Aluminum wheel surface treatment

Jul 19, 2012

Updated Aug 21, 2012

Accuride Corporation announced its newest aluminum wheel product, Accu-Armor. Accu-Armor aluminum wheels undergo a proprietary, multi-step, post-production treatment process that texturizes, anodizes and seals the surface without changing or compromising the wheels’ original form, fit or function, the company says. As a result of this process, Accu-Armor says its wheels are resistant to scratching and scuffing, filiform corrosion, high- and low-pH chemicals commonly used in truck washes and common chemicals used in de-icing road surfaces.

The wheels are also durable to exposure to heat and UV light and will not chalk or fade, the company says.
