SCOPE The material defined by this specification is pumpable, one component, thermal curing, weldable or rivetable structural adhesives for aluminum. 2. APPLICATION This specification wa

3、s released originally for materials used to structurally bond body components such as top rails, rear sills, and cross members to floor pans and inners to outers in a wheel house. This adhesive can be used to bond oily, unclean mill finish and pretreated aluminum sheet, castings and extrusions for b

4、ody-in white applications. The use of pretreated aluminum sheet, castings and extrusions provide optimal adhesion performance for long term durability. Optimal adhesion strengths are achieved with adhesive bondlines of 0.25 mm. The material is cured in the electrocoat oven. The Manufacturing Propert

5、ies and Engineering Performance requirements defined in this specification are based on laboratory sample testing and define the minimum acceptance criteria for adhesive performance. The function and design requirements for the application are defined by the Sub-system Design Specification (SDS), ke

6、y life test requirements, or vehicle program requirements. Prior to use, the adhesive must be evaluated under the production parameters. The choice of substrates, stamping lubricants, stamping plant processing conditions, assembly plant processing conditions and specific design application may affec

7、t adhesive performance. Compliance with this specification does not guarantee the adhesive will function for all potential applications on a vehicle. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 APPROVED SOURCES This specification requires the use of approved sources. Only the sources identified on the Ford Approved Source

8、List (ASL) can be used when this specification is listed on the drawing, CAD file, or other documents. The list of approved sources is located within Ford at or available externally through a Ford Materials Engineer. 3.2 SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY Initial adhesive approval was based on a specific materia

9、l system which included the substrate, stamping lubricants and adhesive. The material system was oven cured using specific production process parameters. Substrate choice, stamping lubricants, stamping plant processing conditions and assembly plant processing conditions may affect adhesive performan

10、ce. If any of these parameters are changed, the adhesive performance must be validated using the new parameters.
