CORROSION PROTECTION

CORROSION PROTECTION

Corrosion Protection

INFOID:0000000009478782

DESCRIPTION

To provide improved corrosion prevention, the following anti-corrosive measures have been implemented in

NISSAN production plants. When repairing or replacing body panels, it is necessary to use the same anti-cor-

rosive measures.

Anti-corrosive Pre-coated Steel (Galvannealed Steel)

To improve repairability and corrosion resistance, a new type of anti-

corrosive pre-coated steel sheet has been adopted replacing con-

ventional zinc-coated steel sheet.

Galvannealed steel is electroplated and heated to form Zinc-iron

alloy, which provides excellent and long term corrosion resistance

with cationic electrode position primer.

NISSAN Genuine Service Parts are fabricated from galvannealed

steel. Therefore, it is recommended that GENUINE NISSAN PARTS

or equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain the anti-cor-

rosive performance built into the vehicle at the factory.

Phosphate Coating Treatment and Cationic Electrodeposition Primer

A phosphate coating treatment and a cationic electrode position

primer, which provide excellent corrosion protection, are employed

on all body components.

NISSAN Genuine Service Parts are also treated in the same man-

ner. Therefore, it is recommended that GENUINE NISSAN PARTS

or equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain anti-corro-

sive performance built into the vehicle at the factory.

CAUTION:

Confine paint removal during welding operations to an absolute

minimum.

ANTI-CORROSIVE WAX

To improve corrosion resistance, anti-corrosive wax is applied inside the body sill and inside other closed sec-

tions. Accordingly, when replacing these parts, be sure to apply anti-corrosive wax to the appropriate areas of

the new parts. Select an excellent anti-corrosive wax which will penetrate after application and has a long shelf

life.

UNDERCOATING

The underside of the floor and wheelhouse are undercoated to prevent rust, vibration, noise and stone chip-

ping. Therefore, when such a panel is replaced or repaired, apply undercoating to that part. Use an undercoat-

ing which is rust preventive, soundproof, vibration-proof, shock-resistant, adhesive, and durable.

Precautions in Undercoating

1. Do not apply undercoating to any place unless specified (such as the areas above the muffler and three

way catalyst which are subjected to heat).

2. Do not undercoat the exhaust pipe or other parts which become hot.
3. Do not undercoat rotating parts.
