APPLICATION Thi
3、s material is primarily intended for use as a hydraulic fluid in passenger and light commercial vehicle brake systems. 3. REQUIREMENTS Material specification requirements are to be used for initial qualification of materials. 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and
4、part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2 QUALIFICATION PROCEDURE 3.2.1 Qualification The Materials Engineering activity reserves the right to subject materials submitted against this specification, to any additional investigatio
5、n they may consider necessary and use the data derived for approval qualification. 3.2.2 Verification The affected Materials Engineering activity reserves the right to conduct verification testing. If the test results do not support the originally submitted data, the supplier must re-test the produc
6、t in coordination with the affected Materials Engineering activity. This re-test must be conducted and certified by a mutually agreed upon test facility. 3.2.3 Documentation Supplier must furnish to the affected Materials Engineering activity a completed and certified copy of the attached Supplement
7、 A and test reports demonstrating full compliance with all the requirements of this specification. All tests must be certified by a qualified and authorized representative of the test facility.

16、NERAL INFORMATION The information given below is provided for clarification and assistance in meeting the requirements of this specification. 4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL The supplier shall divulge to the company, the identity or nature of any ingredient or constituent of their products which is capabl
17、e of causing pollution of water, air or soil, and/or which is subject to special notification or control under the laws or regulations in force at the locations in which it is to be used or disposed. In addition, the supplier shall, in appropriate cases, make available to the company, details of tre
18、atment methods that will enable used or surplus material to be broken down satisfactorily for disposal through effluent plants. 4.2 HEALTH AND SAFETY This material is potentially harmful unless handled properly. To ensure that appropriate precautions are taken, plant medical and safety units shall b
19、e advised of its intended use in the plant. Areas where this material is to be stored and used shall be clearly marked by signs in accordance with Manufacturing Standards U-SN001. 4.3 DISPENSING Care should be exercised when dispensing this material. Brake fluids damage vehicle body paint and certai
20、n plastics. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION ESD-M6C57-A Printed copies are uncontrolled Copyright 2008, Ford Global Technologies, LLC Page 4 of 7 APPENDIX A GRAPHITE CORROSION TEST Two shortened SAE cast iron strips are prepared in accordance with SAE J1703. Powdered graphite is applied to the up
21、per surface of the prepared strips to occupy the central area. (Approximately 8 mm x 30 mm to depth of 3 mm). The strips are carefully placed in the test jars (approximately 84 mm OD x 74 mm high) containing 75 ml of the test fluid, (ie fluid under test +5% water +50 ppm chloride derived from NaCl)
22、and the test jars closed with a mild steel lid (without insert pad). The test jars are placed in an oven at 70 2 C for 168 hours (7 days). At the end of the test period each strip is removed, washed in 95% ethanol to remove the graphite, wiped clean and examined for sings of etching or corrosion pit
23、ting under the graphite layer. Any etching, roughening or pitting visible to the naked eye shall constitute a failure. Details of suitable powdered graphite can be obtained from the Materials Laboratory 13/100, Laindon, Basildon, Essex SS15 6EE. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION ESD-M6C57-A Printed
