APPLICATION These specifications were released originally for material used for fuse junction panel box assembly, floor console substrate (interior non visible components) and carbon canisters. 2.1 LIMITATIONS This material does not contain UV stabilizers, long term exp
5、osure to direct sunlight will cause chalking and loss of gloss. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 APPROVED SOURCES This specification requires the use of approved sources. Only the sources identified on the Ford Approved Source List (ASL) can be used when this specification is listed on the drawing, CAD file, or
6、other documents. The list of approved sources is located within Ford at or available externally through a Ford Materials Engineer. 3.2 CONDITIONING AND TEST CONDITIONS All test values are based on material conditioned for not less than 24 h prior to testing in a controlled environment of 23 +/- 2 C
7、 and 50 +/- 5% relative humidity. Testing of the material should occur in the conditioning environment or soon after removal.

8、ectra and thermograms from initial material approval shall constitute the reference standard and shall be kept on file at the designated material laboratory. The material supplier shall ensure that all future material supplied to the specification shall produce IR spectra and thermograms that corres
9、pond to the reference standard when tested under the same conditions. 3.4 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS 3.4.1 Many 4D resin specifications prior to 2011, identified certain requirements with the symbol (s), which indicated that the mean and +/- 3 sigma values were to be reported. Th
10、e specification minimum, maximum or range was established using 3 sigma data. For 2011 and beyond, refer to Table 1 for number of samples required for each test. 3.4.2 WSS-M4D731-B1 is based on virgin materials. 3.4.3 WRS-M4D731-B2 This specification must contain 75% of recycled content as defined b
11、y WRS-M99P42-A1. The remaining portion of the material can come from virgin sources. 3.4.4 The use of regrind is permitted, for economic / environmental reasons. Part manufacturers using this specification must complete DV and PV testing with the maximum allowable amount of regrind and the maximum a
12、llowable regrind content must be specified on the engineering drawing. Any changes to what is specified on the drawing (no specific amount implies zero regrind) must be approved by Materials and PD Engineering through the formal Ford Motor Company process (SREA) or Engineering Notice. 3.4.5 Mold-in-
13、color parts using this material must comply with all the requirements of WSS-M15P50-C2/Latest for under hood applications and WSS-M15P4-H/Latest for interior applications. Production level materials must be used in preparing test parts / panels. 3.4.6 Ford Materials Engineering may request a Control
14、 Plan and Certificate of Analysis (C of A) containing lot testing requirements which must include, but are not limited to: Filler Content Impact Strength, Notched Charpy at 23C Flexural Modulus 3.5 SAMPLE PREPARATION Unless otherwise specified all tests shall be carried out on injection molded, one-
15、end gated test specimens. The test specimens A and D shall be molded using molding conditions defined in ISO 19069-2. See Tables 1 and 2 for the number of samples required. Specimens shall be as follows: Specimen A 150 minimum x 10 x 4.0 +/- 0.2 mm (ISO 527-2, Specimen Type 1A) Specimen B 355 x 100
