2、ONDING, WSS-M2G373-C TWO COMPONENT NOT TO BE USED FOR NEW DESIGN 1. SCOPE The materials defined by this specification are pumpable two-component, induction heat responsive structural adhesives with bondline spacers for bonding metal. Full adhesive strengths are attained after an oven cure. The mixed
3、 adhesive is room temperature curing or induction responsive. At 23 C the material has 60 minute open time. The materials defined by this specification can replace materials approved to WSB-M2G373-A and WSS-M2G373-B. 2. APPLICATION This specification was released originally for materials to structur
4、ally bond metal-to-metal body components such as the inner and outer panels (hem flange) of deck lids, doors, and hoods, etc. This adhesive can be used to bond oily, unclean metal substrates. Bondline spacers are added to one of the components to maintain a 0.25 mm bondline thickness during the hemm
5、ing process. The Manufacturing Properties and Engineering Performance requirements defined in this specification are based upon laboratory coupon testing and define the minimum acceptance criteria for adhesive performance. The assembly process and design for the component will determine the specific
6、 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 induction heat or room temperature cure responsive structural adhesives. Reactivity build rat
7、e 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 material oven cure schedules are minimum 171 C metal temperature for 10 minutes and max
8、imum 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 conditions, assembly plant processing conditions and specific design application may affect ad
9、hesive performance. Compliance with this specification does not guarantee the adhesive will function for all potential applications on a vehicle. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirement

13、e plant processes (cleaning operations, phosphating process, welding operations, etc.) and shall not deteriorate the performance of phosphating, electrocoat primer or other materials applications. All bulk mastic, sealer or adhesives packaged in minitotes will be returned to the supplier with some r
14、esidual material in the bottom of the container from the initial fill. The amount of acceptable residual material should not exceed either 1 gallon or 5/8 inches for a 55 gallon container. It is understood that the residual materials will be the base of the next refill and will not affect the qualit
15、y of the refilled certified product and supplier shall demonstrate via testing of retain materials of production lots of materials to support the above. Supplier shall present data to manufacturing and materials engineering prior to approval, as well as data showing compatibility with process aids u
16、sed in mini-tote assembly (i.e. seal lubricants.) No minitote should be refilled with residual material exceeding the above mentioned amount and should be returned to the plant of origin for follower plate removal and container/residual material disposal. The follower plate will be returned to the s
17、upplier after extraction by the plant of origin for insertion into a new drum.
