Ordering Information4.1 To make the application of this specification complete,the purchaser needs to supply the following information to thesupplier in the purchase order or oth
15、er governing document:4.1.1 Class, including a maximum thickness, if appropriate,type, and need for supplemental lubricant (3.1, 3.2, and5.2.4.2).4.1.2 Nature of substrate, for example, high-strength steel,need for stress-relief, and cleaning precautions to be followed(5.2.2).4.1.3 Significant surfa
16、ces (5.3).4.1.4 Requirements and methods of testing for one or moreof the following requirements: need for and type of testspecimens (8.1), composition (8.2), thickness (8.4), adhesion(8.6), and absence of hydrogen embrittlement and the waitingperiod prior to testing and testing loads (8.8) and lubr
17、icatingresistance (S2).4.1.5 Sampling plan for each inspection criterion and re-sponsibility for inspection, if necessary (Section 6 and Supple-mentary Requirement S1).4.1.6 Requirements for certified report of test results (Sec-tion 10).5. Requirements5.1 Nature of FinishThe coating shall be 45 to
18、75 mass %cadmium, the remainder tin.5.2 Process:5.2.1 Stress Relief TreatmentAll steel parts that haveultimate tensile strength of 1000 MPa and above and thatcontain tensile stresses caused by machining, grinding,straightening, or cold forming operation shall be given a stressrelief heat treatment p
19、rior to cleaning and metal deposition.The temperature and time at temperature shall be 190 6 15Cfor a minimum of3hsothat maximum stress relief is obtainedwithout reducing the hardness below the specified minimum.5.2.2 High-strength steels that have heavy oxide or scaleshall be cleaned before applica
20、tion of the coating in accordancewith Guide B242. In general, non-electrolytic alkaline, anodic-alkaline, and some inhibited acid cleaners are preferred toavoid the risk of producing hydrogen embrittlement from thecleaning procedure.5.2.3 For preparation of low-carbon steels, see PracticeB183. For c
21、leaning, useful guidelines are also given in GuideB322.5.2.4 Supplementary Treatments:5.2.4.1 Chromate treatment for Type II shall be done in asolution containing hexavalent chromium. This solution shallproduce a bright or semi-bright continuous, smooth, protectivefilm. This film may have a slight y
22、ellowish or iridescent color.The absence of color shall not be considered evidence of theabsence of a Type II film or as a basis for rejection of the parts.Only post treatments that contain salts that yield films contain-ing hexavalent chromium are permitted as treatments forproducing Type II coatin
23、gs.5.2.4.2 Waxes, lacquers, or other organic coatings may beused to improve lubricity, and the need for them should besupplied in the purchase order or other governing document(4.1.1). Such supplemental lubrication treatments shall not beused to ensure conformance to the salt spray corrosion resista
24、ntrequirements or to enhance the test results of the lead acetatespot test (8.5.2).5.3 Thickness:5.3.1 The thickness of the coating everywhere on thesignificant surfaces shall be at least that of the specified classas defined in 3.1.5.3.2 Significant surfaces are defined as those normallyvisible (di
25、rectly or by reflection) that are essential to theappearance or serviceability of the article when assembled innormal position; or which can be the source of corrosionproducts that deface visible surfaces on the assembled article.When necessary, the significant surfaces shall be indicated onthe draw
26、ing of the article, or by the provision of suitablymarked samples.NOTE 1The thickness of mechanically-deposited coatings varies frompoint-to-point on the surface of a product, characteristically tending to bethicker on flat surfaces and thinner at exposed edges, sharp projections,shielded or recesse
27、d areas, interior corners and holes, with such thinnerareas often being exempted from thickness requirement.5.3.3 When significant surfaces are involved on which thespecified thickness of deposit cannot readily be controlled, thepurchaser and manufacturer should recognize the necessity foreither thi
28、cker or thinner deposits. For example, to reducebuildup in thread roots, holes, deep recesses, bases of angles,and similar areas, the deposit thickness on the more accessiblesurfaces will have to be reduced proportionately.NOTE 2The coating thickness requirement of this specification is aminimum req
29、uirement; that is, the coating thickness is required to equal orexceed the specified thickness everywhere on the significant surfaces.Variation in the coating thickness from point to point on a coated articleis an inherent characteristic of mechanical deposition processes. There-fore, the coating th
30、ickness will have to exceed the specified value at somepoints on the significant surfaces to ensure that the thickness equals orexceeds the specified value at all points. Thus, in most cases, the averagecoating thickness on an article will be greater than the specified value;how much greater is larg
31、ely determined by the shape of the article and thecharacteristics of the deposition process. In addition, the average coatingthickness on articles will vary from article to article within a productionlot. Therefore, if all of the articles in a production lot are to meet thethickness requirement, the
32、 average coating thickness for the production lotas a whole will be greater than the average necessary to ensure that asingle article meets the requirement.5.4 AdhesionThe cadmium-tin coating shall be suffi-ciently adherent to the basis metal to pass the tests specified in8.6.5.5 Corrosion Resistanc
