1、 WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING STANDARDS Test Procedure GMW14124 Automotive Environmental Cycles Copyright 2012 General Motors Company All Rights Reserved July 2012 Originating Department: North American Engineering Standards Page 1 of 13 1 Scope Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and

2、 regulations. Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 1.1 Purpose. This procedure documents various environmental cycles and aging conditions that may be performed prior to testing or as a complete test. This specification

3、 does not include standard conditions for testing or preconditioning prior to testing. Those requirements may either be found in the material specification or in GMW3221. 1.2 Foreword. This procedure documents several cycles that have been globally agreed upon for material specifications. Only those

4、 cycles shall be selected to create requirements for GMW material specifications. The globally agreed upon cycles for material specifications are: Cycles M, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W. For test cycle uses, see 4.1.2. 1.3 Applicability. Refer to Table 1 for applicability. Note: Some of the test cycles in

5、 this specification are best used as a quality control test and are not meant to validate potential field performance. See the platform materials engineer for additional details. 2 References Note: Only the latest approved standards are applicable unless otherwise specified. 2.1 External Standards/S

13、t provides various aging conditions and cycles that may be referenced from other specifications. These cycles shall be performed as required in the applicable specification. Some aging cycles may require that the material be tested at the temperature specified. When this procedure is referenced, alw

14、ays follow all applicable instructions for cycles, combinations of cycles, or aging and cycle combinations from the source document. 4.1 Preparation. 4.1.1 Cut the required number of specimens from the sample to the dimensions specified in the material specification. Note: The material specification

15、 may require specimens that have been exposed to cycling or aging be conditioned for a minimum of 24 h to the requirements of GMW3221 prior to testing. Note: Gloves shall be worn while handling specimens in the cold chamber to prevent heat transfer to the specimens. If testing is not done in a cold

16、room, it must be done in a cold chamber using port holes. Testing in a cold chamber with the door open will not maintain the required temperature. 4.1.2 Test Cycle and Applicability.
