10、ormance. The assembly process and design for the component will determine the specific adhesive processing parameters for each assembly line. The component engineering performance requirements are defined by the component SDS (Sub-system Design Specification). The materials are two component inducti
11、on heat or room temperature cure responsive structural adhesives. Reactivity build rate of the adhesive to generate required component handling strengths for manufacturing is a function of the assembly line processing conditions. Full adhesive strengths are attained after an oven cure. Recommended m
12、aterial oven cure schedules are minimum 171 C metal temperature for 10 minutes and maximum 205 C metal temperature for 30 minutes. Prior to use, the adhesive must be evaluated under the component production parameters. The choice of substrates, stamping lubricants, stamping plant processing conditio
13、ns, assembly plant processing conditions and specific design application may affect adhesive performance. Compliance with this specification does not guarantee the adhesive will function for all potential applications on a vehicle. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.0 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS M
14、aterial suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.4 SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY Initial adhesive approval was based on a specific material system which included the substrate, stamping lubricants and adhesive. The originally
15、 approved material system was induction heated or room temperature cured followed by an oven cured using specific production process parameters. Substrate choice, stamping lubricants, stamping plant processing conditions and assembly plant processing conditions may affect adhesive performance. If an
16、y of these parameters are changed, the adhesive performance must be validated using the new parameters. 3.5 MATERIAL PROPERTIES 3.5.1 Weight Per Volume +/- 0.06 kg/L (ASTM D 816) The weight tolerance for any one supplier shall be +/- 0.06 kg/L, based on the recorded weight of their original approved
