4、h specified minimum yield strength between 180 MPa and 550 MPa and good forming, joining, and painting characteristics. The steel sheet may achieve its final thickness by cold rolling, hot rolling, continuous thin-strip casting, or other means. All requirements of the specific variant are to be met
5、regardless of the final thickness reduction method. Specification WSS-M1P94-A shall be used where pre-coating by the steel supplier is required. All requirements of the specific variant are to be met with or without pre-coating, except as noted in these specifications or as noted as exceptions on th
6、e Engineering Drawing. Ford Motor Company may, at its option and in agreement with the local or regional supplier, define additional and/or restricted technical delivery requirements such as mechanical properties, forming characteristics and surface texture, for a specific grade and/or part. The def

Such alloyed steels, i
11、f subsequently surface treated by a nitrocarburising and/or oxidizing process, risk becoming embrittled due to the formation of ultrafine TiN or other precipitates. Accordingly, special consideration should be given to low carbon steel that contains intentional additions of titanium or other transit
12、ion metals for parts that may be subjected to nitrocarburising and/or oxidizing processes. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). Material s
13、uppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Quality System Requirements. In order for materials to comply with the requirements of the material specification they shall be sourced from suppliers listed in the Ford Motor Company Approved Source List, (ASL). See also paragraph 4.1. 3.2 CH
14、EMICAL COMPOSITION AND MICROSTRUCTURE (ASTM E112, JIS G0320, ISO 4967 / ASTM E45) 3.2.1 Chemical Composition The upper and lower limits of chemical composition of the controlled elements shall be established by the supplier and included in the suppliers Control Plan. Heat and/or check analyses shall
15、 be provided as part of the initial material source approval process in a format suitable for upload into the Ford Material Database. The choice of strengthening mechanism and the method of inclusion control, inclusion shape control, and/or stabilization shall be identified for the specific process
16、path in the suppliers Control Plan. 3.2.2 Microstructure The grain size number shall be established as part of the initial material source approval process and shall be consistent (within 1 unit) throughout the thickness of the sheet. The steel sheet shall be free from internal defects that adversel
17、y affect manufacturing or part functionality. Examples of defects may include: pipe laminations, non-metallic inclusions, segregation, and blowholes. Non-metallic inclusion content shall not exceed a rating of 2.0 for thin and 2.0 for heavy when tested in accordance with ASTM E45 Method D, Plate III
18、, by analysis at 100X. 3.3 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES (ASTM E8M, ASTM E517, EN 10002, ISO 6892, ISO 10113, ISO 10275, SEP 1240, JIS Z2241) For initial approval requirements see paragraph 4.1. Mechanical properties are valid in the longitudinal direction. Certification of ongoing production material shall
19、 be in accordance with regional and/or local requirements. For the determination of mechanical properties, the material cross sectional area shall be defined as that of the steel; contribution of any metallic and/or organic coating to the calculated cross-sectional area used for stress calculations
20、is neglected. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION WSS-M1A367-A11/A50 Copyright 2012, Ford Global Technologies, LLC Page 3 of 8 Yield Strength is defined as lower yield stress or 0.2% proof stress (for materials without marked yield point). ASTM Total Elongation is measured with an ASTM (50 mm) test b
21、ar (ASTM E 8M). EN Total Elongation is measured with an ISO II (80 mm) test bar (EN 10002-1). JIS Total Elongation is measured with a JIS #5 test bar (JIS Z 2201). Plastic Strain Ratio (r-value) is defined for a specific test direction with respect to the rolling direction. It is measured at 20% tot
22、al elongation (or maximum uniform elongation if less than 20%). See ASTM E 517, ISO 10113, or JIS Z 2254. Average Plastic Strain Ratio (ravg) is calculated as a weighted average of the individual r-values, i.e., ( 0o + 90o+ 2 x 45o) / 4 Strain Hardening Exponent (n-value) is measured over the range
23、10-20% strain (or 10% to end of uniform elongation if less than 20%). See ASTM E 646 or ISO 10275. If uniform elongation is less than 12%, n-value shall be reported as nUE= UE (n at uniform elongation equals true strain at uniform elongation.) BHI (Bake Hardening Index)is defined as the increase in
24、lower yield strength due exclusively to the baking portion of the following: Strain 2% in the longitudinal direction, note stress and release load. Bake at 170 (+/- 2) deg C peak metal temperature for 20 (+/- 1) minutes. Determine post-bake yield strength per ASTM E 8M, EN 10002-1, EN 10325, or JIS
25、Z 2241. BHI is the difference between the pre-bake stress at 2% strain and the post-bake yield strength. BHI neglects the contribution of work hardening to yield strength and includes only the contribution due to thermal response. Actual processing conditions (temperature profiles and strain conditi
26、ons) dictate the observed strength levels of individual parts.
