Technician A says the Bend vs. Kink rule is as applicable for advanced high strength steel repairs as it is for mild steel. Technician B says resistance spot welding is a common practice when replacing structural parts. Who is correct?
A) A only
B) B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because resistance spot welding is indeed a common and preferred method for replacing structural parts in vehicles, especially when dealing with high strength steels. Technician A is incorrect because the Bend vs. Kink rule, which allows bending but not kinking for repairability, does not apply as straightforwardly to advanced high strength steel (AHSS) due to its different properties compared to mild steel. AHSS often requires different handling and repair techniques.
