今年5月，华北地区遭遇强对流天气，不少露天停放的车辆遭遇冰雹袭击。对于修复凹痕，许多车主会本能地认为必须通过钣金喷漆来修复。那么，冰 雹砸了车就一定要这样维修吗？ 万事不决 钣金喷漆？ 到底要不要钣金喷漆，主要看漆面受损情况。车身覆盖件损伤主要包括自然侵蚀、物理损伤、化学腐蚀、养护不当等，冰雹这类伤害属于碰撞变形，由 于汽车的覆盖件主要是1mm厚的镀锌钢板或铝合金加上复合材料组成，当遭遇外力时，钢板产生塑性形变，从而产生凹坑。不过，与剐蹭相比，冰雹的损 伤还有一个特点就是几乎不会伤到漆面本身。 由冰雹冲击产生的损伤，几乎只存在于钢板本身，而漆面几乎无破损、无开裂。这种情况，并不建议钣喷修复。 所谓钣金喷漆，大致流程为车身拆解，遮蔽保护，清除旧漆面，使用砂纸机打磨损伤区域至金属基材，然后进行钣金校正。对于冰雹产生的凹陷，使用 吸盘式拉拔器配合木槌敲击复位。对于较深的凹陷，还需要焊接钣金介子，通过液压拉伸机复位，然后找平处理。处理好金属基材后，就是腻子施工、打 磨、喷涂底漆、中涂、色漆、清漆、抛光后完成修复。 钣喷修复的最大特点，夸张点儿形容就是粗暴。这样的程序会让你和原厂漆面说再见，同时也会将原厂的部分防腐处理 ...

Core Viewpoint - AerSale Corporation (ASLE) has underperformed in the market, with a 5% decline in shares over the past month, contrasting with the 16.2% rise in the Zacks Aerospace-Defense Equipment industry and a 17% gain in the broader Zacks Aerospace sector [1][2]. Company Performance - ASLE's disappointing first-quarter 2025 financial results were the primary reason for its poor stock performance, with a 27.4% year-over-year decline in revenues, largely due to a significant drop in whole asset sales [5][6]. - The company sold only one engine in the quarter, compared to one aircraft and four engines in the same period of 2024 [5]. - ASLE's bottom line also showed deterioration from the previous year and missed analysts' estimates, leading to a 12.5% reduction in its price target by Royal Bank of Canada [6]. Management Outlook - Despite recent setbacks, ASLE's management remains optimistic, citing a 23.4% revenue increase in core business segments (excluding whole asset sales) driven by strong demand for Used Serviceable Material (USM) [7]. - The company ended the first quarter of 2025 with $11 million in cash and only $5 million in total debt, indicating strong solvency and the ability to invest in innovations like the AerAware Enhanced Flight Vision System [10]. Industry Trends - The global increase in air traffic and demand for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services is expected to support future demand for ASLE's USMs and other offerings [8]. - However, the imposition of import tariffs by the U.S. government poses a risk to the global aerospace supply chain, potentially affecting demand for ASLE's USMs [11][12]. Financial Estimates - The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second and third-quarter 2025 sales suggests year-over-year growth, but the estimate for 2025 indicates a slight drop, while 2026 sales are projected to improve [13]. - Near-term earnings estimates show solid improvement, but recent downward revisions in estimates indicate a loss of investor confidence [14]. Valuation - ASLE's forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 10.92X, significantly lower than its peer group average of 36.06X, suggesting a discount in valuation [17]. - In contrast, industry peers like Astronics (ATRO) and Leonardo DRS (DRS) are trading at higher P/E ratios of 19.08X and 36.20X, respectively [18]. Investment Considerations - Despite trading at a discount, ASLE is perceived to be entering value trap territory due to weak performance and a low Value Score of D [19]. - The company's Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) further supports the cautious outlook on ASLE stock [20].

经过以消费电子产品维修网站iFixit为代表一系列组织多年的呼吁，苹果方面在2021年终于对"Right to Repair"（维修权）松口，让苹果设备的用户在维修自己设备时有了更多的选择。然而苹果开放维修权 尽管让用户摆脱了官方高价零部件的"压榨"，却也让iPhone维修领域的水变得愈发浑浊。 "零件序列化"指的是维修用的零部件必须带有官方序列号才可以正常使用，如使用未经验证的第三方零 件，就可能会导致设备的某些功能受限或是无法使用。例如iPhone的电源管理IC会配对电池序列号，如 果用户想更换第三方电池，就将锁死电池健康功能。又或者当iPad Pro的屏幕发生故障时，如果换用了 非原厂屏，那么Apple Pencil就会无法使用。 为此，苹果在最新的iOS 18.5 Beta版中更新了"部件与维修"功能，其中对于拆机零部件的诊断提示也 从"已使用"改为了"二手"。相比含义模糊的"已使用"，"二手"这个标签就无异于是提醒用户iPhone的电 池并非全新，直接就让用二手拆机件冒充全新零件的第三方维修商无所遁形。 从某种程度来说，这其实更像是苹果在iOS 18.5 Beta中对于用户自主诊断功能的亡羊补牢。众 ...
