This utility model discloses a lightweight coated grille, relating to the field of automotive grille technology. It includes a
metal mesh substrate, with a
composite coating applied to the outer side of the
metal mesh substrate. The
composite coating is sequentially configured as a primer layer, a core layer, a
transition layer, and a top layer. The primer layer comprises a conversion layer and a protective layer, with the inner side of the conversion layer and the outer side of the protective layer contacting the outer side of the
metal mesh substrate and the inner side of the core layer, respectively. The conversion layer is a nano-
zirconium-based conversion agent
coating, the protective layer is a
graphene-containing
epoxy zinc-rich primer
coating, and the core layer is a hollow
ceramic microparticle-modified
polyurethane coating. The outer side of the core layer contacts the inner side of the
transition layer, and the outer side of the
transition layer contacts the inner side of the top layer. This lightweight coated grille, based on an aluminum /
magnesium alloy substrate and a multi-layer synergistic coating design, achieves comprehensive performance improvements in long-term
corrosion resistance, environmental tolerance, thermal and acoustic management, and surface self-maintenance while maintaining extreme lightweight properties.
