2、 1. SCOPE This specification defines the adhesive/polymer material performance requirements for cavity reinforcing heat curing, engineered parts applied in the body shop. These parts are used to improve localized joint stiffness and torsional rigidity. 2. APPLICATION The specification was originally
3、 released for the adhesive/polymer in engineered parts applied to oily metal in the body shop and cured in the electrocoat oven. The parts are used to improve localized joint stiffness and torsional rigidity in applications such as window frame, pillar to roof, pillar to rocker, rocker and rail sect
4、ions. These engineered parts are not intended to be used for skin panel stiffening or oil canning. Special consideration is required when evaluating the use of these engineered parts in crash or crush sensitive locations. Sensitivity studies should be conducted since the material properties can chan
5、ge with temperature and environmental aging. The engineered parts are supplied with an adhesive/polymer as a drop-in part or attached to a carrier. The adhesive/polymer on drop-in parts may be supplied in a pressure sensitive/tacky version or non-tacky version with attachments. On parts supplied wit
6、h a carrier, the carrier may be a thin metal foil, metal backing plate, nylon or other specified carrier material. The adhesive/polymer cures at electrocoat oven temperatures. Material cure is critical to long term material performance. It is recommended that time/temperature data packs be placed on
7、 a vehicle in the intended locations to determine the time at temperature requirements for a given application prior to release. The on-vehicle material time at electrocoat oven temperatures must fall within the cure window for the approved material. After release, periodic follow-up time/temperatur
8、e checks are recommended to insure cure performance is maintained. The Manufacturing Properties and Engineering Performance requirements defined in this specification is based on laboratory sample testing and defines the minimum acceptance criteria for adhesive/polymer material performance. The func
9、tion and design requirements for the engineered part are defined by the component SDS (Sub-system Design Specification), key life test requirements, or vehicle program requirements. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION WSS-M99P33-A Page 2 of 17 Copyright 2002, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. Prior to u
10、se, the engineered part must be evaluated under the intended application processing parameters. The choice of substrates, stamping lubricants, stamping and assembly plant processing conditions and specific design application may affect engineered part performance. Compliance with this specification
11、does not guarantee the engineered part 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 Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2
12、 SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY Initial material approval was based on a specific material system which included the substrate, stamping lubricants and adhesive/polymer. The originally approved material system was oven cured using specific production process parameters. The choice of substrates, stamping lubr
13、icants, stamping and assembly plant processing conditions and specific design application may affect adhesive/polymer/engineered part performance. If any of these parameters are changed, the material performance must be validated using the new parameters. 3.3 ENGINEERED PART The dimensions and const
