Accuride Corp., Evansville, Ind., announces the launch of its proprietary EverSteel wheel technology, which has demonstrated six times longer life than its North American and offshore competitors, and double the operational life of Accuride’s Steel Armor steel wheels.
First, EverSteel metal surface treatment is applied to the bare steel to protect it from harsh daily wear and tear. This is followed by a zinc phosphate pre-treatment that prepares the metal for maximum adhesion. Then an enhanced cathodic epoxy electro-coat optimized for sharp-edge and overall corrosion protection is applied. Lastly, Accuride’s Steel Armor premium powder top coat is applied.
By bonding EverSteel technology with its Steel Armor powder coating and a high-performance epoxy electro-coat, Accuride has developed an enhanced protection system that delivers unmatched corrosion-resistance and longer wheel life. EverSteel forms a tough barrier that isolates the wheel from the harshest of elements and makes it resistant to chips from normal road wear.
The advanced corrosion-fighting properties resulting from EverSteel’s proprietary four-phase coating process deliver unmatched durability and wheel service life. This enables Accuride to offer customers the industry’s first warranty against steel-wheel corrosion with EverSteel.
