areas on cast aluminum components requires greater attention.
Components must always be replaced if chipped paint work, cracks or other signs of deformation are found.
The dimensions must also be within the permitted dimensional deviations in order to ensure that there is no invisible damage.
If dimensional deviations greater than > Nominal value 0 mm +/- 2 mm are found on cast parts during damage diagnosis, these parts must be replaced.
Information
- Due to the narrow tolerances, damage diagnosis and repairs must be carried out using an electronic measuring system (e.g.
> VAS 6526/11
- Measuring Unit.
Professional or > VAS 811 019 - Measuring system Refer to: TOOLS ).
The relevant measuring points are shown in the following illustrations - → - .
