SCOPE The materials defined by th

4、ese specifications are for direct cast, 6000 series, heat treatable aluminum sheet. Ford Motor Company may, at its option and in agreement with the local or regional supplier, define additional and/or restricted technical delivery requirements such as mechanical properties, forming characteristics,

5、and/or pretreatment for a specific grade and/or part. The defined requirements shall be mandatory and no characteristics shall conflict with these engineering specifications. 2. APPLICATION These global specifications were released originally for stamped automotive body parts. 2.1 LIMITATIONS The yi

6、eld strength of the material in the part after the paint baking process is a function of the amount of forming deformation and the time-temperature profile during the paint baking process. The mechanical property values shown in Table 2 apply only to the listed condition; individual parts will have

7、different properties, depending on specific processing in the vehicle manufacturing plants. 2.2 DEFINITIONS Variant A1 is a structural alloy with gage thicknesses less than or equal to 1.5 mm, typically applied to non-visible structural parts (Class 3) where high strength and modest ductility are re

8、quired. This variant is applicable to parts that may be susceptible to intergranular corrosion or stress corrosion cracking, or parts that will be heat treated after forming.

9、iant A2 is a structural alloy with gage thicknesses of 0.8 to 4.0 mm, typically applied to non-visible structural parts (Class 3) where high strength and modest ductility are required. This variant is applicable to parts that may be susceptible to intergranular corrosion or stress corrosion cracking

10、, or parts that will be heat treated after forming. Variant A3 is a low copper, structural alloy with gage thicknesses 0.8 to 4.0 mm, typically applied to non-visible structural parts (Class 3) where high strength and modest ductility are required. This variant is applicable to parts that may be sus

11、ceptible to intergranular corrosion or stress corrosion cracking, or parts that will be heat treated after forming. Variant A4 is an energy absorption alloy, typically applied to non-visible structural parts (Class 3) where controlled in-service deformation behavior and thermal stability are desired

12、. Variant A5 is a high formability, structural alloy with gage thicknesses greater than 1.5mm, typically applied to non-visible structural parts (Class 3). This variant is applicable for parts having design features that require the material to be stamped in O temper and subsequently require heat tr

13、eatment using a water quench to a strengthened T72 temper. Variant A6 is a high formability, structural alloy with gage thicknesses greater than 1.5mm, typically applied to non-visible structural parts (Class 3). This variant is applicable for parts having design features that require the material t

14、o be stamped in O temper and subsequently require heat treatment using an air quench to a strengthened T52 temper. T52 is an air quench heat treatment used to maintain as-stamped dimensional tolerances. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part pr

15、oducers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements for Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Quality System Requirements. In order for materials to comply with the requirements of the material specification they shall be sou

16、rced from suppliers listed in the Ford Motor Company Approved Source List, ASL (See also paragraph 4.2). 3.2 CHEMICAL COMPOSITION (ASTM E34, ASTM E716, ASTM E1251) 3.2.1 Chemical Composition The upper and lower limits of chemical composition of the controlled elements shall be established by the sup

17、plier by any of the listed methods and included in the Suppliers Control Plan. In case of dispute, the referee method shall be ASTM E34. The tabulated upper and lower limits of chemical composition for each variant may not agree with those listed in the Aluminum Association “Teal Sheets.“ The values

18、 in Table 1 take precedence. Ladle analyses shall be provided as part of the initial material source approval process in a format suitable for upload into the Ford Material Database.
