3、. SCOPE These specifications define the minimum performance requirements for a protective finish for chassis and engine components. These parts are generally not top coated at the assembly plant. 2. APPLICATION These specifications were originally released for chassis and engine components that do n
4、ot experience continuous operating temperatures above 121 C (250 F) and which receive a minimal amount of direct ultraviolet exposure. Where temperature exceeds 121 C, a high temperature paint system should be considered. In applications where prolonged exposure to UV light is expected, epoxy resins
5、 should not be used. These specifications are typically used for epoxy based e-coat or powder coatings. These specifications are not intended to limit the coating to any specific material type or process, but instead define the performance of the system. The following components should use the follo

7、N MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2 SUBSTRATE PROPERTIES 3.2.1 Substrate As specified on the Engineering Drawing. Except for Chip Resistance, all requirements of these specifications must
8、be validated with actual production intent components. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION WSS-M2P177-C1/C2/C3 Copyright 2011, Ford Global Technologies, LLC Page 2 of 4 3.2.2 Metal Preparation The surface to be coated must be free from oil, alkaline residues, rust, dirt, moisture and other foreign ma
9、terials. A preliminary shot blasting or pickling operation is required on castings, forgings, and scaled steel. A zinc phosphate pretreatment per WSS-M3P36-A1 is recommended for electrocoated or powder coated components. 3.3 FILM PROPERTIES 3.3.1 Color Black or as specified on the engineering drawin

11、mponent determines which method to use. If both methods are suitable, then Method B is preferred. When using Method A, a minimum of three X-cuts per part is required to increase sampling area. 3.3.4 Film Thickness, min (FLTM BI 117-01, ASTM B 487) Coating thickness must be sufficient to meet all the
12、 performance requirements of these specifications. Minimum coating thickness must be listed on the print and should be based on production intent parts. The type of coating shall also be referenced on the print. Example: E-coat per WSS-M2P177-C2, 20 m min 3.4 RESISTANCE PROPERTIES 3.4.1 Chip Resista

15、7-C2 6 weeks Grade 6 or better WSS-M2P177-C3 9 weeks Grade 6 or better The part must be rated no worse than Grade 6 as defined by ASTM D 610. Parts with sharp edges, recessed areas, rough surfaces, or welds may have reduced corrosion resistance at these locations. Final judgment of corrosion perform
16、ance should be based on visibility of the parts as observed from the rear, engine compartment, or in the wheel wells of the vehicle as described by in Total Vehicle Corrosion Resistance requirement 18-0040. 3.4.3 Water Resistance, min (FLTM BI 104-01, ASTM D714) Immerse samples 240 hours. Allow pain
17、t film to recover 1 h at room temperature after immersion before evaluating. No softening, rust, dulling, color change and/or loss of adhesion. Blistering shall not exceed size 8, few per ASTM D 714. Adhesion shall meet the requirements in sec. 3.3.3 3.4.4 Fluid Resistance (FLTM BI 168-01, Method A,
18、 except measure adhesion per ASTM D3359 as directed in sec 3.3.3. Gasoline, Diesel, Coolant, Engine Oil) The finish shall not blister or show more than slight softening or dulling. Adhesion shall meet the requirements in sec. 3.3.3. 4. GENERAL INFORMATION The information given below is provided for
19、clarification and assistance in meeting the requirements of these specifications. Contact for questions concerning Engineering Material Specifications 4.1 SURFACE PREPARATION For initial DV or PV evaluations, descaled parts may be rated according to ASTM D 2200 method B. The SSPC BSP rating achieve
20、d on the design intent parts should appear in the control plan to indicate the level of cleaning. Example: Descale cleaning level SSPC BSP 10 or better. 4.2 GLOSS (FLTM BI 110-01) The recommended gloss level for chassis components visible with “wheels on ground“ is 30 to 80 at 60 angle.

27、a Note: This specification cannot prove out parts or coatings that involve changes in vehicle environment such as increased stone chipping or increased temperature. These changes may require vehicle testing, consult SDS/ARL requirements. 5. SUMMARY OF REVISIONS 2010 05 25 Replaced DV PV test table with recommended test table with examples. Cyclic corrosion changed from 3 to 4 weeks and 12 to 9 weeks for correlation to R-343. 2011 09 19 Specified adhesion method for Fluid Resistance to avoid confusion.
