F REQUIREMENTS
1 Application
Recommended Usage included in the description of individual finishes are intended for information
only.

2 Designation
The finish required on a standard or special part is designated by adding the appropriate Finish
Code to the Part Number as a suffix when a part is released. FINISH CODES SHALL NOT BE
INCLUDED IN THE PART NUMBER BLOCK ON A SPECIAL PART DRAWING.
The Finish Code is obtained from Section G, DETAILED FINISH DESCRIPTIONS AND
REQUIREMENTS. The Finish Code consists of the letters 'SJ' followed by a number and
designation alpha codes (except "SSW").
The release for a standard or special part is incomplete without the addition of a finish code to the
Part Number.

JLR FASTENER PART NUMBERS MUST BE RELEASED WITH A FINISH NUMBER.

Title: Fasteners: Finish Specifications

3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 SUMMARY
All parts must comply with Engineering Material Specification STJLR.99.9999 to help
safeguard health, safety and the environment.

3.2 PART CONDITION

Parts as supplied to Ford locations shall be completely covered with the finish specified. Parts
shall also be commercially clean and shall be free from corrosion, chips, loosely adherent metal
oxides, dirt, abrasives or other foreign material. Handling, storage, packaging, preservation,
and delivery shall be in accordance with QS-9000 and ISO/TS16949.

3.3 EMBRITTLEMENT AVOIDANCE

All components, shall comply with the requirements of STJLR.50.5111.

3.4 PROTECTIVE FINISHES ON THREADS

Bolt threads with relatively thick coatings (e.g. greater than 8 micrometres) may require
additional allowance to accommodate the coating. The thread dimensions before coating shall
be determined by the Supplier and shall be manufactured within tolerance class 6 limits. The
thread allowance shall be limited by the upper deviation of tolerance class 6g (es) and the
lower deviation of tolerance class 6e (ei).
Note: This allows the manufacturer to size the parts anywhere within the total tolerance span of
class 6g (es) through 6e (ei). To minimise deviation within a lot, the lot shall be limited to a
tolerance grade 6. See ISO 261 and ISO 965 for information regarding thread tolerances.
After plating/coating the threads shall meet the requirements of tolerance class 6h using a GO
screw ring gauge. For acceptability of thread damage after plating/coating the torque applied to
the GO screw ring gauge shall not exceed 0.001d3 Nm as per ISO 6157, except for dipspin
coatings which shall not exceed 0.0015d3 Nm.
Nut threads shall be manufactured to 6H tolerance. When coated with zinc flake type coatings
tightness to thread inspection gauges may be experienced, however, the coating thickness
shall not adversely affect the mechanical performance of the nut or have an adverse affect on
normal installation practices. Zinc flake coated nuts shall be tested using an uncoated (or zinc
plated) 6g bolt. The nut shall engage on the bolt by hand, the maximum prevailing torque
measured over a minimum of 1.5d of rotations shall not exceed 1Nm.

4 TEST METHODS - SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FASTENERS

Requirements defined in this protective finish specification apply to parts as received by JLR and
shall be evaluated using the following test methods and definitions as applicable.

4.1 SIGNIFICANT SURFACES

Significant surfaces are those surfaces visible on a part as normally assembled, or surfaces
that can be a source of corrosion products visible on an assembled vehicle. Significant
surfaces are used when assessing corrosion.

4.2 COATING THICKNESS

Threads, sharp edges, crevices, holes, slots and recesses shall not be used for coating
thickness measurement. The measurement of coating thickness shall be in accordance with
ISO 4042 Clause 10.

Title: Fasteners: Finish Specifications

4.3 SALT SPRAY TEST

Salt spray tests shall be conducted in accordance with Appendix A, which supersedes any salt
spray requirements stated in the specified material/performance specifications. It is not
intended for salt spray testing to be conducted on every lot. Salt spray testing is intended to be
used to monitor the process and shall be conducted in accordance with QS-9000 and
ISO/TS16949.

4.4 WASHER ADHESION

The washer component of nut and washer assemblies, and bolt and washer assemblies shall
be free to rotate so that installation is not affected by spinning of the washer component. The
washer may not be free spinning initially, when heavy finishes are applied. Acceptable initial
washer component adhesion shall become loose after a 0.0015d3 Nm breakaway torque is
applied.

5 DIP SPIN APPLIED COATINGS - RECESS FILL, THREAD FILL, AND OTHER POTENTIAL
ISSUES
5.1 Some finishes are applied by: a) depositing the fasteners into a perforated basket; b)
immersing the basket into a tank of the uncured material; c) elevating the basket above the
tank; and d) spinning the basket above the tank. The basket's rotational speed overcomes the
centripetal force, shedding excess material to provide the desired coating thickness. Material
viscosity, fastener geometry, fastener orientation in the basket, load size, and rotational speed
are major factors in the application of these finishes.

5.2 Internally driven fasteners (recess drive), fasteners with internal cavities such as nuts, rivets,
parts with extruded, closed-end holes, parts with through-holes, fasteners with fine pitch
threads, and other similar features trap excess material in the cavities, which the spinning
process does not completely remove.

5.3 CAUTION: If the dip spin process is used to apply coatings to fasteners with these design
features, a percentage of the fasteners will have recess fill, clogged holes, bubbled coating,
and/or thread bridging. As a result, fasteners with these finishes and designs may experience
issues with form, fit, and function at the assembly plants.

5.4 To avoid these issues, consider applying the dip spin finish using a different process method
such as spray, tumble spray, and planetary rotary systems. These processes may significantly
reduce recess fill, but will still yield some recess fill. Alternatively, consider externally driven
fastener designs, non-dip spin finishes, and plated finishes.

Note: Dip Spin coatings are identified under their respective finish descriptions within this
specification.

APPENDIX A Salt Spray Testing and Evaluation of Fastener Finishes

1 Scope
This procedure is used to test and evaluate the resistance of fastener surface finishes to
laboratory salt spray testing.

2 Apparatus
Salt Spray Cabinet
The salt spray cabinet and operating conditions shall meet the requirements of ASTM B117.

Sample Holders
Sample holders shall be made of an inert corrosion resistant material such as acrylic, polyvinyl
chloride or equivalent material. The holder size and thickness depends upon the size and
number of fasteners being tested. No wood shall be used in the construction of sample holders
as the sap acidity can affect the corrosion result.

External Threaded Fasteners

The fasteners shall be mounted on the sample holder such that the test solution will not drip onto
fasteners below.

Internal Threaded and Other Types of Fasteners

For samples such as nuts, washers and clips, place the samples on a glass or plastic rod or
hung by nylon thread of suitable length to hold parts without contacting each other. The rods or
thread shall then be supported in the cabinet such that the solution will not drip onto fasteners
below.

3 Test Procedure
Sample Preparation
All samples to be tested shall have been properly prepared by the usual manufacturing process
required for that particular finish. Prior to salt spray testing, the parts shall be washed in a mild
noncorrosive, phosphate free detergent solution (approximately 20 ml of detergent to 15 l of
water) at 21 oC ± 3 oC for 10 to 15 seconds, rinsed in tap water and then blown dry with clean
compressed air. The detergent shall have a ph value of 8.2 to 9.2.

Sample Assembly
Assemble the samples to the sample holder designed for the configuration of the fastener see
section 2.

Sample Position
o
Place the holder and samples in the salt spray cabinet with the primary axis of the holder at 25
o
± 3 from the vertical see Figure 1.

Post test Preparation

At the end of the specified test time, remove the samples from the cabinet, rinse in clean running
water not warmer than 38 oC to remove salt deposits from the surface and then blow dry with
clean compressed air.
