2 Designation
The coating requirements are designated according to RES10526 by the standard number followed
by the category. The following five categories specify the acceptable coatings based on the
appearance and corrosion protection requirements of the application. Drawing callout examples are
provided for each category.
Category C - Tubing that will not be top coated, will not be visible on fully assembled
tractor, but located where external surfaces may be subjected to corrosive materials
Category D - Chassis related tubing that will not be top coated as part of a higher level assembly, but
will be visible
Category E - Cab related tubing that will not be top coated as part of a higher level assembly, but will
be visible
3 Requirements
If JDS-D85 or JDS-G253 is specified on a print, it shall supersede the RES10526 specification for
biodiesel or ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel) steel lines.
If JDM F19 is specified on a print, it shall supersede the RES10526 specification for all hydraulic
threaded tube assemblies.
Compatibility
Any RES 10526 coating shall meet John Deere safety and environmental requirements and shall be
compatible with the tractor fluid carried by the tubing.
Appearance
Any RES 10526 coating shall not affect subsequent finish coat of paint, if applicable, such that it
would cause it to not meet the requirements of JDM F17 or RWS1330.01.
All category D and category E coatings must meet RWS1330.01 class C guidelines.
Coating Process Options
The coatings shall meet the requirements specified by the standards and designations provided in
Table 1. The coating to be used must be specified and agreed upon during the DPAR process. The
JDS-G223 supplier change request process shall be used to change coating once one has been
established.

Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal (Zn-5Al-MM) Alloy-Galvanization + Aluminum-Rich Epoxy
Paint Topcoat Combination Coating
Coating Material – The ingot form of the coating material used in continuous hot-dip Zn-5Al-MM
alloy-coated tubing shall meet the chemical composition limits specified in ASTM B750. The
tubing shall subsequently be coated with Aluminum-rich epoxy paint topcoat.
Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance – The Zn-5Al-MM alloy + Al-rich epoxy paint-coated
tubing shall appear gray to silver in color, and shall be free from uncoated areas and exhibit
uniform, continuous coverage, and be free of imperfections
Adhesion – The Zn-5Al-MM alloy + Al-rich epoxy paint -coated tubing when tested in accordance
with ASTM D522 shall be capable of passing the mandrel bend test about a 1 inch mandrel.
Corrosion Resistance - When tested in accordance with ASTM B117 or ISO 9227, significant
surfaces of the as-processed Zn-5Al-MM alloy + Al-rich epoxy paint-coated tubing shall show
neither sacrificial coating corrosion products (except at corners or edges) after a minimum of 120
hours nor base metal corrosion after a minimum of 144 hours of continuous neutral salt spray.
The following shall be provided as part of each PPAP:
a) A certificate of analysis for the ingot form of the coating material used in continuous hot-dip
Zn-5Al-MM alloy coating certifying the requirements of ASTM B750.
b) A statement identifying that the parts were subsequently coated with Aluminum-rich epoxy
paint topcoat after continuous hot-dip coating.
c) A statement identifying the coating appearance, workmanship, and color of the coated article.
d) A statement identifying coating adhesion test method, the standard to which the part was
tested, a statement identifying test results, and clear indication of pass or fail results.
e) A statement identifying Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) test method, the standard to which the part
was tested and as-processed Neutral Salt Spray data values or results with clear indication of
appearance of sacrificial coating corrosion and base metal corrosion per 24 hour period of
testing.
