7 CORROSION TESTS AND THEIR COSMETIC CRITERIA

7.1 FERROUS-BASED SUBSTRATES

With or without organic finishing
7.1.1 FERROUS-BASED substrates with METALLIC
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)

As1 / VB 600h (1)

48h (2) 192h (2)

As1 / VA 120h (1) 600h (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.

7.1.2 STEEL SHEET METAL with or without metallic precoating Organic coating
protected with an ORGANIC coating With or without metallic precoating (with or without passivation): pure zinc,
lamellar zinc, zinc-nickel, zinc-iron, Aluminium/Silicon, etc.
Fe substrate Steel sheet metal

Note: Hanged parts must have very small contact areas; these areas are not considered in the rating.

The validation test that must be carried out in this case is the ECC1 test based on D17-2028, after the adhesive test on the dedicated part (Refer to note 2 of § 5.4 ).
The test durations are as follows:

Interior part (I) External part (E)

Full-panel Periphery of the Full-panel Periphery of the
Edge Full-panel and weld Edge Full-panel and weld

- Edge (limitations for a side of a part or cutting edge)

(1) No red corrosion is found along the length of the edges (cutting edge).
(2) No blistering or no white corrosion is found along the length of the edges (cutting edge). No unsticking of the painting film after the stripping test with the adhesive tape (procedure
described in the standard 02-00-005).

- Full-panel and weld or at the point of contact with rubber/glue

(3) No red corrosion or blistering under painting.
(4) No blistering or no white or red corrosion. No unsticking of the painting film after the stripping test with the adhesive tape (procedure described in the standard 02-00-005).

- Scratched full-panel (procedure described in the standard 02-00-005).

(5) Average unsticking of painting around the scratch < 3.5 mm for a naked steel, and < 2.5 mm for steel pre-coated with zinc (zinc, zinc-nickel, zinc-iron, etc.).

- Periphery of the joint or contact with the rubber/glue

(6) No red corrosion greater than 1 mm from the periphery of the joints.
(7) At the periphery: no blistering under the painting and no white or red corrosion from the interstice (no running). No unsticking of the painting film after the stripping test with the adhesive
tape (procedure described in the standard 02-00-005).
