PARTS AFFECTED BY THE PROCESS - PROHIBITION AND USE LIMITS * Electrolytic zinc coating is a coating with the unique function of protecting parts in ferrous materials against corrosion up to a maximum peak temperature of around 200°C (for Zinc Nickel 12 to 15%). Electrolytic zine coating must not be specified for the coating of parts : * which are not in ferrous material, * exposed to temperatures above 200°C, * with a geometry incompatible with electro-depesition : for example, electrolytic zinc coating must not be specified where itis impossible or difficult to observe the thicknesses stated in § 8.2. or on drawings (electro- deposition is impossible in box sections). On the other hand, Zinc Nickel coating 12 to 15% may be used for the protection of parts rubbing against each other; a functional validation must however be carried out systematically. Furthermore, acid pickling, electrolytic degreasing and actual electrolytic zinc coating operations have a tendency to lead to embrittlement (hydrogen embrittlement) of steel with high mechanical characteristics, whieh may cause delayed fractures on coated parts. This is the reason why 1. Electrolytic zine coating is prohibited : ‘* for any part with a tensile strength load Rm > or = 1200 Mpa, or with a Vickers hardness > or = 372 Hv. for safety parts with a tensile strength load Rm > or = 1000 Mpa. for screws, pillar screws and studs of Quality Class > or = 12.9. for safety fasteners of Quality Class > or = 10.9 (screws, pillar screws, studs). *+ for safely nuts of Quality Class > or = 12 Note : In the case of screws or nuts with incorporated washer, the prohibition for zinc coating is based on the component with the highest hardness or Am. 2. Astress relieving operation (see paragraph 6.3.) is mandatory: ‘+ for parts with a tensile strength load Rm > or = 1000 Mpa or with a Vickers hardness > or = 310 Hv. ‘+ for safely parts with Rm > or = 800 Mpa + for metallic clips and clamps ‘+ for thread forming screws, tapping screws and screws for soft materials + for nuts of Quality Glass 12 ‘+ for fasteners of Quality Class 10.9 (screws, pillar sorews, studs...) + for safety fasteners of Quality Class 8.8 (screws, pillar screws, studs). ‘OR : 14/12/2001 B: 08/12/2006 INTERNAL USEPSA PEUGEOT - CITROEN [ELECTROLYTIC ZINC COATINGS Bis4i2 | 716 | 6.DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS To obtain an electrolytic zinc coating conforming to this norme, the next main steps must be observed. 6.1.DEGREASING AND PICKLING Several chemical and/or electrolytic degreasing and pickling operations separated by water rinses must be carried out before zinc plating. Warning : These operations embrittle the steel to a more or less degree (Hydrogen embrittlement) and are therefore prohibited or require a stress relieving operation : see paragraph 5. Note : Mechanical pickling (micro ball indentation for example) may also be carried out, in particular on parts which have been subjected to a thermal treatment. 6.2.ELECTROLYTIC ZINC COATING (symbol ZNI) ‘The electrolytic zinc plating must be produced trom a mandatory Zinc and Nickel bath, In an alkaline medium. without cyanide. This operation and the coating obtained are represented in this norme by letters _ZNI The Zinc Nickel thickness and the Ni content of the coating must conform with the requirements in paragraph 6, Warning : The zinc plating operation embritiles the steel to a more or less degree (see paragraph 5). For certain steel classes, zinc coating is prohibited; for others, a stress relieving operation is required. 6.3.STRESS RELIEVING (symbol D) This operation which carries the symbol represented by letter D in this norme must mandatorily be carried out 4 hours maximum after removing the parts from the zinc plating bath. it may be carried out before or after the passivation stage and before finishing Parts must be subjected to a temperature level of at least 200°C (temperature of the parts) for a minimum. duration of 4 hours in a ventilated oven. Stress relieving is mandatory when letter D is shown in the symbol of the coating stated on the drawings and for steel classes stated in paragraph 5. Note : Lamellar zinc (Normes B15 3320) does not require a stress relieving operation as it does not embrittle the stee! providing that mechanical pickling is carried out with the exclusion of any other chemical pickling operations. 6.4.PASSIVATION (SYMBOL 3) This operation strengthens the resistance to corrosion of the coating by delaying the corrosion of the Zinc Nickel layer and colours or participates in the colouring of the coating. This passivation must be carried out with products containing Chrome 3 (trivalent) when the figure 3 is shown in the coating symbol; refer to the list of PSA product approval in the Appendix. In this case, the colour of the coating must be a mandatory Silver (Symbol A) or exceptionally Black for Styling purposes (Symbol N).. The use of products containing Chrome 6 (hexavalent) is from now on prohibited : See norme B20 0250. Note 1 : The European Diractive 2000/53/EC of 21/10/2000 concerning End of Life vehicles (E.L. V..) prohibits from 01/07/2007 Cr6 on all component or unit of a vehicle marketed in EUROPE (except on the chassis fixing parts : prohibition from 1/07/2008). From 1/07/2003, Cr6 in anticorrosion coatings was permitted as an exemption on vehicles marketed in EUROPE. Note 2 : Black passivations are at present more difficult to produce, more expensive and less performing from the Point of view of resistance to corrosion than the Silver passivations. This is the reason why they must be specified only in exceptional circumstances. Note 3: The deletion of the passivation operation is being studied and has not yet been validated. ‘OR : 14/12/2001 B: 08/12/2006 INTERNAL USEPSA PEUGEOT - CITROEN [ELECTROLYTIC ZINC COATINGS [_sisa2 | ois | 6.5.FINISH (symbol P, |, R OR L) This operation consists of depositing an organic, mineral or organo mineral coating of a thickness in the order of the micron, in order to obtain a uniform colour or reinforce the colour of the coating, strengthen the anticorrosion protection and/or confer a defined friction coefficient to the coating. There are four possibilities 1, The application of a finish is Prohibited : Symbol P AA finish coating may be prohibited (after agreement from PSA corrosion Experts) in the following cases + Rubber/metal parts armatures. ‘+ Parts which provide an electrical function (a finish always weekens the part electrically) «Parts which provide a sealing function to fluids or which are in permanent contact with fluids (oil, anti- freeze, brake fluid, power steering fluid, refrigerating fluid...).

