COATINGS, STEEL SHEET WSS-M1P94-A

1. SCOPE

This specification defines the requirements for coil coatings on steel sheet. These coatings comprise 4
categories:

. Zinc Based Metallic (i.e. Zinc, Zinc/Iron, Zinc/Nickel and other Zinc/Alloy)
. Other Metallic (i.e. Nickel, Tin)
. Organic (i.e. Zinc Rich Primer)
. Phosphate (Upon request from the Stamping Plant to the responsible
Materials Engineering Activity, there is the option of using prephosphated material to aid formability).

Such coatings shall be specified in conjunction with the appropriate base steel sheet. The currently
released base steel specifications are:

2. APPLICATION

This specification was released originally for material used for automobile body and chassis parts
requiring good corrosion resistance. The category of Other Metallic Coatings was incorporated
originally for fuel systems parts requiring good corrosion resistance.

Note: Good quality paintability depends upon the critical factors of chemical cleanliness and
crystalline integrity of the phosphate coating. Accordingly, prudence should be exercised when
considering a pre-phosphate coating on exterior facing surfaces e.g. skin panels.

Note: The presence of a coating will influence the properties of the final coated product, compared to
the uncoated base steel sheet.

Note: Rinses used during the coating process must be hexavalent chromium free.

*ASTM A 90 should be suitably modified to allow coating mass determinations on
individual sides.

**Where these tolerances cannot be met, exceptions must be approved by the
responsible activity. Differentially coated products and higher strength coated
products generally have greater coating mass ranges than those stated.

3.5.2 Coating Composition (Electrolytic)

Unless an alloy coating is chosen, the primary deposit shall be Zinc. Electrolytic
Zinc/Nickel shall contain 10.5 - 13.5% Nickel. Electrolytic Zinc/Iron shall contain 12 -
18% Iron. The frequency of testing and the analytical method shall form part of the
control plan.

3.5.3 Coating Composition (Hot Dipped)

Unless an alloy coating is chosen, the primary deposit shall be Zinc. The frequency of
testing and the analytical method shall form part of the control plan (see also para
4.3).

3.5.4 Supplementary Coatings

Unless otherwise stated (see para 3.7 and 3.8), no supplementary coatings (other
than a company approved mill oil (rust preventative oil) or prelube) are permitted.

3.5.5 Coating Adhesion
(ASTM A 924M/ASTM A 591)

Coated steel shall conform to the coating bend test requirements of ASTM A 924M for
hot dipped and ASTM A 591 for electrolytic coated products. The frequency of testing
shall form part of the control plan.

3.5.5.1 Coating Bend Test
(ASTM A 924M/ASTM A591)

Coated Steel shall conform to the coating bend test requirements of
ASTM A 924M for hot dipped and ASTM A 591 for electrolytic coated
products. The frequency of testing shall form part of the control plan.

3.5.5.2 Adhesive Shear Test
(SAE J1523 or ISO 4587)
For All Coating Types

At a frequency to be negotiated with Materials Engineering (as part of the
Source Approval Process) and incorporated into the control plan, the
following:

When tested according to SAE J1523 or ISO 4587 (0.8 mm. thickness
specimen; additional bonding thickness of 0.25 mm.) using a high
strength structural epoxy adhesive such as WSB-M2G388-A (1k) or
WSB-M2G373-A (2k), the coating (ie. zinc or zinc/alloy) shall remain
adherent to the steel substrate up to a minimum shear strength
requirement of 8 MPa.

The supplier shall have the option to seek or decline approval to
paragraph 3.5.5.2. If approval to paragraph 3.5.5.2 is declined, no
material shall be supplied for adhesive bonding applications, as defined

WSS-M1P94-A

by the relevant Engineering Drawings. The entry on the ASL (Approved
Source List) shall reflect this.

For relevant Engineering Drawings, component engineers are
recommended not to specify a minimum shear strength requirement
lower than 8 MPa.

3.5.6 Coating Wraparound and Edge Condition

For one side coated products, traces of coating are allowed on the uncoated side of
the sheet from the edges to 15 mm from coil edges. No coating is allowed on the
remainder of the uncoated side.

The amount of coating on the strip edge shall be no greater than the maximum
stipulated in para 3.5.1 and of sufficient adhesion to prevent flaking during the
manufacturing process.

3.5.7 Coating Appearance

For hot dipped products, the coating shall be minimum spangle and when viewed at
1X the individual zinc crystals shall be no longer than 5 mm across the maximum
dimension. The need for a final temper mill reduction to control surface appearance
or formability is to be negotiated between the manufacturing activity and the coater.

The coating shall have a workmanlike appearance and shall not have defects of a
nature or degree for the grade and quality ordered that will be detrimental to the
fabrication of the finished part. The need for a final temper mill reduction to control
surface appearance or formability is to be negotiated between the manufacturing
activity and the coater.

Between the appropriate Base Steel Sheet and the Zinc Rich Primer layer shall be a
Zinc Based Metallic layer, usually Electrolytic Zinc/Nickel.

4. GENERAL INFORMATION

The information given below is provided for clarification and assistance in meeting the requirements of
this specification. Contact gmfs@ford.com for questions concerning Engineering Material
Specifications.

4.1 DOCUMENT ORIGIN

This document was modified in 1999 and subsequently, as a collaborative effort between Ford
Motor Company, Mazda (Mazda Motor Corporation) and Jaguar (Jaguar Cars), part of PAG
(PAG is Premier Automotive Group).

4.2 ENGINEERING SOURCE APPROVAL BY FORD

The Engineering Approved sources for coatings will be listed against the appropriate Base Steel
Sheet Engineering Material Specifications.

4.3 INITIAL SUPPLIER APPROVAL BY FORD

For initial approval, the supplier should furnish the following information for each coating
designation/coating line combination.

. A plan detailing how each requirements of para 3 will be controlled on a continuing
production basis.

WSS-M1P94-A

. Test results from a typical production sample for the requirements outlined in para 3.

. Test results from typical production samples for paintability requirements outlined in para 3.4.

. Typical coating chemical analysis. For products coated by Hot Dipping, coating composition
should be determined by analysis of samples taken from the molten bath. For
Electrodeposited coatings, composition should be as deposited.

. Coating mass histogram including mean and standard deviation values. Data should consist
of a minimum of 500 mass measurements randomly taken from each side of a minimum of
20 coils while the process is operating in statistical control.

Upon approval, the material will be added to the Engineering Material Approved Source List
(see para 4.2).

4.4 COATING COMPOSITION (HOT DIPPED)

Hot Dipped Zinc and Hot Dipped Zinc/Iron usually contain Aluminum to aid adhesion of the
coating to the base steel. The proportion of Aluminum in the coating varies with coating thickness
but rarely exceeds 1%. Additionally, Hot Dipped Zinc/Iron usually contains 8 - 12% Iron.

4.5 COATING THICKNESS

If it is desired to estimate the thickness of the coating from the coating mass, the following factors
(per side) shall be used:

. Zinc (Hot Dipped or Electrolytic) 7.14 g/m
