Corrosion

K-ALLOY™ provides unexpected levels of corrosion resistance when compared to traditional aluminum alloys.

  • No need for layers/elimination of secondary coatings
  • No water intrusion due to corrosion
  • Components can be placed lower in the vehicle
  • Components can withstand harsher environments
  • Can withstand strict environments for aluminum components and weight reduction requirements
