Connections/Joints of Aluminum/Magnesium and Steel

Connections/Joints of Aluminum/Magnesium and Steel

• When connecting/joining aluminum or magnesium with steel the following description for the corrosion protection measures must be observed.

• A protective foil must be used at the bolted points between aluminum and steel or magnesium and steel:

• Fender

• Hood

• Doors

• Trunk lid/tailgate

• Use only "dacromet" coated bolts when joining aluminum or magnesium to steel, these bolts may only be used once. Dacromet is a green chemical coating which protects against contact corrosion.

• Non-metallic connections/joints or sealing elements (door seals, trunk lid/tailgate seals) between two different metals must not be electro-conductive.
