2、RUCTURAL, STEEL NOT TO BE USED FOR NEW DESIGN 1. SCOPE The materials defined by this specification are pumpable, one component, thermal curing, weldable, expandable structural adhesives for steel. 2. APPLICATION This specification was released originally for materials used to structurally bond body
3、components such as top rails, rear sills, and cross members to floor pans and inners to outers in a wheel house. This adhesive can be used to bond oily, unclean cold rolled and galvanized steel for body-in white applications. Optimal adhesion strengths and bond durabilities are achieved with adhesiv
4、e bondlines of 0.25 mm and the use of galvanized steel. The material is cured in the electrocoat oven. The Manufacturing Properties and Engineering Performance requirements defined in this specification are based on laboratory sample testing and define the minimum acceptance criteria for adhesive pe
5、rformance. The function and design requirements for the application are defined by the Sub-system Design Specification (SDS), key life test requirements, or vehicle program requirements. Prior to use, the adhesive must be evaluated under the production parameters. The choice of substrates, stamping
6、lubricants, stamping plant processing conditions, 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 3.1 ST
7、ANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2 SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY Initial adhesive approval was based on a specific material system which included the substrate, st
8、amping lubricants and adhesive. The material system was 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 any of these parameters are change
9、d, the adhesive performance must be validated using the new parameters.
