Dura-Bright is not a coating, but rather a surface treatment that penetrates the aluminum and becomes an integral part of the wheel. In addition, Alcoa&#8217;s wheels are made from one piece of forged aluminum, making them lighter and five times stronger than steel wheels, increasing payload and fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn addition, the wheel is up to three times more resistant to chemicals, including hydrofluoric acid, found in the toughest truck wash cleaning agents. This enables the use of a wider variety of cleaning solutions to simplify maintenance, while preserving the integrity and brightness of the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAlcoa&#8217;s surface treatment experts at the Alcoa Technical Center developed the Dura-Bright wheel technology in collaboration with the Alcoa Wheel and Transportation Products business. The Company launched the first Dura-Bright product in 2003. Three years later, Alcoa&#8217;s experts improved the brightness and corrosion performance of the Dura-Bright treatment and introduced Dura-Bright wheels with XBR technology. Alcoa&#8217;s scientists have now enhanced the patented Dura-Bright technology with the development of Dura-Bright EVO wheels.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Dura-Bright EVO wheel is now commercially available in Europe, where the Company has already seen significant adoption of its Dura-Bright wheels. Alcoa has begun producing the wheel at its manufacturing plant in Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r, Hungary. The wheel is expected to be available in all other markets in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alcoa.com\/global\/en\/news\/news_detail.asp?pageID=20140123000187en&amp;newsYear=2014\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; line-height: 1.333333333em;\">http:\/\/www.alcoa.com\/global\/en\/news\/news_detail.asp?pageID=20140123000187en&amp;newsYear=2014<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alcoa, Pittsburgh, introduces the surface-treated Dura-Bright EVO commercial truck wheel, said to be ten times more resistant to corrosion that is primarily caused by road salts and weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63082,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[446,439,454,440,441,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-automobiles-and-ground-transportation","category-general","category-metals-and-alloys","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
