Description
Ford Corrosion Scribe Tool Set for BI 169-01 and L-467
The Ford Corrosion Scribe Tool Set brings together the three components needed to assemble a handheld tool for scribing coated test panels and production parts before corrosion exposure. It is intended for laboratories, automotive suppliers, coating manufacturers, and quality departments preparing specimens for Ford corrosion procedures.
The assembled tool uses a replaceable carbide cutting tip, a reusable handle, and an 80° angle guide to help the operator produce controlled, repeatable scribes through the coating to the metal substrate.
Three Components for a Complete Scribing Tool
Reusable Scribe Tool Handle
The C175000 Scribe Tool Handle provides the reusable body and grip for the assembled scribing tool.
80° Scribe Angle Guide
The C175010 80° Scribe Angle Guide helps position the cutting tip at the approximate angle specified in the direction of travel by Ford BI 169-01.
Carbide Scribe Tool Tip
The C175005 Carbide Scribe Tool Tip is the replaceable cutting insert that creates the scribe through the coating to the substrate.
Included Products
| Component | Part Number | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Scribe tool handle | C175000 | Provides the reusable handheld body for the tool assembly. |
| 80° scribe angle guide | C175010 | Helps maintain the cutting-tip angle in the direction of the scribe. |
| Carbide scribe tool tip | C175005 | Produces the controlled cut through the coating to expose the substrate. |
Used Before Ford L-467 Corrosion Exposure
This tool set can be used to scribe coated panels or parts before subjecting them to corrosion exposure under Ford CETP 00.00-L-467 when the applicable test plan, material specification, engineering requirement, or customer instruction calls for a scribed specimen.
Ford BI 169-01 separately describes the scribing procedure and the subsequent measurement of corrosion propagation from the scribed line. Therefore, users should follow the controlling test specification, part requirement, and laboratory instructions for the required scribe location, orientation, length, and quantity.
Benefits
- Provides the handle, angle guide, and cutting tip needed to assemble the complete tool
- Supports preparation of flat test panels and coated production components
- Helps maintain a repeatable cutting-tip orientation during manual scribing
- Uses a replaceable carbide insert rather than requiring replacement of the entire tool
- Allows each component to be reordered individually when worn, damaged, or lost
- Suitable for automotive corrosion laboratories and coating-evaluation programs
Typical Applications
- Ford BI 169-01 corrosion-propagation evaluations
- Specimen preparation before Ford L-467 corrosion exposure
- Automotive coating qualification and validation
- Scribing painted or coated panels to the metal substrate
- Preparing production parts for cyclic corrosion testing
- Replacement or expansion of laboratory scribing-tool inventories
Important Use Information
Inspect the cutting tip for wear, chipping, or breakage before use. Replace a worn or damaged tip when it can no longer produce the required scribe. The operator remains responsible for maintaining the required tool orientation, reaching the metal substrate, and following the controlling corrosion-test procedure.
