7-14 (b) Precaution
(1) For the number of spot welding, it depends on the following
principles.
S pot welding:1.3 times of the number specified by the manufacturer
Hole-filling welding: more than the number specified by the
manufacturer
(2) When carrying out the hole-filling welding, MIG welder
shall be used. It is not allowed to use the oxyacetylene
welding or braze welding outside the specified area.
(c) Abrasion after welding
(1) After the welding, make sure to check the welding position
whether it is welded firmly.
(2) When abrading the welding position with disc abrader,
never abrade it too much, which may weakens the strength
of the welding position.
(d) Precaution of spot welding
(1) The shape of the spot welder head may affect the strength
of the welding.
(2) Make sure to remove the paint film on the surface of the spot
welding and the contact surface of the welder head.
(e) Position of spot welding
In the spot welding process, overlap with the old welding
position shall be avoided.
4. Anti-rust Processing
(a) Apply sealant
In the waterproof and antirust part operation, make sure to
apply the sealant on the joint of the steel plates,door,and engine
hood corner.Wrong CorrectWrong

5. Base Anti-rust Processing
Impact-proof Coat
In order to avoid corrosion and protect the body from being damaged by bouncing stone on the road, a layer
of impact-proof coat is applied on the door threshold plate, arc area and balancing plate etc.
Tips: There are two types of painting: impact-resistant coat on the electrophoresis primer or on the surface paint
according to different types and painting positions. (See Fig.5-22)7-15IV. Repair Requirement 1. As the body is an integral structure and the steel plates used are not thick, special attention shall be paid to
reinforce the parts acted in the reshaping process in the plate work processing. For the parts that burden the stress
intensively, measures shall be taken to lower the local stress.
2. After the plate work processing, note to apply the antirust primer on the inside and outside surfaces to avoid
corrosion.
3. In the body repair process, repair the old parts; or remove the parts with serious defects and order new parts
from the manufacturer.
4. When making body reshaping or parts welding, make sure that all main control points of the body are within
the specified scope in the design.
5. The strength and serviceability of the repaired body shall not be lower than those of the new vehicle.
6. The outside decoration of the repaired body shall meet the requirements by the new vehicle body and the
drivers in various aspects, such as modern aesthetics and ergonomics etc. (b) Apply primer
In order to prevent rust and protect the body steel plate from
being damaged by the bouncing stone, sufficient primer is
applied onto the body base and inner wheel cup.
(c) Apply antirust (wax)
In order to prevent the painting part from rusting, sufficient
antirust is applied on the engine cover, door inner corner, hinge
ambiance, or in the inside welding part of the box section
structures such as side beam, body post.Fig. 5-22 Apply the impact-proof coat on the surface paint

2. Shock Absorption & Noise Isolation
(1) Body structure (Fig. 5-37)
a. Arrange the reinforced bar reasonably to improve the parts' rigidity, reduce the shock and lower the noise.
b. Apply the sealant in the floor seam to improve the floor sealing and reduce the noise in the cabin.Fig. 5-37 Front Wall Panel

2. Front wall mid-frame panel
3. Front wall lower main panel
4. Heat-isolated pad
Fig. 5-38 (a) Body floor
1. Front mud guard 2. Rear side wall 3. Rear wheel housing 4.Floor sides (2) Deadening
It is an interactive and systemic work to make the body isolate heat, shock and noise. Besides the measures
carried out to improve the body's stiffness and sealing performance, the following measures shall be taken in the
design and manufacture process.
a. Sound isolation material: add sound isolation pad on the front wall and floor.
b. Sound absorption material: add molded carpet on the front floor and rear floor.
3. Sealing
Special consideration has been given to the sealing of the body both in design process and in manufactureprocess. Sealing plays an important role in many aspects, such as dust resistance, water resistance, corrosionresistance, heat resistance, heat preservation, and noise reduce etc. Especially when the body floor and front wall
stay in a tough external condition, the mud, dust, noises (from the tire and engine) and hot air will invade into the
cabin any time.
After the body assembly is welded, sealant will be employed on all joints to prevent the water and steam
penetrating into the metal seam and ensure the quality of subsequent painting.
In addition, a thick layer of impact-proof PVC coat is applied on the base of the body, which has excellentsealing performance. For the sealing to those assemblies, the traditional sealing method is used, such as rubber sealBody Repair -Features and Composition of Automobile Body7-251

4. Surface Treatment
Surface treatment shall be strict, careful and all-around. Though this car is not a deluxe sedan, it nearly has no
difference with the deluxe sedan in the surface treatment.
a. Phosphoric acid processing
Phosphoric acid processing is also called pretreatment before painting. After removing the grease on the body
by washing, apply zinc phosphate onto the body, with a thickness under 3
but also can help to increase adhesion in the next coating process.
b. Cathode electrophoresis
In the practical application, the electrophoresis painting shows many advantages, such as high efficiency, good
quality, safety and cost effectiveness. It is accompanied with four electrochemical phenomena including
electroanalysis, electrophoresis, electrodeposition and electroosmosis. The cathode electrophoresis is much better
than the anode electrophoresis both in the features and advantages. Incomparably, the process is strict extremely.
c. Intermediate coat
The intermediate coat is also called intermediate layer, which is located between the primer and the surface
paint. Its function is to improve the evenness of the painted work piece and the primer and provide the surface paint
with a good base to improve the paint's brightness and richness and improve the decoration of the entire coat.
d. Surface paint
The surface paint is the last coat in the multiple coats, which directly affect the vehicle's decoration,
weatherability and appearance etc. Great attention shall be made when selecting the surface paint, including its
adaptability, cost-effectiveness and usability. All performance indexes shall meet the national standard and
industrial standard. The paint shall be even and smooth.
e. Protective coat
For those vehicles parked outside for a long time (more than three months) or used for shipping, water-soluble
protective wax shall be applied on the outside surface of the body. This agent contains ultraviolet absorbent. Before
selling the vehicle, wash it with soap detergent and flush it with clean water, to make the paint brighter.7-34Fig. 5-38 (j) Painting Position of Impact-proof CoatPVC Impact-proof Coat Body Repair -Features and Composition of Automobile Body m. It not only can protect the work piece,
