| What applications have aluminum shafts? |
Ford & GM have vehicles with aluminum driveshafts (i.e. Aerostar,
Corvette, GMC Truck, Firebird) |
| Why do the U-Joints have a protective coating? |
To stop galvanic action (corrosion) between aluminum & steel. |
| Where is the coating applied? |
The cups are steel, this requires a protective coating on the outer
surface that makes contact with the yoke lugs & bearing bores. Without a special
coating between the surfaces of aluminum to steel, the aluminum pits, flakes &
crumbles. |
| How is this done? |
A chemical process developed and used in order to stop galvanic corrosion
has been applied. A barrier coating between .0002" - .0005" thick is
applied to the outer diameter of the cups. |
Don't risk using standard universal
joints without the chemical coating applied. Protect your customers expensive
aluminum driveshafts!
