SCOPE The materials defined by these specifications are for direct
3、cast, 6000 series aluminum sheet with enhanced temper response. 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 pretreatment, fo
4、r a specific grade and/or part. The defined requirements shall be mandatory and no characteristics shall conflict with these engineering specifications. 2. APPLICATION These global specifications were released originally for stamped automotive body parts. 2.1 LIMITATIONS The yield strength of the ma
5、terial in the part after the paint baking process is a function of the amount of forming deformation and the time-temperature profile during the paint baking process. The mechanical property values shown in Table 2 apply only to the listed condition; individual parts will have different properties,
6、depending on specific processing in the vehicle manufacturing plants. 2.2 DEFINITIONS Variant A1 is an enhanced hemming alloy, typically applied to outer body panels (Class 1) that require small hem radii. Variant A2 is an enhanced bake response alloy of less than 1.1 mm gage thickness, typically ap
7、plied to outer body panels (Class 1) that require good formability and improved dent and ding behavior. Variant A3 is an enhanced bake response alloy of greater than or equal 1.1 mm gage thickness, typically applied to outer body panels (Class 1) that require good formability and improved dent and d
8、ing behavior, but without hemming requirements. 3.
