Marketplace New Corrosion-Resistant Wheel Coating Accuride has introduced a new three-phase coating process called Steel Armor for its commercial vehicle steel wheels. The company says the process enhances corrosionfighting properties that extend steel wheel service life by up to two years compared to standard coatings currently in use in the industry. The new Steel Armor powder coating technology employs a proprietary protection process that improves the look and life of steel wheels, the company says, and can save fleets upwards of $630 per truck by deferring wheel refinishing costs.
