SCOPE 1.1 Purpose This specification covers the requirements for electrodeposited chromium plating. 1.2 Application This plating has been used typically as a decorative finish, to improve corrosion resistance, to increase wear resistance, to extend tool and die li

13、fe, to maintain accuracy of gauges, and to recondition worn or undersized parts, but usage is not limited to such applications. While this document is primarily intended to address electrodeposition on steels, the process has been performed on aluminum, heat resistant alloys, high nickel alloys, sup

14、er alloys, and other metals. The requirements of this specification are equivalent to AMS-QQ-320 but generally more stringent than AMS2406A. Thin Dense Chrome plating should be specified by reference to AMS2438. 1.2.1 Restriction Application of chromium plating to steel parts having a hardness of 48

15、 HRC (ultimate tensile strength of 238 ksi 1641 MPa) or higher shall not be performed unless authorized by the design documentation of the cognizant engineering organization. (See 4.2.3.1 and 8.4.2.) Application of chromium plating for repair of steel parts having a hardness of 48 HRC(ultimate tensi

16、le strength of 238 ksi (1641 Mpa) or higher requires a special design evaluation and shall not be performed unless specific approval has been received from the cognizant engineering organization 1.3 Safety-Hazardous Materials While the materials, methods, applications and processes described or refe

17、renced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials, to take precautionary measur

18、es to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved. 1.4 Classification 1.4.1 Classes Electrodeposited chromium plating shall be one of the following classes. Class 1 - Corrosion protective plating. See 8.4.3. Class 2 - Engineering plating. See 8.4.4. 1.4.2 Appearance Class 1 plating shall

19、have one of the following types of lusters, as specified. Type I - Bright finish Type II - Satin finish. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The issue of the following documents in effect on the date of the purchase order forms a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. The supplier may work t

20、o a subsequent revision of a document unless a specific document issue is specified. When the referenced document has been cancelled and no superseding document has been specified, the last published issue of that document shall apply.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Material 3.1.1 Basis Metal Quality The basis metal (parts) shall be submitted t

28、o the plating processor free from visible defects such as blemishes, prior pitting from corrosion, nicks, scratches, burrs or other geometrical or base metal defects that could be detrimental to the appearance or performance of the plating. The plating processor shall perform such cleaning and plati

29、ng procedures as necessary to yield a deposit that conforms to the specified requirements. 3.1.2 Parts dimensions should be such that, after plating, specified tolerances will be met (See 8.2). 3.1.3 Peening When specified, parts shall be peened prior to plating. Unless otherwise specified, such pee

30、ning shall be accomplished on all surfaces for which the plating is required and on all immediately adjacent surfaces that contain notches, fillets or other abrupt changes of section size (See 8.4.1). Peening shall be performed by or on behalf of the part fabricator, unless specifically delegated to

31、 the plating processor 3.2 Preparation 3.2.1 Stress Relief Treatment Unless otherwise specified, steel parts 34 HRC (ultimate tensile strength 152 ksi 1048 MPa) and higher and that have been machined, ground, cold formed, or cold straightened after heat treatment shall be cleaned to remove surface c

32、ontamination and thermally stress relieved before plating. Acid cleaning shall not be used. See 8.4.2.3. (Residual tensile stresses have been found to be damaging during electrofinishing.) Temperatures to which parts are heated shall be such that maximum stress relief is obtained while still maintai

33、ning hardness of parts within drawing limits. Unless otherwise specified, the following treatment temperatures and times shall be used: 3.2.1.1 For parts, excluding nitrided parts, having a hardness of 55 HRC and above, including carburized and induction hardened parts, stress relieve at 275 F 25 (1

34、35 C 14) for 5 to 10 hours. 3.2.1.2 For parts having a hardness less than 55 HRC, stress relieve at 375 F 25 (191 C 14) for a minimum of 4 hours. Nitrided parts fall into this category. Higher temperatures shall be used only when specified or approved by the cognizant engineering organization. 3.2.1

