PRECAUTION

REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL

High Strength Steel (HSS)

INFOID:0000000003468466

High strength steel is used for body panels in order to reduce vehicle weight.
Accordingly, precautions in repairing automotive bodies made of high strength steel are described below:

Read the following precautions when repairing HSS:
1.

Additional points to consider
• The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heat-

ing is not recommended because it may weaken the compo-
nent. When heating is unavoidable, never heat HSS parts
above 550

C (1,022

F).

Verify heating temperature with a thermometer.
(Crayon-type and other similar type thermometer are appropri-
ate.)

• When straightening body panels, use caution in pulling any

HSS panel. Because HSS is very strong, pulling may cause
deformation in adjacent sections of the body. In this case,
increase the number of measuring points, and carefully pull
the HSS panel.

• Upper hoodledge

< PRECAUTION >

REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL

• When cutting HSS panels, avoid gas (torch) cutting if possible.

Instead, use a saw to avoid weakening surrounding areas due
to heat. If gas (torch) cutting is unavoidable, allow a minimum
margin of 50 mm (1.97 in).

• When welding HSS panels, use spot welding whenever possi-

ble in order to minimize weakening surrounding areas due to
heat.
If spot welding is impossible, use MIG. welding. Do not use
gas (torch) for welding because it is inferior in welding
strength.

• Spot welding on HSS panels is harder than that of an ordinary

steel panel.
Therefore, when cutting spot welds on a HSS panel, use a low
speed high torque drill (1,000 to 1,200 rpm) to increase drill bit
durability and facilitate the operation.

Precautions in spot welding HSS
This work should be performed under standard working condi-
tions. Always note the following when spot welding HSS:
• The electrode tip diameter must be sized properly according to

the metal thickness.

Foam Repair

INFOID:0000000004304570

During factory body assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels and locations around the
vehicle. Use the following procedure(s) to replace any factory-installed foam insulators.

URETHANE FOAM APPLICATIONS

Use commercially available Urethane foam for sealant (foam material) repair of material used on vehicle.

Read instructions on product for fill procedures.

Example of foaming agent filling operation procedure

Fill procedures after installation of service part.

Eliminate foam material remaining on vehicle side.

Clean area after eliminating form insulator and foam material.

Install service part.

Insert nozzle into hole near fill area and fill foam material or fill enough to close gap with the service part.

Fill procedures before installation of service part.

Eliminate foam material remaining on vehicle side.

Clean area after eliminating foam insulator and foam material.

Fill foam material on wheelhouse outer side.

• When using a tracking gauge, adjust both pointers to equal length. Then check the pointers and gauge itself

to make sure there is no free play.

• When a measuring tape is used, check that there is no elongation, twisting, or bending.
• Measurements should be taken at the center of the mounting holes.
• An asterisk (*) following the value at the measuring point indicates that the measuring point on the other side

is symmetrically the same value.
