Description / Abstract:
This specification details the general material performance,
paint layering compatibility, and processing requirements for GM
worldwide approval of zinc phosphate conversion coatings.
Material Description. Materials qualified to
this standard shall meet the performance shown in Table A1,
Appendix A. Any material development issues, such as chemical or
performance values that fall outside specified ranges, must be
discussed with the appropriate GM Materials Engineer for
resolution. Material must successfully complete a production trial
in a target facility prior to release for general use.
Symbols. Not applicable.
Applicability. This specification applies to
zinc phosphate conversion coating materials that are intended for
use on automotive vehicles and associated components. These
coatings must provide a crystalline, corrosion-resistant, paint
adhesion promoting surface to the substrates shown in Table 1.
Additional substrates may be required by the GM Engineer
facilitating the approval testing.
