Usually, the hood of a car is a car part that many car owners often observe. The engine hood can effectively protect the precision parts inside the automobile engine, so it is necessary to install the automobile hood.

Material selection of automobile hood

The common materials of the engine front cover are cold rolled steel plate, engineering plastic, and aluminum.

Among them, the cold-rolled steel plate applies to the front cover which is easy to be punched and formed. To reduce weight and cost, the front cover of the belt drive is made of plastic. Due to the complex structure, the front cover of the chain drive is not easy to be formed by stamping. So it is not suitable to use cold rolled steel plates, most of which are plastic or aluminum castings. Since the front cover structure needs to be equipped with front suspension points, which require high strength of the structure, aluminum is selected as the material of the front cover.

The function of automobile hood

• After the hood of the car is installed first, it can increase the beauty of the interior of the car hood because if the hood is not installed, you can directly open the car hood to see the engine parts and oil pipes.

• The installation of the hood can prevent dust and water. Generally speaking, after the hood is installed, it can effectively prevent dust or water from entering the engine compartment during car washing or driving, to prevent parts from being damaged.

• In addition, after installing the automobile hood, it can also effectively isolate the noise generated by the engine. For vehicles with loud engine noise, it is a very good choice to reduce the noise by installing the hood. At the same time, the engine hood will not affect the heat dissipation of the automobile engine.
