The car Body constitutes one of the most expensive parts. It is exposed to heat, moisture. If the body is subject to corrosion, it is very bad, because all parts of the car except body can be replaced. It is therefore essential to preserve the body in the integrity and good condition. So many buyers want to know which cars have galvanized body. A list of such models will be quite large. After all, almost every manufacturer in the brochures indicates that the zinc takes place. But it is different.

How to choose a car with a galvanized body?

The Buyer, who decided to pick up a car needs not just to see the full list of cars with galvanized body. You need to understand what are the different ways of coating with zinc, because one car can boast of full zinc, the other – partial. The service life of these machines will be different. Some models generally covered with a primer with a low content of zinc and pass them off as galvanized.

List of cars with galvanized body are presented below. It includes the brand of cars, a body which is galvanized polnostu:

  1. Volkswagen.
  2. Porsche.
  3. Audi.
  4. Seat.
  5. Shkoda.
  6. Mercedes.
  7. Volvo.
  8. Opel.
  9. Ford.
  10. BMW.
  11. Chevrolet.

Pravda not all the cars of these brands have full zinc. As for the partial anti-corrosion treatment on some parts, it is observed in Honda, Toyota, Mazda. Here is a list of "VAZ" car with a galvanized body is empty because it only adds to the zinc in the primer. This method of galvanizing is not quite complete. However, this can significantly reduce the cost of developing the car. Hence the low price of cars "VAZ". This also applies to Chinese cars Chery, Geely and partially Korean brand Hyundai.

galvanized body of the car VAZ-list

Hot dip galvanized

The zinc Layer can extend the service life of the metal and to protect it from corrosion, but is very important galvanizing method. The first and the most efficient method is hot-dip galvanizing. The main essence of the technology: one-piece car body to be dipped in a special bath with a zinc bearing solution is then heated to a high temperature, under which the metal body is covered with zinc particles.

This technology available to the automotive concern Volkswagen, and hence all the brands that it owns. That is, Skoda, Seat, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche – list of cars galvanized body which is made by a thermal method of applying corrosion-resistant coatings and are the best.

what cars have galvanized body list

The Benefits of such body:

  1. Manufacturers give 30-year warranty on bodies that have been processed by means of thermal oxidation.
  2. This coating is the most durable and superior in this indicator, zinc coating, applied in any other way.
  3. Hot dipped Galvanized metal not only resists corrosion, but also mechanical damage.

The Only disadvantage of this method – the high cost implementation of the technology. Therefore, the vehicles with such bodies is very expensive.

Best technology

It is believed that the most resistant to corrosion are the Audi cars after 1986 release. In addition to Volkswagen, the technology is also used by Volvo, Opel (Astra and Vectra), Ford (Sierra, Escort), Chevrolet (Lacetti, Epica). As for the Volvo, these cars use a lot of aluminum, which itself is not subject to corrosion. But the manufacturer absolutely does not skimp on thermal application of zinc on steel parts. Write down this list of cars galvanized body which is treated for thermal technologies for applying anti-corrosion coatings.

Galvanizing

Plating bath used quite a long time, and a method of applying a corrosion resistant coating is very popular. The implementation of this technology is much cheaper, so many manufacturers use it for coating the body produced cars.

what cars with galvanized body list

The technology is the following: the vehicle is placed in a plating bath with the zinc content of the solution. Then to body and one to the bathroom connects the two conductors (plus and minus) and is energized. In result, the particles of the zinc contained in the solution, melt and stick to the metal thin layer.

Galvanized electroplated car

Some of the most successful galvanizing compounds developed at Mercedes and BMW. These manufacturers put on a surface of the body zinc layer thickness of 9-15 microns. Such a thick corrosion layer can even compete in terms of efficiency and lifetime with the layer deposited thermally. However, the list of cars with galvanized body galvanic method does not end with these two brands. Honda, Toyota, Lexus – these manufacturers also use this technology. But such cars as the Honda Pilot or CR-V are just some of the galvanized body parts. In particular, these machines are installed galvanized sills, bottoms, wings – those body parts which corrode the most. The best corrosion resistance among the Japanese manufacturers, boasts of Honda, not Toyota or Mazda.

Tsinkrometalla

Speaking about the galvanized body of the car model list you need to replenish the Korean car Kia. However, this manufacturer has found its own special way – it uses a special tsinkrometalla in the manufacture of their machines. This material has three layers:

  1. Bottom and the thick stand – steel.
  2. The Middle layer – special oxides with zinc content in the composition.
  3. Top layer – organic compound with a high content of zinc.

That is, in the factories of Kia is galvanized metal at the stage of hire. Then it is made the body. This metal is well exposed to welding, forming, it is easy to paint. However, its efficiency of protection from corrosion is low, especially in places where there are damages.

If hot-dip galvanized can be called the best, galvanic – the good, the tsinkrometalla – this is an acceptable type of galvanized that extends the life of the body. He has not the best anticorrosive properties.

Hard to give a list of cars galvanized body which would be carried out in a similar way. It is known that Kia is practicing this technology.

Cold galvanizing

This is the most primitive and cheap technology that is used in the manufacture of low-cost cars. In this case we are talking about coverage details cataphoresis primer with zinc content in the composition. To find out which cars galvanized body with cold way easily. Looking at the cost of the car, you can immediately understand how much the car protected from corrosion. Budget cars that are galvanized such methods include: domestic cars "VAZ", a Chinese Chery, Geely, some Korean models from Hyundai and Kia.

In conclusion

Now you know what a car with a galvanized body. A list of specific models can not lead, because not always it is known what manufacturers what method is used. For some vehicles can be used galvanic method of galvanizing, for others – the cold. But even in the latter case, the manufacturers insist that the car has a galvanized body. And although this is true, the quality of anticorrosion coating in the latter case is so bad that you may even believe that it simply is not.

Remember: cheap car may not be covered with thermal or zinc electroplated. And even if the instructions say that the car is galvanized, it could mean that only some body parts covered with corrosion-resistant coating (e.g., bottom and thresholds). It can also mean that the body or parts covered with zinc primer. A lot of options. Unfortunately, all of these options are used in low-end cars.
