The selection of automotive stamping parts should focus on "usability, ease of use, and durability", with the core revolving around three directions: adaptability, quality, and reliability. Screening can be done according to five key steps:
1. First, activate the "adaptation switch": ensure that it can be installed and used effectively
It is necessary to specify the vehicle model, year, and specific installation location. Stamping parts with different configurations of the same vehicle series may not be interchangeable. Provide VIN code or original accessory number for verification.
Confirm the hole position, size, and interface specifications of the accessories, and prioritize selecting those that are consistent with the original factory parameters to avoid installation difficulties or affect the stability of the entire vehicle due to size deviations.
2. Looking at "material and mastery" again: determining the durability of the foundation
High strength steel and galvanized steel are preferred as materials, which are corrosion-resistant and deformation resistant. Manufacturers can provide material testing reports for these materials.
Observe whether the surface is fluent and free of burrs, the stamping pattern is uniform, and there are no cracks/wrinkles at the edges. Defective accessories are prone to breakage during use.
3. Check "manufacturer qualifications": eliminate the risk of poor quality
Priority should be given to manufacturers who have passed TS16949 and ISO9001 certifications for more standardized production and quality control. For example, companies with mature experience such as Changshu Qiangsheng mentioned earlier are more reliable.
Avoid "three no" products and choose manufacturers with clear production qualifications and more than 5 years of experience. The products of these manufacturers have been verified by the market and have more stable quality.
4. Focus on "quality control details": avoid hidden problems
Check if there is rust prevention treatment (such as galvanizing, spraying rust proof paint), especially for parts that are prone to moisture such as the chassis and suspension. Insufficient rust prevention can significantly shorten the service life.
If the purchase quantity is large, the manufacturer can be requested to provide sample testing or view fatigue strength, impact resistance and other testing reports to ensure long-term use without chain breakage.
5. Confirm "after-sales support": reduce subsequent troubles
Request to provide a 1-3 year warranty, clarify the return and exchange policy for non-human damage, and avoid any potential issues.
Choose a manufacturer with technical support, and consult promptly when encountering problems during installation or use to avoid affecting accessory performance due to improper installation.
