1 PURPOSE

To define metallic materials protection classes depending on their location on the vehicle and
quality, appearance and protection requirements (see Table IV).
Define the general minimum protection cycles for each class according to the following types:
a) Parts and painted sub-assemblies.
b) Threaded fasteners or unpainted metal parts.
c) Aluminum parts.

This IVECO Std. supersedes the following IVECO Standards:

17-1600 "Paint cycles for metal parts to be installed on chassis and body".
17-1600-A001 "Protection cycle for rear axles, front axles and front suspensions".
17-1600-A002 "Protection cycle for uncoated sheet steel fuel tanks and aluminium coated
sheet steel fuel tanks".
17-1600-A003 "Coating procedure for the protection of iron transmissions and associated
flange for connection to propeller shaft".
17-1600-A004 "Coating procedure for the protection of propeller shafts and associated
coupling flange (Transmission-to-Axle)".
10-4152 "Protection classes for vehicle metal parts".

2 SPECIFICATIONS IN ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS

Component drawings and associated IVECO STDs shall specify for the components made of
pre­coated (galvanized, etc.) sheet:

2.1 SURFACE PROTECTION as per IVECO STD. 18­1600 CLASS ... (A , B , B1, B2, B3, B4, C, D)

and for the components made of normal steel:

2.2 BREAK CORNERS as per Table II of IVECO STD. 18-1600 and SURFACE PROTECTION as per
IVECO STD. 18-1600 CLASS ... (A , B , B1, B2, B3, B4, C, D)

In addition to the above, where frame cross member interface sealing is required, the following
shall be specified:

2.3 SEAL CROSS MEMBER INTERFACES SHOWN ON DWG, AS SPECIFIED IN PARA. 8 OF IVECO
STD. 18-1600.

NOTE : For chassis frame protection designation shall be called up on all drawings of individual
components (side members, cross members).

agents.
check - body fasteners (nut, bolts, screws,
washers), etc.

[2] B Chassis and parts thereof, including fasten­

Medium corrosion protection
ers.
Mainly structural parts in view directly Components under radiator grille (class B).
[1] [2] B2 exposed to atmospheric agents.
External cab access steps.

[1] [2] B3 Chassis and parts thereof, including fasten­

High corrosion protection
ers.
Mainly structural parts in view directly Components under radiator grille.
[2] B4 exposed to atmospheric agents.
External cab access steps.
Mainly structural parts in view directly Rear axles and front axles only
B1
exposed to atmospheric agents.
Hidden parts directly exposed to atmospheric
C Engine and components thereof
agents.
Parts not directly exposed to atmospheric Pedal assemblies, Seat frames, Fasteners,
D
agents. etc., installed inside cab.

NOTE: The sub-classes S1B - S2A -S2B - S2C have been suppressed. For transcoding refer to
corresponding classes B, A, B, C as shown in Table I above.

[1] Parts must only be supplied with cataphoretic coating (e-coat) or rustproofed (Table III). Top
coat shall be applied during the chassis finishing process. On cast iron components (or with
high superficial rugosity) must be prescribed the class B4, the class B3 must be applied only
on the machined surfaces.

[2] Threads must be supplied only with cataphoretic coating (e-coat), instead have to be masked
if the diameter is ≤ M6.

3.1 Only for parts protected with paint

3.1.1 Where Engineering documents specify Classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 20 no longer envisaged by this
STANDARD, the following shall apply:
IVECO STD. 18-1600 - Classes 1, 2, 3, 4 = Class B
IVECO STD. 18-1600 - Class 10 = Class A
IVECO STD. 18-1600 - Class 20 = Class D

3.2 General notes

3.2.1 Areas without protection are not permitted on ferrous materials.
For machined contact faces call up on drawing adequate even protection coating, free from surface
defects (e.g. cataphoresis, coatings as per Table IV).

3.2.2 Light alloy parts can be not protected (it depends if the aluminum alloys has corrosion resistance
properties). Otherwise protection should be required, specify it on the drawing (following the
indications of Table IV).
Protection is not required on brass or copper parts.

− pre-treatment;
− cataphoretic coating or rustproofing;
− baking;
− application of abrasion protective coating (I.S. 18−1654);
− baking;
− applying of top coat if colour is indicated (IC), the choice between a single-component product (130 oC) or two-component product (80 oC) depends on the type of abrasion

8.1 Apply bead of black polyurethane single component sealant to all part seams specified on
drawing.
There shall be no discontinuities, especially on corners, in order to prevent the inception of
corrosion spots in the long term. Brush touching-up shall not be acceptable.

8.2 Wipe any smeared surfaces adjacent to the seams using cleaning solvent moistened cloth.