The application of a finish is unnecessary but not prohibited : Symbol | This is the case of pars fitted in the passenger compartment or under the bonnet and with very little exposure to corrosion (housing protection for example) with the exception of multi-use parts (lasteners for example). Itis the responsibility of the PSA Corrosion Experts to decide whether the application of a finish is necessary or not. 3. The application of a Reinforced finish for anticorrosion is necessary : Symbol R- This is the case of visible parts, excluding fasteners fitted outside the passenger compartment. The application of a Lubricated finish is necessary : Symbol L The aim is to confer a given friction coefficient to the coating. This lubricated finish shall be applied to all threaded parts. Unless otherwise specified on the drawing or on a standard document, threaded fasteners must havea friction coefficient equal to 0.15 + 0.03 (this friction coetticientis measured according to norme C10 0054). Note : Certain commercial products are formulated to reinforce protection against corrosion and also to conter to the coating a friction coefficient equal to 0.15 + 0.03; see list of approved products in the Appendix. 4. 7.SYMBOLS The designation on a drawing or on a standard document of an electrolytic zinc coating conforming to this norme carries a symbol made of characters which specify the process to be used and the requirements to be observed.

(Accelerated Corrosion) vehicles, on natural corrosion sites). The list of approved products is shown in the ‘Appendix. Nicontent : the Nickel content of the Zinc Nickel coating must be between 12 and 15% in weight (test carried out by X-ray fluorescence, according to the ISO method 3497). Chromium 3 passivations (Symbol 3) : check that there is no Cr 6 in extraction products after immersion of zinc coated parts in boiling water according to ISO method 3613 - 2000 ; possible traces of Cr6 must be below the threshold indicated in norme B20 0250. Passivation and finish products must not contain Lead or Cadmium or Mercury in order to be in conformity with norme B20 0250; possible traces of these heavy metals must be below the threshold indicated in norme B10 0250. 8.2.ZINC NICKEL COATING THICKNESS Thickness is measured by X-ray fluorescence (ISO method 3497). In litigation cases between PSA and the supplier, the thickness shall be measured by microstructural section (ISO method 1463). Coating thickness excluding thread : > 6 um Coating thickness on thread : > Sum Note 1 : Where the measuring apparatus by X-ray fluorescence is not available, the coating thickness may be measured approximately and in certain conditions with a magnetic inductance apparatus (Test method 026 5316), but this technique does not provide the measurement for Ni content. Note 2: Unless otherwise stated on the drawing, all areas on a part must have a mandatory coating with the thicknesses required above. The drawing must indicate the areas exempt of coating and those where the coating thickness is special. Note 3 : Coated threaded parts must also meet the various “ring gauge” inspection : consult the specific normes relating to each family of threaded parts. 8.3.COLOUR AND APPEARANCE The colour of the coating must correspond to that required on the drawing or on the standard document. The colour must be uniform over the whole part. 8.4.ADHESION AND RESISTANCE TO THERMAL SHOCK These two characteristics are checked by placing the coated part in an oven ata temperature of 300 + 5°C. ‘As soon as the part reaches the temperature of 300°C + 5°C, plunge the part immediately in water at a temperature of 20°C + 5°C for a few seconds, Requirement : No flaking, blistering of the coating visible to the naked eye.

Since the supplier of products used in electrolytic zinc coatings is perfectly aware of the parameters and conditions of use of his products, PSA request that he systematically and regularly audits (approximately every 2 years) the zine plating ines allocated to automotive products and user of his products. Conformity of the coating on the parts for each plater with regard to the requirements of this norme shall also be verified periodically by the supplier of the products. The plater is the only person responsible for the conformity of the coatings with regard to the requirements of this norme towards his customers. However, the supplier must ensure that the plater is in full control of the process supplied or to be supplied and that the installations of the plater are suitable to the products used. As such, the supplier of the products shall forward, at PSA's request, the reports of audits and the results of the tests on paris concerning the platers supplied by him. PSA shall proceed with striking off, in Appendices 1 and 2, the supplier's products that have not complied with the various requirements. ‘The plateris free to change products and suppliers among those stated in Appendices 1 and 2, but before carrying out any modifications, the relevant line shall be audited by the new supplier of products The file on the plater to be included with the Initial Samples shall contain the detailed range of the electrolytic zinc coating (with the commercial references of products used), as well as the report of tests carried out by the plater proving the conformity of the coating with regard to the requirements of this norme. Any subsequent modification to the range shall be the subject of a new presentation of the Initial Samples.
