SURFACE CLEANLINESS OF METAL COMPONENTS


DX552500

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard defines the cleanliness requirements for die castings, stampings, extrusions, and other metal
components that are not plated or coated after forming.
1.2 The specification number shown in the title is a generic number for the various surface cleanliness requirements
of metal components supplied to Table 1 shows the specification numbers to be used on the drawings and
reflects the basic requirements of the specification.
1.2.1 Drawing call out example: Surface Cleanliness, DX552502 per DX552500.
1.2.1.1 This example from Table 1 shows that Ionic Contamination testing is required, a maximum foreign particle
size of 254 microns is allowed, and no adhesion testing is required.
1.3 Specific requirements shown on the part drawing shall take precedence over any requirements in this
specification, or may be in addition to the requirements of this specification.

2. REFERENCED STANDARDS
ASTM F 303 DX000005 DX550086 DX900423 IPC-TM-650

3. ENVIRONMENTAL/SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
All materials supplied to this specification must comply with the requirements listed in DX000005.

4. REQUIRMENTS
4.1 ADHESION TESTING (DX900423)
The metal component shall exhibit greater than 90% cohesive failure when tested per DX900423.
4.2 IONIC CONTAMINATION (IPC-TM-650 Section 2.3.28.2)
All metal components controlled by this specification must meet the ionic contamination levels specified in Table 2
when tested per IPC-TM-650 Section 2.3.28.2. The supplier shall include the ions listed in Table 3 as part of the
Total Inorganic calculation. This requirement is for PPAP only and is not intended as a process control requirement.
