1 PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to define the anti-corrosion requirements to protect the metallic parts and
assemblies against ambient aggression with an anti-corrosion coding defined in the functional drawing of the
part or in the RFQ specifications.

The required tests in the specifications are performed on complete parts, or on assemblies. During
the corrosion test, the sampling and the positioning of the part or the assembly must enable protection
against corrosion. It may be necessary to test several parts in order to validate different zones of the part.

These specifications only pertain to cosmetic corrosion. They do not pertain to functionality problems
linked to corrosion. They must be processed by part specifications that include all the thermal, mechanical
requirements, etc.

Summary:
- To ensure the durability of a part, the design rules must be respected : orientation of the edges not visible
by the customer, no water retention, limitation of galvanic couplings, etc.

- The compliance of the materials (chemical composition, processing method, final appearance,
mechanical resistance, etc.) is managed by the part specifications.
- Painting appearance criteria are managed by the part specifications.

Limitations:
This document must not be used:
- For parts assembled on the body before phosphate coating/cataphoresis stage (e.g. the hinges).

- For the engine sub-frame, the brake rotors (brake disks, drum), the exhaust parts. Refer to the part
specifications.

- For parts that can be replaced for vehicle maintenance: oil filter, petrol or diesel filter, front and rear
windshield wiper blade, plates. Refer to the part specifications.

- For parts consisting of electrical or electronic (Battery, Machine, ECU, etc.) components that are managed
by 36-00-802, 36-05-019, 36-05-211, 36-05-218 specifications and that involve any functional aspect. In
case of doubt of a part with electrical purpose, contact the concerned department.

- For fasteners “repetitive multi-users parts” (RMU). Refer to the standard 01-71-002 which will details the
technical requirement linked to the assembly and the coefficients of friction. For the fasteners with phosphate
coating, refer to the standard 01-72-001.

- For the hot-galvanised parts (thickness> 40µm), refer to the standard NF EN ISO 1461.

- For permanent contacts with the automotive liquids, for example: cooling liquid present inside the
radiators, etc.. Contact the fluids team of DEA-TC-PT Renault.

- For parts made of polymeric substrate covered with a single or multiple layer of metal plating, contact DEA-
TC-P

- For the bonnet joints and hinges. Refer to the standard 01-70-007.

- For parts made up of stainless steel subjected to temperature greater than or equal to 300°C. Refer to the
part specifications.

Note: In case of doubt on any of these limitations mentioned above or in other cases (parts made up of
magnesium, parts assembled before cataphoresis, etc.), contatc the Renault Coating team DEA-TC-MC.

6 CORROSION TESTS TO BE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF PROTECTION AND ANTI-


CORROSION CODING

6.1 SUPPLIER PROCEDURE BY COMPARISON WITH THIS DOCUMENT

To determine the corrosion test(s) and requirements associated:

- It is required to ensure the presence of anti-corrosion coding of the part.

- Is it a single part with a single coding, or a set of parts and/or coding?

- For a single part, what is the substrate? (Iron, Aluminium)

- For a single part, is there any or no coating? If yes, then what type? (painting, metallic coating, etc.) and
what is the thickness?

6.2 CORROSION TEST TO BE PERFORMED ON A SINGLE PART

Organic layer > 5µm Decorative


applied on a ferrous, aluminium, metallic coating
Metallic coatings anodised aluminium, ZAMAC, of Cr/Ni/Cu and
magnesium, or stainless steel anodised
substrate aluminium.

Perform a Salt Spray Test, Perform an ECC1 test, Perform a CASS-Test,


based on D17-1058 based on D17-2028 based on D23-1001

Note: The tests are performed on single parts (e.g. a screw) or on the assemblies (e.g. door lock). Refer to the
Corrosion validation file 01-70-003 for the number of parts or assemblies to be tested simultaneously.

The durations of the test and the requirements are stated in § 7.

6.3 CORROSION TEST TO BE PERFORMED ON AN ASSEMBLY (MULTI-PARTS)


In addition to the tests performed on each of the part considered separately (refer to chapter 6.2), an ECC1 test
must be carried out on the assembly to evaluate the resistance of the interfaces to corrosion (runnings, joint
periphery, bimetallic and galvanic coupling).

Note: The codded parts Z2 face the risk of galvanic corrosion, it is mandatory to test them assembled to evaluate
the risk:
- Bimetallic corrosion (2 metals electrically connected to different electrical potentials).
- Galvanic corrosion, e.g. for the joints in contact with a metallic material or another paint.

