Threads shall be roll formed unless otherwise specified on the product drawing. Thread quality must meet GMW16551. 3.3.3 Cleaning. Concentrated acids, such as, hydroch

10、loric acid, shall not be used during the manufacturing or plating/coating of the U-Bolt. 3.3.4 Stress Relief. Grade A Stress Relieved and Grade B Stress Relieved shall be identified on the drawing as shown in 1.1. Finished U-Bolts shall be stress relieved at a temperature of not less than 288 C for

11、a minimum of 30 minutes. 3.3.5 Hydrogen Embrittlement. All U-Bolts processed through a hydrogen generating process, such as acid cleaning or electroplating, shall be hydrogen embrittlement relieved per SAE/USCAR-5. Verification of embrittlement relief shall be performed per SAE/USCAR-7. 3.4 Mechanic

12、al Properties. 3.4.1 The U-Bolts shall meet the Mechanical Properties shown in Table 2. The listed tensile strength represents the minimum value for the threaded portion of one U-Bolt leg.

The Saddle Tensile Test

14、 is described in A1.1. Hardness Testing is described in A1.2. The minimum tensile load, (LT) in kilonewton (kN) based on the Tensile Strength, (Rm) in Megapascals (MPa) shown in Table 2 for a saddle tensile test of a complete U-Bolt is calculated as follows: LT minimum = 0.0016991 (As x Rm) As = 0.7

15、854 (D - 0.9382P) 2 Where As =Thread Stress Area in mm2, D = Nominal Thread Diameter in millimeters (mm) and P=Thread Pitch in millimeters (mm). Example: M14 U-Bolt with Thread Pitch=2.00 mm As =0.7854(14.00-0.9382(2.00)2 = 115.44 mm2 LT minimum = 0.0016991(115.44 900) = 176.51 kN Copyright General

17、dness shall not exceed base metal hardness by more than two (2) points, Hardness Rockwell (HRc) equivalent. 3.5 Surface Discontinuities. U-Bolts shall not have surface discontinuities exceeding the limits specified in ISO 6157. Surface discontinuities for sizes and lengths not covered in the scope o

18、f ISO 6157 shall be defined by the responsible GM Fastener Engineer. Discontinuities at the root of the thread due to use of serrated thread forming dies are permissible if the serrations do not affect the mechanical properties of the thread. 4 Manufacturing Process 5 Rules and Regulations 5.1 Legal

19、 Regulations. All materials must satisfy applicable laws, rules, regulations and recommendations valid in the country of usage. 5.2 Language. In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 5.3 Inspection and Rejection. Samples of compo

20、nents or materials released to a GM material specification shall be tested for conformity with the requirements of this material specification and approved by the responsible Engineering department prior to commencement of delivery of bulk supplies. A new approval must be received for any changes, e

21、.g., properties, manufacturing process, location of manufacture, etc. If not otherwise agreed, all testing and documentation normally required for initial release must be completed. It is the responsibility of the supplier to inform the customer in a timely manner, without solicitation, and to inclu

22、de documentation of all modifications of materials and/or processes and to apply for a new release. If not otherwise agreed, all release tests shall be repeated and documented by the supplier prior to commencement of delivery of non-conforming bulk supplies. In individual cases, a shorter test can b

For new product submissions, or when a change in chemical composition of an existing product has occurred, a complete copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet/Saf

24、ety Data Sheet must be submitted in compliance with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) requirements or other country-specific MSDS/SDS requirements. In addition, product MSDS/SDS submissions must be in compliance with specific country General Motors TMC0

25、03 Material Safety Data Sheet/Safety Data Sheet guidance documents where available. 5.5 All materials supplied to this standard must comply with the requirements of GMW3059, Restricted and Reportable Substances for Parts. 6 Approved Sources Materials supplied to this specification must be approved b

26、y General Motors. A list of approved materials can be found in MATSPC. This GM Material File is provided to third parties to reduce redundant testing of materials. If approved material already listed is used, the part supplier can use GM Material File reference for Production Part Approval Process (

See Appendix A, Figure A1 A1.2 Product (Base Metal) Hardness. The hardness shall be determined at mid radius of a transverse s

35、ection through the threaded portion taken at a distance of one (1) diameter from the end of the product. The preparation of test specimens and the performance of hardness tests shall be in conformity with the requirements of SAE J417 or ASTM E18. A1.2.1 Surface Hardness. Surface hardness of the unth
