Two levels of types of substrates are defined as follows: WSS-M5P8-B1 Plastic WSS-M5P8-B2 Metal Specific substrate and coatings (basecoat, metal, topcoat), the coating thicknesses, and respective cure sch

4、edules are to be determined by the Process Window DOE (Per Para 4.1) and specified on the Engineering Drawing or applicable Engineering Material Specification. 2.1 LIMITATIONS Coating systems described within are not to be used for first surface exterior applications.

16、4.1 PROCESS WINDOW DEFINITION The supplier shall perform a Design of Experiments to determine the process window of the substrate/coatings combination. The three variables/parameters for paint layers to be included in the design are cure temperature, cure time, and film thickness. An initial screeni

17、ng experiment should be run to determine what levels should be tested for the variables/parameters. This screening experiment should be reviewed with the materials engineer to set up the final DOE. Responses for the DOE shall include, but are not limited to, the following: Initial Adhesion, Para 3.4

18、 Water Resistance, Para 3.5.3 ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION WSS-M5P8-B1/B2 Controlled document at www.MATS Copyright 2011, Ford Global Technologies, LLC Page 4 of 5 4.2 MOLDED PARTS Parts shall be metalized as soon after molding as possible. The surface shall be free from dirt, lint, mold relea

19、se agents or any other contaminants. If using BMC, parts must have all flash removed prior to metalizing to minimize errant debris from subsequent manufacturing operations (lamp and bulb shield insertion). Plastic parts intended for metalizing by this specification must be molded in keeping with the

20、 best commercial practice to achieve stress-free parts and ensure good metallization. Molded-in stresses can result in part failure by loss of adhesion and / or cracking of the substrate and / or metallization. If parts show cracking, crazing, or checking when tested to Section 3.5, they must be str

21、ess relieved according to a cycle agreed upon by the supplier and the responsible product engineering office. 4.3 BASECOAT USAGE Cast aluminum and BMC reflectors require basecoat prior to metallization to achieve reflectivity sufficient to pass photometry in the end item otherwise basecoats should b

22、e avoided unless mutually agreed upon between Product Development and Materials Engineering. 4.4 DESIGN These coatings are impacted by part geometry. Cavities which are more than twice as deep as the narrowest dimension of the projected optic cavity of the part are to be avoided. This effect is made

23、 worse by the presence of sharp corners of the metalized parts. BMC reflector tools must optimize fill and gate designs to minimize flash and parting lines in areas where additional manufacturing processes will occur. Mounting bosses shall utilize reinforcement ribs and gussets where acute angles to

24、 reflector parabola are unavoidable. 4.5 SYSTEM COMPONENTS 4.5.1 Substrate Substrate material will be dictated by the performance requirements of the assembled end item. 4.5.2 Basecoat (if required) This application only applies to substrates that cant meet reflectance standards without an additiona

25、l seal coat (BMC, cast aluminum, etc.). 4.5.3 Metalize Metal coating shall be applied by evaporation or sputter in a vacuum. Processing conditions will be determined for film thickness, opacity and luster desired. 4.5.4 Topcoat Clear top coat must be applied over the metalized surface. Film thicknes

26、s and cure as recommended by supplier of the top coat.
