Material Specification

GMW3359

1 Scope
This standard covers the basic requirements for a
corrosion resistant non-electrolytically applied zincrich coating. Besides corrosion protection, the
coating also provides consistent frictional
properties.
1.1
Material
Description.
This
coating
specification covers zinc flake coating with or
without a top coat.
Coating Types: Three levels of corrosion
protection are provided by the following types:
Type A: High corrosion resistant coating.
Type B: Medium corrosion resistant coating.
Type C: Low corrosion resistant coating.
Note: When not explicitly specified, the default
coating type shall be Type A. Parts contracted and
Production Part Approval Processed (PPAPed)
before January 1, 2014, that is without the coating
Type (A, B, or C) specified, may continue to default
to Type B.
Note: Type C coating systems may be without top
coat if coefficient of friction (CoF) requirements are
met. Treatment with an additional lubricant to meet
CoF is permissible.
1.2 Symbols. Not applicable.
1.3 Applicability. This coating is suitable for
externally and internally threaded fasteners size
M6 or larger, and other ferrous parts where high
level of corrosion protection and freedom from
hydrogen embrittlement are required. This coating
is not recommended for the following types of
parts:

Bolts and nuts of sizes < M6.

Parts with internal drive recess and blind holes.

Parts mating against magnesium surfaces.

Loose washers of all sizes.

Parts where electrical conductivity is required.

1.4 Remarks.
1.4.1 This coating process does not generate
hydrogen; however, pre-treatment processes, i.e.,
acid pickling could cause hydrogen adsorption.

Non-electrolytically applied zinc-rich coating has

high permeability which allows effusion of
hydrogen during curing which might have been
absorbed during acid pickling. See precautions in
Section 3.1.1.
1.4.2 Use of this coating system on threaded
surface and/or bearing surface of joints could affect
the torque-tension relationship. It is recommended
that a torque-tension study of the fastener joint be
performed before releasing this finish on any new
application.
1.4.3 The corrosion performance is influenced by
part geometry, substrate material, and application
process. The coating systems approved to this
specification were tested to meet all requirements
using common steel fasteners. For new designs,
applications, and parts with complex geometries or
difficult to clean material such as castings and
powder metal, extra validation testing is highly
recommended.
1.4.4 This finish is suitable for service
temperatures from -50 C to +120 C. Applications
outside of this temperature range shall be reviewed
with the responsible Materials Engineering
organization before usage.
1.4.5 Dip-spin coating is a bulk process. If parts
are prone to nesting, stick together (flat washers),
or easily damaged by mechanical tumbling, dipspin coating method is not recommended.
Alternatives include spray and dip-drain methods.
1.4.6 Shot blasting is not a preferred pre-treatment
method for internally threaded parts (nuts), nutwasher and bolt-washer assemblies. If shot
blasting is used, extra care shall be taken to
ensure shots are not trapped in the coated parts.
1.4.7 This coating is relatively soft, and is prone to
dusting. It is expected that equipment handling
high volumes of coated parts (such as automated
bolt feeders) will require regular cleaning to
remove the coating dust.

3 Requirements
The parts coated to this specification shall meet
the
following
technical
requirements
and
demonstrated by the test methods described. The
appropriate tests for different situations: New
chemical approval, new applicator approval,
Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), and
regular process control testing, are described in
Appendix A. Procedures and requirements for new
chemical and applicator approval are described in
Appendix B.
3.1 Pre-treatment and Post-treatment.
3.1.1 All coated parts with surface or core
hardness greater than 320 HV (32 HRc), and
processed through an acidic or hydrogengenerating pre-treatment process shall be
processed per SAE/USCAR-5. The referee method
for detection of embrittlement shall be per
SAE/USCAR-7.
The maximum material hardness in the drawing or
relevant specification shall be used to determine if
de-embrittlement treatment is required. If a part is
heavily cold worked or heat treated to high
strength/hardness, but is without a specified
maximum hardness limit in the drawing or
specification, then the part manufacturer must
provide to the applicator the hardness data in order