35、.3 For peened parts: If stress relief temperatures above 375 F (191 C) are elected, the stress relieve shall be performed prior to peening or the cognizant engineering organization shall be consulted and shall approve the stress relief temperature. 3.2.2 Cleaning The plating shall be applied over a

36、surface free from water breaks. The cleaning procedure shall not produce pitting, intergranular attack, or hydrogen embrittlement of the basis metal and shall preserve dimensional requirements. See 8.4.2. 3.2.3 Electrical Contact Points For parts which are to be plated all over, locations shall be a

37、cceptable to purchaser. For parts which are not to be plated all over, locations shall be in areas on which plating is not required. 3.2.4 Aluminum alloys shall be zincate treated in accordance with ASTM B 253 or other method acceptable to purchaser prior to plating. SAE AMS2460A Page 5 of 14 3.3 Pr

38、ocedure 3.3.1 Parts shall be plated by electrodeposition of chromium plating onto a properly prepared surface. Procedures and operating parameters shall be adequate to meet the properties and quality requirements of this specification. 3.3.2 Underplating Unless otherwise specified, the following app

39、ly: 3.3.2.1 Class 1 plating shall be applied over an intermediate plating of nickel in accordance with AMS2403 or AMS-QQ-N-290 on steel, zinc, and copper alloys. 3.3.2.2 Class 2 plating shall be deposited directly on the basis metal without a preliminary plating of another metal, except parts made f

40、rom maraging steel, or corrosion resistant steel, or aluminum alloy may receive a preliminary deposit of nickel or other suitable metal to a thickness not greater than 0.0002 inch (5 m). 3.3.2.3 Underplate shall not be substituted for any portion of the specified chromium plate thickness. 3.3.3 Plat

41、ing re-start procedures, if used, shall be approved by the cognizant engineering organization. See 4.4.3. 3.3.4 Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief (Baking) Hydrogen embrittlement relief baking applies only to steel alloys unless otherwise specified by the cognizant engineering authority. At the option of

42、 the processor, hydrogen embrittlement relief baking may be performed on other families of alloys. If performed on other alloy families, all hydrogen embrittlement relief baking operations shall be documented. Hydrogen embrittlement relief baking shall be in accordance with AMS2759/9, except as show

43、n in Table 1. Depending on the metallurgical condition of the parts at time of plating (i.e., alloy, hardness, prior heat treatment - carburized, induction hardened, etc.), the cognizant engineering authority may elect to prescribe hydrogen embrittlement relief baking temperatures and times differen

44、t from those shown in Table 1. TABLE 1 - HYDROGEN EMBRITTLEMENT RELIEF (BAKING) REQUIREMENTS (1)Ultimate Tensile Strength Inch/Pound Units Ultimate Tensile Strength SI Units Hardness Time in Hours at 375 oF (191 oC) 160 ksi to 182 ksi, excl. 1103 MPa to 1255 MPa, excl. 36 to 39 HRC 3 182 ksi to 221

For high strength steels 40 HRC (ultimate tensile strength 182 ksi 1255 MPa) and higher, it may be beneficial, and the processor is permitt

46、ed, to extend the baking time to 23 hours to ensure complete relief from hydrogen embrittlement. 3.4 Properties The plating shall conform to the following requirements: 3.4.1 Thickness Thickness shall be as specified on the drawing, determined in accordance with any of the following methods as appli

47、cable: ASTM B 487, ASTM B 499, ASTM B 504, ASTM B 556, ASTM B 567, ASTM B 568, ASTM B 748, ASTM B 764 or by other method acceptable to the purchaser. NASM1312-12 may be used for thickness measurement of plated fasteners. ASTM B 556 (spot test) may be used for Class 1 plating, when a destructive proc

SAE AMS2460A Page 6 of 14 3.4.1.1 All surfaces of the part, except those which cannot be touched by a sphere 0.75 inch (19 mm) in diameter, shall be plated to the specified thickness. Unless otherwise specified, surfaces such as holes, recesses, threads and other areas where a c
