1. This is selected specification that will be used by FCA.

2. In case of minor changes, this specification will keep the original document number and
will be updated with a new change level (Revision)
3. Just when major updates are required the responsible (FCA Italy or FCA US Author), will
have to rewrite it following the requirements, templates and guidelines that prevail at that
time. A new code (nomenclature) will be assigned and this document replaced by the
new one.

2.3.4
Hardness
CONFIDENTIAL

The Rockwell hardness (ISO 6508-01) must be HRC 41 to 47, if not otherwise indicated on washer
drawing or standard; in case of dispute, a Vickers (HV5) according to Tab. ISO 6507-01 must be
carried out. The hardness shall be determined after removal of the surfaces coating and / or
decarbonised layer, if any; this last, in any case, shall not be higher than 0.01 mm besides 2% of the
washer thickness.

2.3.5
Protective coating
The protective coating, if any, shall comply with the requirements of the relevant standards indicated
on the drawing or on the washer Standard Table. Using a electrolytic zinc surface coatings, a
minimum thickness of 5 m is tolerated, if protection efficiency value (resistance to the salt spray fog)
is included within the limits required by the Procurement Specification 9.57405, for the relevant
galvanizing types, having a thickness of  7 m.
In case no coating is required, washers shall be supplied as they result after the heat treatment.
2.3.6
Elasticity
Interpose the washer between a steel plate and a punch simulating a screw head, having the
dimensions indicated in the following figure and diagram, both having a surface hardness of HRC 
55.
Compress the washers for 3 consecutive times with a load F causing the total flattening of the washer
and, in any case, not lower than 1.5 times the load C1 indicated in Tab. 10187.

RM
The load application times are of 3 min. for the first compression and 5 seconds for the two following
compressions respectively; the test temperature is the environmental one.
At the end of the test, no cracks, break starts, ovalization, visible with naked eye, and the residual set
value (f1) must range within the limit indicated in Tab. 10187.

2.3.7
Hot creep
Compress and lock the washer being tested between a metal plate and a false screw head as
indicated under § 2.3.6, under the same load, and keep the assembly in these conditions for 200
hours at a temperature of 100  3 C.
Then, bring back to environmental temperature, remove the load and repeat the elasticity checks
following the same procedures indicated under § 2.6. The deriving residual set value (f1) must range
again within the limit indicated under Tab. 10187.
2.3.8
Shortness
Compress and lock the washer as indicated under § 2.3.7 and immerse the assembly completely into
water at environmental temperature for 168 hours (7 days).
After this period removed from the test equipment, washes shall not show any breaks, cracks or splits,
visible with naked eye.
This check is particularly important in case of galvanized washers.

Production supplies

WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT BY FIAT AUTO S.p.A. IN CASE OF DISPUTE

The delivered product must comply with requirements indicated on drawing and in this Procurement

THE ONLY VALID REFERENCE IS THE ORIGINAL ITALIAN EDITION

Specification. When defining the production process to be followed and the test severity, the Supplier
must consider the classes of importance that FGA gave to each characteristic which the requirements
refer to (see § 5).
Note: During both product qualification and supply check, checks can be carried out on components
that underwent not-impairing tests (indicated by NM in § 5); if the component underwent
CONFIDENTIAL

impairing tests (M), it can be utilized no more for other tests or checks, if not otherwise
indicated every time.