GMW3359

to determine if de-embrittlement treatment is

required. Note that treatment is determined by the
maximum measured hardness of the lot, not the
average.
3.1.2 The curing temperature of the coating
process shall not exceed the maximum of 400 C.
This is to reduce the risk of tempering or other
softening conditions to hardened parts. For
hardened parts, special consideration shall be
made to ensure the mechanical properties are not
detrimentally affected by the coating process.
3.2 Appearance. The coating shall have a uniform
appearance and shall be free from uncoated areas
and excess coating which affect appearance and
performance. The coating shall not be oily or tacky
to the touch. The coating shall be completely cured
and shall have good adhesion to base metal.
Unless otherwise specified, the color shall be silver
or gray.
3.3 Flexibility and Chip Resistance. The coating
must withstand the normal extension, flexing and
compression encountered by springs and spring
clips during product assembly without evidence of
flaking or loss of adhesion from the base metal. It
shall withstand normal handling and storage
conditions without chipping or flaking.
3.3.1 Expose coated part per GMW14700,
method C. Test at room temperature. After
exposure per GMW14700, expose the same parts
to Neutral Salt Spry (NSS) per 3.6. Parts shall
meet the corrosion performance requirements per
3.6.
3.4 Adhesion Characteristics.
3.4.1 Parts coated to this specification shall show
no evidence of blistering or other appearance
changes other than a whitish blush after humidity
exposure per GMW14729 for 96 h. After removal
from humidity exposure for at least 10 minutes,
perform tape adhesion test per GMW14829. There
shall be a minimum of 99.0% coating (top coat)
retention. When removing the tape, a slight
adherence of the coating is permissible since this
has no influence on the corrosion resistance. In the
case of small parts with insufficient surface area for
the tape adhesion test, coat 50 mm x 50 mm steel
panels with the parts and use the panels for the
test.
3.4.2 For each production lot, perform tape
adhesion test per GMW14829 on finished coated
parts. There shall be a minimum of 99.0% coating
(top coat and base coat) retention. If the production
part geometry or size is not suitable for this test,
surrogate parts may be coated with the production
parts and used for adhesion testing.

3.5 Coating Thickness.

3.5.1 The coating thickness is defined as the
combined base coat and top coat after the entire
coating and curing process is completed. The
minimum coating thicknesses for the different
coating types (A/B/C) are listed in Table 1.
3.5.2 The coating thickness on bolts and screws
shall be measured on the head. In cases when it is
not possible to accurately measure the coating
thickness on the head (e.g., the coating is
mechanically damaged, or it was already exposed
to a corrosion test), the untouched surface of the
fastener tip may be measured and compared to a
reference part coated in the same process. On
nuts, the coating thickness shall be measured on
the spanner flats.
3.5.3 For parts other than threaded fasteners, the
coating thickness requirement applies to significant
surfaces as specified on engineering drawings. If
the significant surfaces are not defined, then all
surfaces are considered significant.
3.5.4 For threaded fasteners, the maximum coating
thickness is limited by the basic thread size
(tolerance h or H). After coating, parts must gage
with appropriate basic size GO thread gage. The
maximum allowable torque for gauging can be
found in GMW16551. Threads may be produced
undersize/oversize to accommodate the coating,
provided that the finished fastener meets all
specified
mechanical
properties.
Where
mechanical
properties
are
not
specified,
undersizing/oversizing is subject to approval by the
pertinent GM Fastener Engineer, and all
undersizing/oversizing shall be within agreed upon
limits. The fastener supplier will consult with the
coating applicator to determine the appropriate
thread size before coating.
3.5.5 The maximum coating thickness under the
head of bolts and screws shall not exceed 25 m.
3.5.6 For parts other than threaded fasteners,
there is no limit on maximum total coating
thickness, as long as the finish meets all other
requirements and does not negatively affect the
function of the part.
3.5.7 The applicator may use a non-destructive
method to measure the total or base coat thickness
for process quality control or lot release. However,
a documented correlation with the total coating
thickness, measured by microscopic test per
ISO 1463, and the readings by non-destructive
test, must be established for each coating type and
thickness measurement equipment.

