Question 2: Answer

5 &u-pers can *e -ade in a plastic2 .i*er glass alu-inu-s and steel. 5 The1 start as *lan3 steel to -a3e a *u-per. The steel sheet is a*out 2-- thic3. 5 The ro*ot .eed each o. the *lan3 steel to a series o. dies= the t1pe o. the dies )ill *e depending
according to the *u-per -odel.

5 The .orce o. 200tan )ill *e applied .or the each die sta-ps the *lan3 to produce a particular
shape. These processes .or- the *lan3 to the .inal shape o. *u-per.

5 &oth o. the .ront and rear *u-per )ill undergo to the sa-e process )ith di..erent dies. 5 The ne;t stage2 the )or3er cla-ps the *u-per on to a special design cart and )ill undergo
painting and rust protection treat-ent. +.ter this process2 the *u-per )ill send to plating process. /uring this process2 the sur.ace o. *u-per has to *e i-pecca*l1 s-ooth *ecause the chro-e .inish -agni.ied e'en though the -eniscus .la). /uring this process also the *u-per )ill undergo se'eral cleaning tan3 to re-o'e an1 residue that occurs during pre'ious process.

5 the process o. appl1ing the .irst coat o. nic3el plating is to protect the steel .ro- corrosion and
thus appl1 a la1er o. chro-e tan3 .actor1 using standard electro plating process )ater tan3 and .ill it lashes che-ical coating -aterial particles )ith a positi'e charge and a negati'e charge running through the *u-per.

5 +.ter this process2 the *u-pers send to the inspection area )or3ers scra)nier the chro-e -irror

-achine co-es )ith *uild<in cooling s1ste-. 4t helps the plastic to hardened in short period ti-e.

5 +.ter the plastic is co'ering the pad stac3 on the rear *u-per. (hen the pad is read12 )or3ers
attach a trailer hitch and a *uilt<in steel -ounting *rac3et that also strengthen the *u-per structure.