33、e:5.5.1 The presence of corrosion products visible to theunaided eye at normal reading distance at the end of thespecified test period as stated in Table 1 shall constitute failure,except that corrosion products at the edges of specimens shallnot constitute failure. Slight “wisps” of white corrosion
34、, asopposed to obvious accumulations, shall be acceptable.NOTE 3The hours given in Table 1 are the minimums required toguarantee satisfactory performance. Longer periods before the appearanceof white corrosion products and rust are possible, but salt spray resistancedoes not vary in exact proportion
35、 with increased plating thickness. Thehours given for Type II reflect the added protection of chromate treatmentswithout requiring impractical testing periods.B635 00 (2009)25.5.2 There are no requirements for corrosion of base metalsother than steels.NOTE 4Mechanical deposition is exclusively a bar
36、rel-finishing pro-cess. It is recognized that mechanical deposition on parts may thereforeproduce surfaces which have a different characteristic from those on partswhich are finished exclusively by racking. Similarly, corrosion testing ofactual parts may produce different results from those on test
37、panels. Saltspray requirements that are appropriate to indicate the technical qualitywith which a process is carried out may be impractical for acceptance ofactual parts. In such cases the purchaser should indicate his requirementson the purchase order (see 4.1.4).NOTE 5In many instances, there is n
38、o direct relation between theresults of an accelerated corrosion test and the resistance to corrosion inother media, because several factors that influence the progress ofcorrosion, such as the formation of protective films, vary greatly with theconditions encountered. The results obtained in the te
39、st should not,therefore, be regarded as a direct guide to the corrosion resistance of thetested materials in all environments where these materials may be used.Also, performance of different materials in the test cannot always be takenas a direct guide to the relative corrosion resistance of these m
40、aterials inservice.5.6 Absence of Hydrogen Embrittlement Steel springs andother high-strength steel parts subject to flexure shall be heldfor a minimum of 48 h at room temperature after coating,before being loaded, flexed, or used. Such parts shall be freefrom hydrogen embrittlement. When specified
41、in the purchaseorder, freedom from embrittlement shall be determined by thetest specified herein (see 4.1.4 and 8.8).5.7 WorkmanshipThe coating shall be uniform in appear-ance and substantially free of blisters, pits, nodules, flaking andother defects that can adversely affect the function of thecoa
42、ting. The coating shall cover all surfaces as stated in 5.3,including thread roots, thread peaks, corners, recesses, andedges. The coating shall not be stained or discolored through-out to an extent that would adversely affect appearance as afunctional requirement. However, superficial staining that
43、 re-sults from rinsing or drying, and variations in color or lustershall not be cause for rejection.NOTE 6The nature of the mechanical plating process is such thatcoatings characteristically will not be as smooth or as bright as someelectroplated coatings.5.8 Surface DefectsDefects and variations in
44、 appearancein the coating that arise from surface conditions of the substrate(scratches, pores, roll marks, inclusions, etc.) and that persist inthe finish despite the observance of good metal finishingpractices shall not be cause for rejection.NOTE 7Applied finishes generally perform better in serv
45、ice when thesubstrate over which they are applied is smooth and free of torn metal,inclusions, pores, and other defects. It is recommended that the specifi-cations covering the unfinished product provide limits for these defects. Ametal finisher can often remove defects through special treatments, s
46、uchas grinding, polishing, abrasive blasting, chemical treatments, and elec-tropolishing. However, these are not normal in the treatment stepspreceding the application of the finish. When desired, they must bespecified on the purchase order (see 4.1.2).6. Sampling6.1 The purchaser and producer are u
47、rged to employ statis-tical process control in the coating process. Properly per-formed, statistical process control will assure coated productsof satisfactory quality and will reduce the amount of accep-tance inspection. The sampling plan used for the inspection ofthe quality coated article shall b
48、e agreed upon between thepurchaser and producer.6.1.1 When a collection of coated articles (inspection lot,see 6.2) is examined for compliance with the requirementsplaced on the articles, a relatively small number of the articles(sample) is selected at random and is inspected. The inspectionlot is t
49、hen classified as complying with the requirements basedon the results of the inspection of the sample. The size of thesample and the criteria for compliance are determined by theapplication of statistics. The procedure is known as samplinginspection. Test Method B602, Guide B697, and Test MethodB762 contain sampling plans that are designed for samplinginspection of coatings.6.1.2 Test Method B602 contains four sampling plans, threefor use with tests that are nondestructive and one when they aredestructive. Test Method B602 provides a default plan if one isnot sp
