JDM G2, Rust Preventive Compounds, shall not be used for new design and shall not be applied to part
drawings. JDM G2 is no longer adequate for current corrosion preventative requirements due to changes
in the industry and technology.

See JDS-G223 for corrosion resistance requirements for parts used in production. See JDV 9 for service
class corrosion preventative requirements.

JDM G2 is provided on the following pages for interpreting historical JDM G2 designations. Existing
references to JDM G2 should be reviewed and updated on part drawings when the drawings are revised

5. TEST METHODS

Test procedures are outlined below. Where test method is not specified,
the latest ASTM method shall apply.

5.1 PREPARATION OF PANELS FOR EXPOSURE TESTS

5.1 .I Panels shall be mild steel (JDM 1OIO- 1020) approximately 2.00 x 4.00 x
,125 inch (50 x 100 x 3 mm) with burrs removed and corners rounded.

5.1.2 Surface grind to 25 microinch (.6 micrometer) finish in lengthwise

direction, demagnetize and wipe off surface with lint-free cloth or tissue.

5.13 Hand polish with 240-grit aluminum oxide cloth in the lengthwise
direction to a IO-20 microinch (.25-.5 micrometer) finish. Do not use emery
or “wet or dry” cloth or paper.

Note: If a to-20 microinch (.25- .5 micrometer} finish can be achieved with

surface grinding, this step may be omitted.

5.1.4 Wipe off superficial dust with a lint-free cloth or tissue and polish free
of stains.

5.15 Dip successively in fresh, hot VM&P naphtha and boiling anhydrous .
methanol. Allow panel to remain in methanol at least 10 seconds to bring
panel up to temperature.

5. TEST METHODS (continued)

51.6 Permit panel to dry without wiping and preserve in a desiccator, using
panel on the day of preparation.

5.2 APPLICATION OF RUST PREVENTIVE FOR EXPOSURE TESTS

52.1 Store compound for at least 16 hours at room temperature.

52.2 Agitate by shaking can 90 percent full for one minute.

52.3 Skim off air bubbles as required and suspend panel vertically in the
compound for one minute.

5.2.4 Withdraw and allow panel to dry 24 hours.

5.3 HUMIDITY CABINET EXPOSURE TEST-ASTM D- 1748.

5.4 COVERAGE
Weigh a cleaned steel panel 2.75 x 5.88 x ,040 inches (70 x 150 x 1 mm) and
record weight. Dip panel vertically into the rust preventive compound and
withdraw manually, allow to dry 48 hours: panel shall be weighed again and
the coverage computed by the following formula:

Sp Gr x 3782 x % Non-Volatile
Coverage in so ft/gaI =
Increase in weight of panel (grams) x 4.3.63”’
(So ft/gat x .0246 = m2/l)

Sp Gr x 1000 x % Non-Volatile
Coverage in m2/1 =
Increase in weight of panel (grams) x 46.7’*’

(1) 4.363 = No. panels lft2

(2) 46.7 = No. panels lm2

5.5 FILM THICKNESS

The panel used for the determination of coverage may be used to determine
average film thickness by use of the following formula:
Average Film 3;; 1000 x Increase in wt of panel (grams) x .061
Thickness in Mils Sp Gr of Non-Volatile x area of panel (so. in.)
or
= 61 x Increase in Weight (grams)

When the specific gravity of the non-volatile matter is assumed to be .95,

. the
formula may be simplified as follows:
Film Thickness in Mils = Weight Increase x 1.95
* Film Thickness in pm = Weight Increase x 49.2

5.6 NON-VOLATILE MATTER

Determine by weighing approximately five grams of the rust preventive com-
pound into a tared shallow dish and drying for four hours in a natural draft
oven held at 225 r 4 F (107 2 2 C). This dish shall be cooled and weighed the
same day. The residue left shalf be reported as the percent non-volatile.

