Li Xiang: I suggest friends who think that aluminum is better than steel and iron to replace the steel structure of their house with aluminum.

On July 13, Li Xiang, CEO of Ideal, made another controversial statement when responding to netizens about the “silver coating on the rear arm of L9”.

He wrote in the comments section:It is strongly recommended that netizens who think that aluminum must be better than steel and iron, remove all the main steel structures of their houses and replace them with aluminum, which is absolutely safe and scientific.! This is not a trick to change the concept, but to make what you think in your mind, what you say in your mouth, what you do in action, and what you really do consistent, so that knowledge and action are unified. Where to use aluminum in a car, and where to use steel and iron, is not determined by tapping on the head and typing on the keyboard.

He further explained that: under the rear large five-link structure, the stamped structural steel plate of the lateral swing arm can achieve better strength and weight than cast aluminum.You can go experience all the full-size SUVs and see which models have the best suspension, which uses aluminum in this position of the rear lateral swing arm

The whole thing goes like this:

A netizen left a message saying, “I heard from a friend two days ago that the ideal L9 is good in everything, so I just need to place an order to support it. In fact, he has already paid the deposit, but he has not made up his mind.Because he found that the ideal (L9) suspension (I can’t remember the specific place, I have no research on the car) is obviously iron, and the manufacturer insists on painting it with aluminum alloy., which made him feel very puzzled. “

To this end, Li Xiang responded to the question: “No one stipulates that cast iron must be coated with black paint, and cast iron is not black. The large horizontal swing arm of the ideal L9 rear five-link is made of expensive anti-corrosion paint. The anti-corrosion effect is more than 200%, and the cost is higher. The color of the anti-corrosion coating is silver, and we have never said that it is aluminum, and aluminum is not a high-end thing. “

Li Xiang also added: “Conventional electrophoresis requires a minimum of 25 microns, which can ensure that the neutral salt spray does not corrode for 720 hours. The minimum 20 microns we use for Megali/Jomet can ensure that the neutral salt spray does not corrode for 1500 hours.”

Some netizens expressed support for Li Xiang’s remarks on the “reinforced structure of the house”:There is no false propaganda, and they have never said that they are using aluminum alloy. This is just spraying for the sake of spraying..

However, some netizens said that Li Xiang was secretly changing the concept:This is obviously two things, building materials and vehicle materials, can they be the same thing?

So do you agree with Li Xiang’s remarks?
