Description

80° Scribe Angle Guide for Corrosion Testing – C175010

The C175010 80° Scribe Angle Guide positions a compatible carbide cutting insert at approximately 80° in the direction of the scribe. The guide helps laboratories produce controlled, repeatable manual scribes while reducing operator-to-operator variation.

Ford BI 169-01 specifies that the cutting edge be held at approximately 80° in the direction of the scribe while remaining 90° to the plane of the test panel. The C175010 helps maintain the 80° directional angle while the operator keeps the assembled tool perpendicular to the panel surface.

When combined with the C175000 Laboratory Scribe Tool Handle and the C175005 Carbide Scribe Tool Tip, the C175010 creates a complete 80° corrosion scribing tool assembly.

Features

• Maintains an approximately 80° cutting-tip angle in the direction of the scribe
• Helps improve repeatability between operators
• Supports consistent manual scribe geometry
• Designed for laboratory corrosion testing
• Compatible with Auto Technology’s modular scribing system
• Reusable with replaceable carbide cutting tips

Ideal Applications

• Scribing coated test panels before corrosion exposure
• Scribing production parts before Ford L-467 testing
• Ford BI 169-01 corrosion propagation evaluations
• Salt spray and salt fog testing
• Cyclic corrosion testing
• Automotive and OEM coating qualification

Complete Your 80° Corrosion Scribing Tool

The C175010 80° Scribe Angle Guide is the angle-control component of Auto Technology’s modular corrosion scribing system. To assemble and use the complete 80° scribing tool, you will also need:

• Laboratory Scribe Tool Handle – C175000 – Provides the reusable grip and support for the complete assembly.
• Carbide Scribe Tool Tip – C175005 – The replaceable cutting insert that produces the scribe through the coating to the substrate.

Together, the handle, C175010 80° angle guide, and carbide cutting tip form a complete handheld corrosion scribing tool. All three components are required to assemble the complete 80° tool.

Important Orientation Requirement

The C175010 controls the approximate 80° angle in the direction of the scribe. During use, the operator must also maintain the cutting tip at approximately 90° to the plane of the panel, as required by the applicable scribing procedure.
