1、Designation: B605 95a (Reapproved 2009)Standard Specification forElectrodeposited Coatings of Tin-Nickel Alloy1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B605; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la

2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the requirements for electrode-posited tin-nickel alloy coatings from aqueous solutions in-ten

3、ded for the corrosion protection of fabricated articles ofiron, steel, zinc-base alloys, copper, and copper alloys. Thecomposition of the alloy remains constant at 65/35 tin-nickel inspite of wide fluctuations in both composition and operatingconditions. The composition corresponds quite closely to

4、anequiatomic ratio, and the process favors the co-deposition oftin and nickel atoms at identical rates.1.2 This specification does not apply to sheet, strip, or wirein the fabricated form. It also may not be applicable to threadedarticles having basic major diameters up to and including 19mm because

5、 of the nonuniformity of thickness that can beexpected on fine threads. However, a decision to use thecoating on such components may be made by the purchaser.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard

6、does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

16、 significant surfacethat portion of a coated articlessurface where the coating is required to meet all the require-ments of the coating specification for that article. Significantsurfaces are those that are essential to the serviceability orfunction of the article, or which can be a source of corros

17、ionproducts or tarnish films that interfere with the function ordesirable appearance of the article. Significant surfaces arethose surfaces that are identified by the purchaser by, forexample, indicating them on an engineering drawing of theproduct or marking a sample item of the product.3.1.3 under

Thethickness of an undercoating is usually greater than 0.8 m.This is in contrast to strikes or flashes, whose thicknesses aregenerally lower.4. Classifications4.1 Coating GradesSix grades of coatin

19、gs, designated byservice condition numbers, are covered by this specification.For each coating grade a coating thickness grade is specified(see Tables 1-3).4.2 Service Condition NumberThe service conditionnumber indicates the severity of exposure for which the gradeof coating is intended.SC5extended

27、, corresponding approximately to the formula SnNi.It is stable at ordinary temperatures but starts to recrystallize at elevatedtemperatures.

The coating isha

32、rd (700HV100). Like many such compounds, it is inherently somewhatbrittle, but if it is free of internal stresses, the brittleness is not sufficientto impair its serviceability or to cause the coating to flake under impact.Because of the brittleness of the tin-nickel, however, it is not possible tof

33、abricate parts by bending coated sheet material, because the compressivestresses in the coating on the inside of the bend usually cause some of thecoating to flake off. To provide serviceability, the coating must bedeposited in a stress-free condition. In addition, it is generally inadvisableto spec

34、ify tin-nickel finish for parts subject to deformation in service.6.2 Basis MetalTin-nickel can be deposited directly onsteel, copper, and copper-base alloys. However, an undercoat-ing of copper can improve performance in some systems andshall be used under the following conditions:6.2.1 On steel, a

35、 copper undercoating with a minimumthickness of 4 m, shall be used for Service Conditions 3, 4,and 5.6.2.2 On copper-zinc alloys, a copper undercoating with aminimum thickness of 4 m shall be used for all serviceconditions to prevent diffusion of the zinc.6.2.3 Zinc-base alloys shall have an underco

36、ating of aminimum of 4 m of copper to prevent diffusion of the zincinto the deposit and to prevent contamination of the electrolytewith zinc.NOTE 3Tin-nickel-coated zinc-alloy diecastings shall never be re-turned for remelting to prevent contamination of the zinc alloy with tin.7. Coating Requiremen

37、ts Coating Requirements7.1 Composition of CoatingThe deposit shall contain65 6 5 % tin, the balance nickel.7.2 Appearance:7.2.1 The coating on all readily visible surfaces shall besmooth, fine grained, continuous, adherent, free of visibleblisters, pits, nodules, indications of burning, excessivebui

38、ldup, staining, and other defects. All tin-nickel coatedarticles shall be clean and undamaged. When necessary,preliminary samples showing the finish shall be supplied forapproval. Where a rack contact mark is unavoidable, itslocation shall be indicated on the article or its drawing.7.2.2 Defects and

39、 variations in appearance in the coatingthat arise from surface conditions of the substrate (scratches,pores, roll marks, inclusions, and the like) and that persist inthe coating despite the observance of good metal finishingpractices shall not be cause for rejection.NOTE 4Coatings generally perform

40、 better in service when the sub-strate over which they are applied is smooth and free of torn metal,inclusions, pores, and other defects. The specifications covering theunfinished product should provide limits for these defects.Ametal finishercan often remove defects through special treatments, such

41、 as grinding,polishing, abrasive blasting, chemical etches, and electropolishing. How-ever, these are not normal in the treatment steps preceding the applicationof the coating. When they are desired, they are the subject of specialagreement between the purchaser and the seller.NOTE 5Proper preparato

42、ry procedures and thorough cleaning areessential to ensure satisfactory adhesion and corrosion resistance perfor-mance of the coating. Materials used for cleaning should not damage thebasis metal, for example, by causing defects such as pits, intergranularattack, stress corrosion cracking, and unwar

43、ranted hydrogen embrittle-ment. It is recommended that the following Practices, where appropriatefor cleaning, be used: B183, B242, B252, B281, and B322.7.3 Thickness:7.3.1 The thickness of the coating everywhere on thesignificant surfaces shall conform to the requirements in Tables1-3 as to minimum

44、 thickness.NOTE 6The thickness of electrodeposited coatings varies from pointto point on the surface of the product. (See Practice B507.) The thicknessis less in interior corners and holes. Such surfaces are often exempt fromthickness requirements. If the full thickness is required in those location

45、s,the electroplater will have to use special techniques that will probablyraise the cost of the process.NOTE 7The coating thickness requirement of this specification is aminimum. Variation in the thickness from point to point on an article andfrom article to article in a production lot is inherent i

46、n electroplating.Therefore, if all of the articles in a production are to meet the thicknessrequirement, the average coating thickness for the production lot as awhole will be greater than the specified minimum.7.4 AdhesionThe coatings shall be adherent to the basismetal when subject to either test,

47、 in accordance with 8.5.2 and8.5.3. There shall be no separation of the coating from thesubstrate.7.5 Integrity of the Coating:7.5.1 Gross Defects/Mechanical Damage The coatingsshall be free of mechanical damage, large pores, and similargross defects. For some applications this requirement may berel

48、axed to allow for a small number of such defects (per unitarea), especially if they are outside the significant surfaces.7.5.2 PorosityAlmost all as-plated electrodeposits containsome porosity. The amount of porosity that may be tolerabledepends on the severity of the environment that the article is

49、likely to encounter during service or storage. If the pores arefew in number or away from significant surfaces, their pres-ence can often be tolerated. Such acceptance (or pass-fail)criteria shall be part of the product specification for theparticular article or coating requiring the porosity test (see 8.6for porosity test methods).7.6 Pre-Treatments of Iron and Steel for Reducing the Riskof Hydrogen EmbrittlementParts that are made of steels withultimate tensile strengths of 1000 MPa (hardness of 31 HRC)or greater that have been machined, gro
