Ford’s new AC rustproofing for lamps at Flat Rock plant
Ford Motor Co has perfected a novel alternating current rustproofing method for head and tail lamps at the Flat Rock Michigan plant. The process, used on all production, reduces floor space, yields a rustproof surface after dipping, and with a 1,000 hour salt spray shows no rust. Lamps are prepped by an oily wipe to create a partial oil film, enabling zinc deposition before acid etching. The method uses alternating current, not electroplating, running 60 cycles per second while lamps act as both anode and cathode.
