Not applicable.4.2.2 Test Conditions. Deviations from the requirements of this standard shall have been agreed upon. Suchrequirements shall

13、be specified on component drawings, test certificates, reports, etc.4.3 Instructions. Report the method used for cleaning the test substrate.4.3.1 Oily Metal Substrates. This test substrate may be required when evaluating materials that are applieddirectly to Body-in-White oily metal.4.3.1.1 Test Su

14、bstrate. The test substrate shall consist of flat, burr-free original body sheet metal panels orstandard purchased metal test panels. Panel size shall be according to Figure A1. The substrate quality,corrosion protection oil/ lubricants to be tested shall be according to the relevant material specif

15、ication, the partdrawing or the responsible engineer. The primary test substrate and the constraining test substrate, if required,shall have the same coating.4.3.1.2 Test Substrate Cleaning.4.3.1.2.1 Method 1: Store test panel in isoparaffine for at least 48 h at (+23 5) C. Then clean test panel wit

16、ha wipe using high-grade white spirit. After drying, the panel has to show a grey clean surface without any flowmarks. Repeat cleaning with a new wipe and high-grade white spirit as necessary.4.3.1.2.2 Method 2: Clean test panel for at least 2 minutes at (+23 5) C in high-grade white spirit using an

17、ultrasonic bath. After drying, the panel has to show a grey clean surface without any flow marks. Repeatcleaning operation with fresh high-grade white spirit as necessary.Note: After cleaning, substrate oiling shall quickly follow to prevent corrosion. During all the test procedures,the test panels

18、shall not be touched by hands, but, if need be, shall be held with forceps.4.3.1.3 Test Substrate Oiling. Shake the corrosion protection oil / lubricant well before removing the requiredoiling quantity. Test panels may be heated briefly in the drying oven to +60 C maximum to facilitate the oilapplic

19、ation. Then apply a few drops of oil onto the test panel and spread the oil volume evenly using a wipe orroller.Copyright General Motors Company Provided by IHS under license with General Motors CompanyNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-GM WORLDWIDE EN
