41 00... Straightening Steel Components In The Structure: Notes
- High-strength and super-high-strength steel plates as a rule cannot be reshaped. Reshaping only serves as a preparatory measure to replacing the component in order to achieve optimal joining of the connection points.
- Bearing body components such as e.g. engine supports, door pillars, side members etc. with deformations which can no longer be returned to their original shape by "cold straightening" must be replaced.
Heating bearing body components for better reshaping is not permitted!
Failure to comply with this requirement would result in a loss of original strength of up to 40 %.
