This standard includes the performance requirements of plastic parts installed directly in an engine environment whereby t

3、he applied mechanical and thermal loads are typical of those experienced in both light and heavy duty over the road automotive applications. The parts may be functional within themselves or they may be a subassembly of, or attached to, metallic, or non-metallic functional parts. Note: Additional req

4、uirements for coated or painted plastic parts (e.g., emblems, painted engine covers) are given in the relevant performance specifications; not by this specification. Note: All materials used in parts or components in contact with the air of the interior compartment must additionally conform to the i

5、nterior requirements as specified in GMW14444, Code E. 1.2 Mission/Theme. This standard provides the standard material performance requirements for engineered plastic parts for use on an engine and/or near the exhaust system. Typical applications on an engine include cam covers, oil pans, front cove

6、r rear covers, etc. This specification is intended to provide functional guidelines that enable/support the manufacturing process and control plan validation. It is not intended to specify validation requirements as they relate to product performance. 1.3 Classification. The operating characteristic

7、s of parts covered by this standard are operating continuous temperature of -40 C up to a maximum continuous temperature according to Table 1. Peak temperatures can exceed the maximum continuous temperature by 20 C. These peaks can make up 60 h in the lifetime of the vehicle. Based on the maximum co

8、ntinuous temperature in installed position on the engine or near the exhaust system, the parts are identified by Class 1 to Class 4 according to Table 1. Unless otherwise specified, all engine mounted components are expected to meet Class 3 environmental requirements with the exception of those loca

9、ted in close proximity to the engine exhaust.

Sampl

21、es of components or material released to this standard shall be tested for conformity with the requirements of this standard and approved by the responsible GM department prior to the start of delivery of production level components or materials. Any change to the component or material, e.g., design

22、, function, properties, manufacturing process and/or location of manufacture requires a new release of the product. It is the sole responsibility of the supplier to provide the customer, unsolicited, with documentation of any change or modification to the product/process, and to apply for a new rele

23、ase. If not otherwise agreed to, the entire verification test shall be repeated and documented by the supplier prior to start of delivery of the modified or changed product.

The components of the assembly must be made from materials which meet the individual material specifications shown on the engineering drawing, in addition to meeting the requirements of this performance specification.

26、 Engineering qualification of an approved source is required for the material specification called out on the part drawing/math data.

27、g as meeting the requirements of this material specification. 4.2 Regrind. The percent regrind allowed per part shall not exceed the numeric value following the suffix RE-symbol. If Home Scrap regrind (scrap that is reused back into the same part) is the only type to be specified for use, the letter

28、s HS should follow the numeric regrind value. The use of regrind must not preclude the part from meeting the other specified characteristics of part performance. Furthermore, in any case, The maximum regrind content shall be limited to the percent that was validated and submitted for Production Part

29、 Approval Process (PPAP). The type of regrind must be of the same material that was validated and submitted for PPAP. The regrind must be clean, dry, and free of contamination. Examples: RE10 = 10% maximum regrind RE20HS = 20% maximum Home Scrap regrind Note: If regrind is to be used, all test parts

30、 must be manufactured with the maximum amount of regrind the supplier intends to use. 4.2.1 When this specification and RE suffix does not appear on the part print, no regrind is approved for use. 4.2.2 Not painted, laminated or plated regrind may be used without the written approval of the GM Mater
