16、ium on ferrous metals, aluminum and aluminum alloys, titanium and titanium alloys and other metals for one or more of the following purposes: The production of wear-resistant surfaces. Wear resistance coupled with corrosion resistance. The reclamation of engineering components. This Standard represe

17、nts a “compositing” and replacement of three previous Standards, AMS03-14/Def Stan 03-14 Issue 3, Def Stan 03-31 Issue 1 and Def Stan 02-870 Issue 2. For technical and economic reasons, early and close liaison between designers, manufacturers, electrodepositors and inspectors is essential. As it is

18、virtually impossible to test the adhesion of chromium coatings in a non-destructive manner, integrity of workmanship is especially important and there is clear need for careful control at each stage of processing - including visual inspection for cleanliness of the surface immediately before electro

19、deposition. TYPES OF CHROMIUM COATINGS The character of a chromium plate (e.g., hardness, crack pattern) can vary substantially depending largely on the chemistry of the electrodeposition bath. For instance, the presence of cracks in hard chromium coating is essentially an inherent feature of the pr

20、ocess but the detailed crack pattern (and linked properties such as hardness, wear resistance and corrosion behavior) is very much dependent upon the process chemistry. The background and guidelines relating to the various types of hard chromium processes are presented in Annex A. SECTION 2 GENERAL

21、REQUIREMENTS 1. SCOPE This SAE Standard gives guidance for - and specifies the requirements for - the electrodeposition of chromium for engineering purposes. It relates to both new articles and also the reclamation of worn or over-machined components. Chromium electrodeposition undertaken for decora

22、tive purposes is not considered herein. 2. WARNING This section which appeared in DEF STAN 03-14 Issue 4 has been deliberately deleted. 3.

The sequence of manufacturing operations and processes. b. The control parameters and their tolerances for each individual proc

33、ess within the total sequence. 5.2 SIGNIFICANT SURFACE That area of the item, covered or to be covered by the coating, and for which the coating is essential for serviceability and/or appearance. 5.3 SHOT PEENING Impingement of a stream of spherical particles on to the surface to be electrodeposited

34、 in order to produce compressive stresses in the surface regions of the substrate metal. 5.4 TENSILE STRENGTH OF STEELS 5.4.1 Throughout this Standard the tensile strength figures refer to specified maximum tensile strength. Steels shall be categorized according to specified maximum tensile strength

35、 in accordance with Table 1. Where the steel strength is available only as the minimum tensile strength, the equivalent maximum tensile strength category shall be determined from Table 1. Table 1 - Specified minimum/maximum tensile strengths of steels Specified Minimum Tensile Strength, MPa Specifie

36、d Maximum Tensile Strength, MPa Up to 1000 Up to 1100 1001 to 1400 1101 to 1450 1401 to 1800 1451 to 1800 Over 1800 Over 1800 5.4.2 Tensile Strength/Hardness Relationship If no maximum or minimum tensile strength is specified for the steel, hardness values of 310HV, 340HV, 435HV, 450HV and 545HV (as

37、 measured in accordance with BS EN ISO 6507-1) shall be regarded as equivalent to 1000, 1100, 1400, 1450, and 1800 MPa respectively. Steels that have been wholly or partly surface hardened shall be considered as being in the category appropriate to the hardness of the surface hardened layer. 6. INFO

38、RMATION TO BE SUPPLIED TO THE PROCESSOR The following information shall be given on the drawing, contract or order: a. The number of this AMS Material Specification or its superseded Defence Standard. b. For new articles, the specification and metallurgical condition of the basis metal. c. For recla

39、imed components, the specification and metallurgical condition of the basis metal or as much relevant information as is available - including application/operating conditions, e.g., fatigue loading, corrosive environment, etc. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS03-14 Page 7 of 28 d. The significant surface; this

40、may be indicated on the drawing or by a marked sample. e. The process to be used. f. The details of any pre and post-deposition heat treatment. g. The thickness of the coating required or the final dimensions of the finished item - the latter is especially relevant for build-up of worn components wh

41、ere maximum thickness allowed should be specified (see 12.1). h. The details (type and thickness) of any necessary undercoat to be applied. i. The details of any finishing treatment required. j. The final finish of the chromium, e.g., as electrodeposited or ground to a specified surface texture. k.

42、For titanium and its alloys, the preparation for electrodeposition. l. The details of any special requirements (e.g., masking). 7. PROCESS CONTROL 7.1 A Process Control Schedule suitable of achieving the requirements of this Standard shall be prepared by the processing contractor(s) prior to the com

43、mencement of production. 7.2 Details of the coating process, including all preparatory treatments, post coating treatments, processing, significant surfaces, tests and all other processes and treatments shall be included in the Process Control Schedule. 7.3 All stages in the complete Schedule shall

44、follow each other without delay. SECTION 3 PROCESS REQUIREMENTS 8. CONDITION OF SUBSTRATE 8.1 All plastic forming, and heat treatment (excluding post electrodeposition heat treatment) shall be completed before electrodeposition. 8.2 Operations for the removal of metal may be carried out after electr

45、odeposition. 8.3 The significant surface shall be free from harmful defects and, where possible, all edges and re-entrant angles should be rounded. It is particularly important to avoid stress concentration sites such as sharp notches, small radii and sudden changes of section in the design of the i

46、tem because of the tendency of cracks to penetrate the chromium deposit thereby producing stress-raisers, coupled with the difficulty of depositing chromium in re-entrant angles thus accentuating notch effects. 8.4 Although most chromium coatings relevant to this Standard normally require grinding,

47、items on which the chromium coating is not to be ground after electrodeposition shall have an initial surface texture at least as smooth as that required for the finished chromium coating. 8.5 Where more than one type of coating is to be applied on different areas of the same item, the chromium elec

48、trodeposition operation shall normally be the first to be applied. 9. CHROMIUM ELECTRODEPOSITION PROCESS 9.1 Details of a suitable chromium electrodeposition process are given in Annex B and suitable methods of analysis of the electrolyte are given in Annex C. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS03-14 Page 8 of 28

49、 9.2 Any other chromium electrodeposition process (see A.2.2 and A.2.3) may be used provided that the alternative produces a coating at least equivalent to that produced using the standard process in relation to hardness, fatigue properties, freedom from hydrogen embrittlement and protection against corrosion where these are significant to the particular application. 9.3 For items not subject to corrosion, electrodeposition should be c