The duration of the test and the requirements are stated in § 7.7.

6.4 SCRATCHES ON PAINTED PART SAMPLE OF PART


The organic layer (greater than 5 microns) must be scratched on full-panel before the corrosion test (except for the
cast iron).

© RENAULT 2015 Page 11/34


RENAULT 47 - 01 - 000 / - - E
Remark: To evaluate the performance of a surface treatment on painted parts, in addition to the assemblies, it is
necessary to use a sample on another part to scratch it and position it at 20° in the corrosion chamber.

The test method D34-2027 describes how to scratch the full-panel, and the standard 02-00-005 describes how to
perform the rating of the delamination at the end of the corrosion test ECC1.

Note 1: The parts with high curvature too high can’t be scratched using the tool described in the method D34-2027.
In this case and only in this case, use a tool "scratch needle made up of hard steel" or “Handcutter 428 Erichsen
with a 0.5 mm blade”. The rating method remains the same.

Scratch needle made up Handcutter 428 Erichsen

RENAULT 47 - 01 - 000 / - - E

6.7 PARTS EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURE  80 °C CODING TΘ

After being constantly maintained to a warm temperature for 2 hours, the parts must comply with the
requirements of resistance to corrosion.

Anticorrosion coding: the temperature T is indicated in the anti-corrosion coding of the part.

Organic or organo-minerals coatings: If the baking temperature of the organic coating is greater than , it
is not required to conduct the thermal shock test.

Operating mode:

The part is stored outside the oven at ambient temperature of the lab while the oven is warmed-up.

The operator must beforehand place a thermocouple inside the oven at a 10 cm distance from the edges
(effective volume). The thermocouple reading must be ± 2°C between the temperature range of 80 to °C).

Close the door of the oven without the part and wait for its stabilisation at a temperature of T°C ± 2°C.

Open the door of the oven and place the part(s) to be tested in the centre of the oven such that the parts do
not come in contact with the thermocouple or with each other and then close the door.

Wait for the oven to get stabilised at a temperature of °C ± 2°C, then leave the part(s) in the oven at °C ±
2°C for 2 hours.

Remove the part and wait for it to cool down to ambient temperature before putting it through the corrosion
test.

6.8 ADDITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

In certain cases, the additional requirements are indicated in the functional coding as a Z and a note that
goes along with it.

6.8.1 Conductivity (Z1)

RENAULT may require a part conducting electricity (e.g. part on which the ground wire is fixed); in this case,
the part must allow ensuring the requested functioning.

6.8.2 Contact with another part (Z2)

In the case where a part of the part or the assembly is in contact with another metallic part or a metallic
coating, refer to the requirements stated in 7.7 for the additional risks of coupling.

6.8.3 Parts machined after painting (Z3)

The parts must be tested after machining to check the efficiency of the cutting and washing fluids. The
machined zones must be covered using an adhesive tape or a painting applied manually, to avoid running of
oxidation.

The resistance of the anti-corrosion protection coating to machining and washing liquids is estimated
according to the test method described in paragraph 6.8.6.

© RENAULT 2015 Page 14/34


RENAULT 47 - 01 - 000 / - - E

6.8.4 Part getting an additional protection (Z4)

A part can get the following additional protections:

- Anti-gritting product (protection P1) in compliance with the standard 03-70-330,

- Additional under-body protection (Protection P2) based on the standard 03-70-550,

- Cavity wax (Protection P3) based on the standard 03-70-550.

Compatibility of protections:

The coating or the painting must not be altered by the additional protection(s) and must allow the adhesion of
the additional products defined in the drawing.

Note: The DIPV department is responsible of specifications for these products. The corrosion department
must be involved in the case of study of a new additional protection.

6.8.5 Part subjected to mechanical aggressions by friction (Z5)

Certain parts are subjected to mechanical aggressions by friction during use, e.g. seat runner.

The GFE must define the areas that are subjected to such aggression on the drawing.

The parts subjected to friction must meet corrosion requirements after being subjected to mechanical
aggression. Conditions must be defined with the GFE who is in charge of the part.

6.8.6 Parts subjected to specific chemical aggression by vehicle fluids (L)

The parts might be subjected to occasional and intermittent contamination with certain vehicle fluids. The
parts are pre-contaminated before the corrosion test and must comply with the requirements defined in these
specifications. Simultaneously, some parts must be tested without pre-contamination through a corrosion
test and must meet the same requirements.
Note 1: For permanent contacts with the vehicle liquids (e.g. cooling liquid inside the radiator),
contact the fluids team of UET DE-TC-PT.

