Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: Frame Straightening
Buckling portions have been work hardened. When straightening frames, straighten by pulling out while heating with oxy-acetylene gas welder. Unlike steel plates, aluminum alloy does not change color even when heated. Use a noncontact type thermometer or thermometry pen to control the temperature. Be careful not to overheat.
<Reference> Melting point of aluminum alloy: approximately 640°C (1,184°F)
Possible heating temperature Extrusion molding material (6000 series) : 110°C (230°F) Press molding material (5000 series) : 350°C (662°F) During pulling work, pulling fully with large force causes weld to peel (spot weld peeling or cracks are generated in fillet weld). Pull out gradually.
Aluminum alloy has high thermal conductivity. When heating, remove interior equipment and other related parts extensively.
Securing the Vehicle
When fixing the aluminum body to the body straightening equipment, set an aluminum alloy retaining plate [thickness: approximately 5 mm (0.20 in)] in the clamp to prevent sill flange damage.
