| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for protecting an area of a vehicle body and/or for lining this area underneath, during which the vehicle body is introduced into an anti-corrosion dipping bath having an increased temperature, particularly ranging from 150 to 180 DEG C, and is held therein for a predetermined time. A gap-forming and/or ring-forming area of the vehicle body, particularly an area that is freely accessible before introducing the vehicle body into the anti-corrosion dipping bath but is no longer freely accessible during a subsequent painting process, is provided with an element, which is adapted to the shape of said area, before the vehicle body is introduced into the anti-corrosion dipping bath. Said element has a section, which expands at the increased temperature inside the anti-corrosion dipping bath and, afterwards, remains essentially in its expanded state at a normal temperature. This element is shaped in such a manner that enables it, in its initial state, to be inserted into the area at risk of corrosion, whereby the element completely fills this area after expanding while outwardly sealing it in a moisture-tight manner. |
