SCOPE The materials defined by these specifications are corrosion protective coatings over steel that are heat converted from an aqueous dispersio
5、n of zinc and aluminum flakes, and oxides. These coatings are top-coated with sealers or topcoats to provide lubricity for consistent torque-tension control and to enhance corrosion protection. In both liquid and dry film, they are free of chromium, nickel, lead, and cadmium. 2. APPLICATION These sp
6、ecifications were released originally as a water based corrosion protection coating for suspension and steering heat treated/hardened ball joint studs where sacrificial corrosion protection, galvanic corrosion protection, controlled coating thickness (thread fill) and controlled coefficient of frict
7、ion (rubber seal) are important considerations. The pretreatment and coating process shall not induce conditions resulting in hydrogen embrittlement, temper embrittlement or loss of mechanical properties. These coatings will provide good bimetallic corrosion resistance when in contact with aluminum.
8、 They should not be applied to parts in contact with uncoated copper, magnesium or stainless steel. 2.1 LIMITATIONS A4/A5/A6 Cure temperature must be in the range of 245-265C. A7/A8/A9 Coating parts with hardnesses higher than Property Class 10.9 is not allowed. Coating case hardened parts may tempe
9、r the case hardness. The case hardness loss should be measured and reviewed by Ford Product Engineering prior to application.

10、TION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2 APPEARANCE The coating shall be uniform in color, roughness, and free from discontinuities. 3.3 CORROSION TESTING (ASTM B 117, CETP 00.00-L-467, ASTM
11、 D 610) 3.3.1 Parts shall pass the number of salt spray hours / cyclic corrosion weeks per Table 1. 3.3.2 Parts shall show no single ferrous corrosion spot larger than 1.5 mm in diameter or exceed ASTM D 610, grade 8. 3.4 COATING THICKNESS AND COATING WEIGHT (MASS) (ASTM B 568/ISO 3497, ASTM B 499/I
12、SO 2178) The coating thickness and minimum coating weight are given in Table 1. The coating thickness can be measured on flat surfaces using a magnetic induction thickness instrument (ASTM B 499/ISO 2178) or by calibrated X-ray florescence spectroscopy (ASTM B 568/ISO 3497), and should be based on a
13、n average of at least ten measurements. Alternatively, the thickness of the basecoat can be determined using a weight-strip-weigh method. Details of this method are available from the coating manufacturer. 3.5 THREAD ACCEPTANCE REQUIREMENTS (WA900, WE900, WX100) For thread acceptance requirements se
14、e Ford Worldwide Fastener Standards WA900, WE900 and WX100. 3.6 CLEANING (SAE J444) Prior to coating, the parts shall be free of oil, scale, oxides and foreign materials. The cleaning process shall have no detrimental effect on the substrate, including freedom from embrittlement. All heat treated or
15、 threaded parts must be alkaline degreased. Alternative cleaning techniques, such as alkaline cleaning followed by a phosphate may be used. Dry honing (glass bead) may be required for some parts. Exception must be noted in the applicators control plans and approved by the coating manufacturer and en
16、d user. 3.7 ADHESION The coating shall withstand normal handling, storage, and installation without flaking or peeling or other loss of adhesion.

17、) The coating shall meet the required torque and friction coefficient specified in Table 1. 3.9 COATING SURFACE ROUGHNESS The coating surface roughness (Rz) shall be specified on the engineering drawing. 3.10 MEK RUB CURE TEST The coating shall withstand ten double rubs with moderate pressure using
18、cheesecloth saturated with methyl ethyl ketone. Slight dulling and/or color transfer of the coating is permitted. 4.