Note 2: When you consider the contacts with the fluids, downgraded modes like battery leakage, brake fluid
leakage, etc. are not considered.

There are 2 levels of contaminations:

6.8.6.1 Occasional contamination (Class A)

Definition : In case of repair, maintenance, an upgrade of liquids, use of windshield washer fluid, filling the
fuel etc.

Note: It is imperative to test a minimum of 5 samples or parts.

Step 1: At room temperature immerse the specimen in question within the specified fluid or spray it with this fluid
and ensure that the specimen is wet over its entire surface.
Step 2: Let the sample drain naturally at room temperature for 5 to 10 min; it is not allowed to shake or wipe.
Step 3: Place the specimen in a test room at 70 ° C ± 2 ° C during 93 hours ± 3 hours. At the end of this period,
cooling the sample to room temperature.
Step 4: Perform the corrosion test as defined in paragraph 6.2. The corrosion resistance should respect the criteria
defined in the tables in paragraph 7.

6.8.8 Unprotected zone (Z8)

If a part of the part is exempted from protection for functional or assembly reasons, it must be indicated
precisely in the functional drawing.

The stripping zone must be protected with an adhesive to avoid running during the corrosion test. This zone
will not be considered for rating during the corrosion tests.

6.8.9 Part that must be subjected to degassing after the electrolysis processing (Z9)

If the part must be subjected to degassing after electrolysis, refer to standard 01-71-001.

6.8.10 Regulatory part (Z12)

6.8.10.1 “Engine engraving" based on specifications 34-00-160


The engraving number of the engine must be readable throughout the life of the powertrain.
At the end of the corrosion tests, reading must be possible under the condition that the corrosion phenomenon
(pick-offs, blistering, etc.) does not visibly damage the depth of the marking points. The housings in aluminium
(engines and gearboxes) are exempted from anti-corrosion protection.

To ensure the visibility and the reading of the engraved number after 20 years of life in the network, the engraved
zones must be protected either by placing an adhesive label or a clear-coat or a transparent wax.

a) Protection of engravings through an adhesive label

The test involves the following steps:

1. Contaminate the engraved surface for 15 seconds in the machining liquid (Refer to § 6.8.6) at ambient
temperature.
2. Allow the specimen to dry for 24 hours in open air.
3. Labelling: manual pressure with the thumb along the length of the label.
4. Thermal shock for 1 hour at 135°C.
5. ECC1 corrosion test during 84 cycles.

At the end of the test, the engraving must be readable to ensure a duration of protection of 20 years.

b) Protection of the engraving through a clear-coat or a transparent wax

The test involves the following steps:

1. Receive an already protected part.


2. Thermal shock induced by exposure to 135°C for 1 hour
3. ECC1 corrosion test during 84 cycles

At the end of the test, the engraving must be readable to ensure a duration of protection of 20 years.

6.8.10.2 Customs rules for China

The country's rules are particularly strict and must be observed: "no red oxidation on the parts in customs reception
area, and of course during the delivery to the customer"

coating (zinc, aluminium, tin, etc.) Metallic coating (with or without
finishing): pure zinc, lamellar zinc,
Fe substrate zinc-nickel, zinc-iron,
aluminium/silicon, etc.
Steel sheet metal, forged
steel, cast iron

The validation test that must be performed in this case is the salt spray test based on the standard D17-1058
which includes the aggressiveness of the test on zinc. This aggressiveness is mandatory for the better
characterisation of the anti-corrosion protection duration.
The test durations are as follows:

Interior part (I) External part (E)

Full panel, edge, weld Full panel, edge, weld

As0 / NV 264h (1)

As0 / VC 504h (1)

As1 / NV No requirement 288h (1)

As2 / NV No requirement 408h (1)

48h (2) 240h (2)


As2 / VA 144h (1) 816h (1)

(1) No red oxidation


(2) No change in appearance

Test conditions:
- The tests requested for in the specifications are performed on integral parts or on assemblies or on part
samples placed in vehicle configuration such that it produces a level of aggression on the vehicle. Thus, the
positioning of parts is defined in line with RENAULT.
- Also note that in the case of the Salt Spray Test standard (D171058), it’s important to notice any change
(even small) in the appearance, and "Red oxidation" is rated since the first time it appears.
- For the codded VA parts must mandatorily be compared with a specimen not having been subjected to
corrosion test to estimate the change in the appearance.
