ZINC METALLIZED CORROSION BARRIER FOR A DRIVESHAFT

摘要

A method for protecting joined components from salt or other environmental hazards is described. The method may include joining an end fitting into a driveshaft tube which results in a gap between the two. The gap may be cleaned and dried before a moisture protecting liquidized metal coating is applied. The coating may be sprayed on as the joined end fitting and tube are rotated together. The coating fills the gap and extends laterally beyond the gap and may be subsequently covered with a phenolic resin.