GMW3359

Note: Coating thickness derived from coating

weight measurements is not acceptable for lot
release or other official reporting purposes.
3.5.8 For referee purposes, the coating thickness
shall be determined by microscopic examination of
cross sections taken perpendicular to significant
surfaces per ISO 1463.
3.6 Corrosion Resistance, Neutral Salt Spray
(NSS). After exposure to neutral salt spray (NSS)
for the hours specified in Table 1, coated parts
shall show a maximum of 5% white corrosion
products and no base metal corrosion (red rust) on
significant surfaces. The test method and definition
of significant surfaces are described in 3.6.1 thru
3.6.4.
Note: The corrosion protection performance
described here is applicable to the finished product
as it is packaged and leaves the applicator. After
extended transportation, handling, and storage, the
corrosion performance and other characteristics
may deteriorate. It is up to the Tier 1 supplier to
arrange the proper logistics with GM to ensure the
parts meet performance when they reach GM
assembly.

cabinet/chamber shall be constructed of
material resistant to the test environment, i.e.,
acrylic and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Also, the
sample holder material shall not affect the
corrosion test results, i.e., metal and wood
products.

The orientation of the parts during test is

slightly slanted to minimize accumulation of
test solution on the part surface.

The placement and orientation of test parts

shall be such that parts are not touching, and

conditions (23 C 5 C and relative humidity
of 45% 10%) for at least 24 h before the test.
3.6.2 Significant surfaces for test evaluation of
fasteners shall be all exposed surfaces when
installed, including but not limited to the head,
socket recess, SEMS washers and external
surface of nuts. Fastener threads and point are
excluded unless otherwise specified on the
drawing.
3.6.3 Significant surfaces on parts other than
threaded fasteners shall be all surfaces except
deep recesses such as blind holes and the interior
of tubes unless otherwise specified on the drawing.
3.6.4 After heating the finished parts for 3 h at
150 C (part temperature), the corrosion resistance
requirements as specified in 3.6.1 shall still be met.
3.6.5 NSS testing shall be performed in-house as
part of the applicators process control plan to
ensure that parts meet the corrosion resistance
requirements consistently.
Note: The salt spray test is only used to test the
integrity of the finish for quality control and
comparison to other parts with the same finish. The
hours to white or red corrosion products shall not
be construed as having any correlation to the
actual service life of the part.
3.7 Cyclic Corrosion Test. Expose coated parts
per GMW14872:

Type A: EXT All, 4s, Method 1/2/3,

Exposure D.

Type B: EXT All, 4s, Method 1/2/3,

Exposure C.
Type C: INT Low, 1/5s, Method 1/2/3,
Exposure C.
After exposure, there shall be no red rust on
significant surfaces as defined in 3.6.2 and 3.6.3.
3.8 Cathodic Protection. The cathodic protection
capability of the coating shall be tested by NSS
exposure per ISO 9227 with a sample that is
scratched to the base metal, the scratch having a
width of 0.5 mm 0.1 mm. After 96 h of NSS
exposure, there shall be no red rust inside of the
scratch.

the ELPO and aluminum bearing surface.

These tests are required for the initial approval

of the finish material.

4 Manufacturing Process
4.1 The GM-approved process, including pretreatment (cleaning), coating, and post-treatment
shall be performed by one (1) company in one (1)
facility. The equipment, process controls,
chemicals, and location used must remain the
same for regular production. This includes pretreatment (such as cleaning) and post-treatment.
These operations cannot deviate without prior
approval by GM Materials Engineering.
For each production lot of coated parts, the
applicator shall supply a certificate to their
customer with the following information:
This specification number.

Applicator name and address.

Coating system used.

--`,``,```,```,,,`,``,,``,`````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

Part number.
Date(s) the parts were coated.

