SCOPE This specification defines the performance requirements for metalized surfaces of reflective lighting components. This coating system involves vapor deposition of metal in a vacuum, with an associated b

3、asecoat and topcoat, as required. 2. APPLICATION This specification was released originally for the coatings used on reflector parabolas of exterior lighting. Two levels of types of substrates are defined as follows: WSS-M5P8-B1 Plastic WSS-M5P8-B2 Metal Specific substrate and coatings (basecoat, me

4、tal, topcoat), the coating thicknesses, and respective cure schedules are to be determined by the Process Window DOE (Per Para 4.1) and specified on the Engineering Drawing or applicable Engineering Material Specification. 2.1 LIMITATIONS Coating systems described within are not to be used for first

5、 surface exterior applications. Flaming of the substrate may cause metallization performance failures. 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)

6、. 3.2 FINISHED PARTS Tests shall be performed on actual components processed through the production process. PSW must be performed on parts, not plaques.

GENERAL INFORMATION This information given below is provided for clarification and assistance in meeting the requirements of this specification. Contact for questions concerning Engineering Material Specifications 4.1 PROCESS WIN

16、DOW DEFINITION The supplier shall perform a Design of Experiments to determine the process window of the substrate/coatings combination. The three variables/parameters for paint layers to be included in the design are cure temperature, cure time, and film thickness. An initial screening experiment s

17、hould be run to determine what levels should be tested for the variables/parameters. This screening experiment should be reviewed with the materials engineer to set up the final DOE. Responses for the DOE shall include, but are not limited to, the following: Initial Adhesion, Para 3.4 Water Resistan

18、ce, Para 3.5.3 ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION WSS-M5P8-B1/B2 Copyright 2012, Ford Global Technologies, LLC Page 4 of 5 4.2 MOLDED PARTS Parts shall be metalized as soon after molding as possible. The surface shall be free from dirt, lint, mold release agents or any other contaminants. If using B

19、MC, parts must have all flash removed prior to metalizing to minimize errant debris from subsequent manufacturing operations (bulb and bulb shield insertion). Plastic parts intended for metalizing by this specification must be molded in keeping with the best commercial practice to achieve stress-fre

20、e parts and ensure good metallization. Molded-in stresses can result in part failure by loss of adhesion and / or cracking of the substrate and / or metallization. If parts show cracking, crazing, or checking when tested to Section 3.5, they must be stress relieved according to a cycle agreed upon b

21、y the supplier and the responsible product engineering office. 4.3 BASECOAT USAGE Cast aluminum and BMC reflectors require basecoat prior to metallization to achieve reflectivity sufficient to pass photometry in the end item otherwise basecoats should be avoided unless mutually agreed upon between P

22、roduct Development and Materials Engineering. 4.4 DESIGN These coatings are impacted by part geometry. Cavities which are more than twice as deep as the narrowest dimension of the projected optic cavity of the part are to be avoided. This effect is made worse by the presence of sharp corners of the

23、metalized parts. BMC reflector tools must optimize fill and gate designs to minimize flash and parting lines in areas where additional manufacturing processes will occur. Mounting bosses shall utilize reinforcement ribs and gussets where acute angles to reflector parabola are unavoidable. 4.5 SYSTEM

24、 COMPONENTS 4.5.1 Substrate Substrate material will be dictated by the performance requirements of the assembled end item. 4.5.2 Basecoat (if required) This application only applies to substrates that cant meet reflectance standards without an additional seal coat (BMC, cast aluminum, etc.). 4.5.3 M

25、etalize Metal coating shall be applied by evaporation or sputter in a vacuum. Processing conditions will be determined for film thickness, opacity and luster desired. 4.5.4 Topcoat Clear top coat must be applied over the metalized surface.