5.7 TACK-FREE TIME

The tack-free time shall be considered the time required to achieve a condition
where a piece of 16 pound (7.3 kg) bond paper”) can be applied flat on the
film and twisted 45 degrees while using light finger pressure without disturbing
the film or having the paper discolored. The panel shali Se prepared in accord-
ance with Section 5.2,

5.8 WATER DISPLACEMENT TEST

A 2.00 x 4.00 x .125 inch (50 x 100 x 3 mm) test panel cleaned in accordance
with Section 5.1 shall be wet with six drops of distilled water and immersed
in a beaker containing distilled water and 1.00 inch (25 mm) layer of the rust
preventive. drained for 24 hours. and placed in the humidity cabinet for 100
hours at 120 of 2 F (49 ? l”C).There shall be no rusting in the area of the water
drops.

5.9 FINGERPRINT SUPPRESSION TEST

A stock solution shall first be made up as follows:
Sodium Chloride 3.5 g
Urea *5 9
Lactic Acid, 85% strength 2.0 g
Water 62.5 g
Methanol to make 500 ml
(1) 16 pound (7.3 kg) bond = 16 pound (7.3 kg) per 500 sheets 17 x 22 inches
(430 x 560 mm) in size.

5. TEST METHODS (continued)

Two panels 2.00 x 4.00 x .125 inch (50 x 100 x 3 mm) prepared in accordance
with Section 5.1 shall be contaminated with one drop of this solution. They
shall then be placed in an oven 250 2 4 F (121 of=2°C) and left to dry for five
minutes. The panels shall be removed, allowed to cool to room temperature,
and sloshed in the fingerprint remover for 2 l/2 minutes, allowed to drain
for 24 hours and placed in the humidity cabinet for 24 hours at 120 -C 2 F
(49 2 1“C). If rusting occurs on the fingerprint area in 24 hours or less, it shall
be cause for rejection.

5.10 TEST FOR ACID NUMBER

510.1 Weigh a 2 gram sample (to .I milligram) into a 125 ml Erlenmeyer

flask.

5.10.2 Dissolve the sample in 25 ml of isopropanol and add several drops

of phenolphthalein indicator.

5.10.3 Titrate with .05 normal sodium hydroxide solution to a pink-end point.

5.10.4 Calculate the acid number using the following formula:

ml NaOH x Normality x 56.1

Acid Number =
Weight of Sample (grams)

5.11 TEST FOR VOLATILE MATTER

5.11.1 In duplicate, weigh approximately 20 grams of sample (to 1.0 milii-

gram) into a Petri dish having a diameter of 3.00 inches (75 mm).

5.11.2 Place sample in a forced draft oven and hold at 250 2 2 F (121 f 1 “C)
for exactly 3 hours.

5.11.3 After sample has cooled to room temperature, reweigh.

5.11.4 Calculate percent volatile matter.

5.11.5 Retain sample for viscosity and acid number tests.

5.12 TEST FOR VAPOR-PHASE PROTECTION

5.12.1 Test panels shall be of the same type and prepared in the same manner
as described in Section 5.1. They shall, however, be 2.00 x 3.00 x .125 inch
(50 x 75 x 3) with hole in the top of the 2.00 inch (50 mm) edge for convenience
in hanging in the test cell.

5.12.3 Weigh 2.5 grams of sample onto a small watch glass.

5.12.4 Place the watch glass in a 3.50 x 4.00 inch (90 x 100 mm) sctewtop,
wide mouth jar, 16 ounces (0.45 kg). The cardboard innerlinet in the jar cap
shall be removed and repiaced with 2 layers of filter paper. Fresh paper must
be used with each test and the jars cleaned and rinsed with hot water before
each test.

512.5 Pour 50 ml of distilled water over the watch glass and swirl to insure
uniform mixing.

5.12.6 Immediately insert the test panel which has been hung on a monel
hook in the jar lid. Care should be exercised that the liquid does not touch
the panel.

512.7 Subject the jar to the following conditions:

1 401
(a) 16 hours at 130 2 5 F (54 t 3°C) or overnight.
(b) 6 hours at 40 -c 5 F (4 2 3°C).
(c) 18 hours at *130 c 5 F (54 t 3%).

5.12.8 Stains removable by wiping with absorbent tissue and naphtha will
not be counted. The material has failed if more than three rust spots appear
on the panel, or if one or more rust spots one millimeter in diameter or larger
appear.

5.13 IMMERSION CORROSION TEST

5.13.1 Test specimens 1.00 x 2.00 inches (25 x 50 mm) of SAE 329 Aluminum,