Total coating thickness range (minimum and

maximum) for at least three (3) finished parts.
The applicator shall keep the certificates for a
minimum of five (5) years.
The applicator may supply this certificate after
delivery of the lot, but must do so within six (6)
months.
4.2 To avoid poor coating quality due to corrosion
and contamination, after pre-treatment (shot
blasting or phosphating), parts must be kept clean
and free of rust until coating. This includes using
dedicated clean containers, and appropriate
storage/staging to minimize exposure to dust and
dirt. Parts must be coated within a time limit after
pre-treatment. This time limit depends on the plant
environment (temperature and humidity) and shall
be no more than 48 h.
4.3 Internally threaded parts (nuts), bolts and
screws with captive washers (SEMS), and parts
with recessed features shall be coated in a canting
centrifuge (tilt-tumbling basket), planetary-type
basket system, or equivalent equipment to
minimize excess coating and recess fill.

7 Notes
7.1 Glossary.
Production Lot: A batch of coated parts are
considered one (1) production lot when the
following criteria are met:

A batch of parts consisting of one (1) part

number, and supplied as one (1) lot from the
customer.

The batch is processed together on one (1)

machine and in one (1) continuous run. While
the pre-treatment, base coat, and top coat may
be applied on separate days, if a batch of parts
undergo the processes on different days or on
different machines, that batch is no longer
considered one (1) production lot for that
process.
Example: If the top coat for a batch of parts were
applied on two (2) different days (not continuously
on consecutive shifts), then the testing
requirements affected (e.g., coating thickness)
must be performed for each of the two (2) top coat
days.

Applicator must have capability for CoF/TT testing currently and have two (2) years plans for capability of
independently measuring thread and underhead bearing friction per ISO 16047.
All applications for new applicators must be made through an existing approved GM chemical supplier.
Contact the GM Materials Engineer responsible for this specification before testing.
New chemical and applicator test requirements:
Test samples must be coated on a regular production line with the intended chemistry running for a
minimum of three (3) months unless otherwise agreed upon by GM responsible Materials Engineer. No
special handling or treatment allowed. Special arrangements may be allowed for new coating
technologies.

All testing must be performed by independent ISO 17025 accredited laboratory unless otherwise
authorized by GM. Official reports (in electronic format) are required.

All after-test samples must be submitted together for review. Since certain test parts (such as after
corrosion testing) will continue to degrade after end of test, it is important to plan ahead.

Applicator approvals are valid for five (5) years after which they may be renewed following review of quality
history and optional sample testing. Approvals may be revoked at any time for quality issues and other
non-conformances to this specification or AIAG CQI-12.

New applicators must have automated coating systems with tilting basket capability. Coating parameters
such as loading weight/amount, dip time, spin speed, spin time, and transportation through the curing oven
must be automated.

For new chemical systems, submit technical data sheet and a "dry film" MSDS for evaluation for potential
hazardous material.

For new applicators, submit an independent AIAG CQI-12 audit report, along with Automotive Industry
Action Group (AIAG) format process flow diagram, control plan, and Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis
(PFMEA) documents.

Type A, B, and C approval for new material and applicator:

Coating material and applicators approved for Type A are automatically approved for Type B.

Type C is considered a completely separate approval. However, some testing may be abbreviated if
the coating system and application process for Type A/B and C are identical, differing only in base
coat thickness.
Special testing and sampling requirements:

3.1 Submit a brief outline of process equipment capability shot blasting, phosphate line, type and
size of parts capability, etc.

3.2 submit ten (10) coated and untested samples.

3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 A minimum of ten (10) samples for each test. Submit all tested samples along
with official reports.

3.5 For each type, coating thickness measurement must be by cross section method on five (5) or
more random parts. Submit all measured sample mounts.
3.6 For each type, prepare a minimum of 20 samples for NSS testing: Ten (10) pieces are for white
corrosion evaluation, and the remaining ten (10) pieces for red rust evaluation.
3.10 Contact the responsible GM materials engineer regarding test requirements for new material and
applicator approval.
