[0027] As shown, the surface coating 5 includes a corrosion-resistant coating 51 and a wear-resistant coating 52, which are attached to the outer surface of the bar body 1. The corrosion-resistant coating 51 can form a protective film to prevent corrosive substances from contacting the metal surface of the bar body 1, thereby preventing rust and corrosion of the bar body 1 and prolonging the service life of the torsion bar. The wear-resistant coating 52 can improve the hardness and wear resistance of the surface of the bar body 1, reducing wear caused by friction.
