Thermal Diffusion Coatings Protect Automotive Lock Parts

摘要

The automotive industry faces some of the strictest regulations when it comes to meeting environmental and safety standards for materials and parts for manufactured vehicles. Those restrictions became even more challenging for auto makers when the European Commission adopted the ELV (End of Live Vehicles) Directive in 1997. Put in place as a means to make vehicle dismantling and recycling more environmentally friendly, the ELV and other regulatory EU directives force auto makers to search for ways to maintain the highest level of quality for metal finished parts while meeting the growing demands for environmentally safe materials.
