SCOPE These specifications define performance

3、requirements for finished coatings of electrodeposited copper, nickel, and chromium for the decoration and protection of copper and copper alloy (e.g., brass) surfaces. 2. APPLICATION These specifications were released originally where a bright or low gloss decorative and protective metallic finish

4、is required on copper and copper alloy surfaces. Two levels of performance are defined as follows: WSB-M1P80-B1 Interior part applications. WSB-M1P80-B2 Exterior part applications. CAUTION Based upon field survey and accelerated laboratory testing experience, plated parts with designs that are not i

5、n conformance with the Corporate Plated Part Design Restrictions Booklet (see para 5.1) will not be capable of consistently meeting the requirements of these specifications on a production basis without the use of extraordinary processing techniques, e.g., use of auxiliary anodes, reduction in the p

6、arts per rack ratio, etc. FEASIBILITY If the requirements of this specification cannot be met due to part design restrictions, the supplier will inform the responsible product engineering office. 3. REQUIREMENTS All requirements identified for each specification must be met to achieve acceptable fie

7、ld durability. No one requirement, exclusive of others, is capable of insuring satisfactory performance. Any deviations to the requirements of these specifications may be subject to additional performance requirements. All part testing requirements apply to those areas of the part identified as a si

8、gnificant surface per para 5.2 unless otherwise specified on the engineering drawing. 3.0 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A).

9、ION WSB-M1P80-B1/B2 Copyright 2015, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. Page 2 of 5 3.1 STATISTICAL PROCESS The following characteristics shall form part of the Control Plan but shall in no way preclude the control of additional characteristics deemed significant by the supplier and/or Ford SQA. Signific

10、ant Characteristics (See requirement values within the body of these specifications) . Plating Thickness . Plating Ductility . Microporosity . S.T.E.P. Potential . Sulphur Content 3.2 APPEARANCE All parts shall have the finish (bright, low gloss or paint overlay) specified on the engineering drawing

11、. The plated parts shall be free from surface imperfections. Low gloss or black parts shall match the approved Styling master sample for appearance. 3.2.1 Buffing of Plating Because of the potential adverse effect on corrosion resistance, buffing of final chromium plating on exterior parts is not pe

12、rmitted. Buffing or other approved mechanical treatment on the copper and nickel coatings are permitted provided that minimum plating thickness requirements are met after treatment. 3.3 PLATING ADHESION (ASTM B 571) Adhesion of the electroplate to the base metal and between layers of plating must co

13、nform to the requirements of the following test methods per ASTM B 571 unless otherwise indicated: 3.3.1 Bend Tests (Bend the part or sections of the part) No peeling, flaking, or lift-off of the electroplate from the substrate or from underlying layers of the electroplate is permitted following the

14、 bend tests. 3.3.2 Grind-Saw Test No lifting or peeling of the electroplate from the substrate or from underlying layers of the electroplate is permitted following the grind-saw test.

15、CTILITY (ASTM B 490) Although this is considered a portion of the process control and not a requirement of part performance, the ductility of the electrodeposit on a finished part is considered acceptable when foils plated in the individual nickel baths meet or exceed the following values: Semi-brig

16、ht Nickel 80% Bright Nickel 20% 3.5 PLATING THICKNESS (ASTM B 487, ASTM B 556) It is the suppliers responsibility to identify the plating thickness distribution for each unique part design and rack design by mapping the plating racks and plated parts and to employ any special processing techniques,

17、e.g., the use of auxiliary anodes and/or shields, reducing the number of parts per rack etc., which may be required to consistently meet the specified minimum plating thicknesses on all significant surfaces. The optical measurement of copper and nickel deposits on significant surfaces shall be consi

18、dered the standard thickness test method (ASTM B 487). The chromium plate thickness on significant surfaces shall be checked by the spot test as described in ASTM B 556 or by the Coulometric method, ASTM B-504. In case of difference, ASTM B 504 shall be the umpire method. The plating thickness requi

19、rements identified below represent minimum values in micrometers and apply to all areas of significant surfaces. WSB-M1P80 B1 B2 Application Interior Exterior Acid Copper 10 10 Semi-bright Nickel (a) - 20 Bright Nickel (b) plus Special 10 10 Nickel (c) or Low Gloss Nickel (d) Total Nickel (e) 10 30

20、Microporous Chromium (f) - 0.25 Regular Chromium 0.25 - (a) The sulphur content in the semi-bright nickel bath shall be less than 0.005% (weight %). The sulphur content is specified to indicate the type of nickel plating solution that is to be used and may be measured per the test procedures identif

21、ied in ASTM B 456. In-process testing to determine conformance to the sulphur content requirement is essential to establish and maintain process capability and control. (b) The sulphur content in the bright nickel bath shall be greater than 0.04% (weight %). The sulphur content is specified to indic

22、ate the type of nickel plating solution that is to be used and may be measured per the test procedures identified in ASTM B 456. In-process testing to determine conformance to the sulphur content requirement is essential to establish and maintain process capability and control. ENGINEERING MATERIAL

23、SPECIFICATION WSB-M1P80-B1/B2 Copyright 2015, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. Page 4 of 5 (c) If a special nickel is employed to produce discontinuities in the chromium deposit, the thickness of the special nickel shall be added to the measurement of the bright nickel deposit to meet the combined bri

24、ght nickel plus special nickel minimum thickness requirement. If a special nickel layer is not used, the minimum thickness requirement applies only to the bright nickel deposit. (d) Low gloss nickel may be produced by one of the following methods: Co-deposit containing inorganic particles insoluble

25、in the plating bath. Soluble addition agents co-deposited with the nickel. Mechanical treatment of a bright nickel deposit, e.g., brushing or bead blasting. When low gloss nickel is specified, special nickel need not be applied. (e) The semi-bright nickel thickness shall be greater than or equal to

26、60% of the total nickel thickness. The bright nickel thickness shall be less than or equal to 40% of the total nickel thickness. (f) Microporous chromium plating systems acceptable under this specification are defined as those being capable of producing microporosity in conformance with para 3.6. 3.

Sc

28、rubbing, abrasive cleaning, or polishing is not permitted. Parts are then examined for corrosion defects. Following CASS exposure for the appropriate duration as specified, failure is to be noted as follows: . Any evidence of base metal corrosion deposits or blisters on significant surfaces shall co

29、nstitute failure of the part. . Any pit larger than 1.5 mm in diameter visible on any significant surface shall be considered failure of the part.
