Ordering documents shall specify the followinginformation:5.1.1 Title, ASTM designation, and issue date of thisspecification,5.1.2 Alloy and

21、metallurgical condition of the product to bechromium plated,5.1.3 Ultimate tensile strength of the material to be plated,5.1.4 Heat treatment required for stress relief and whether ithas been performed or is required,5.1.5 The significant surfaces if different from the 20-mmball rule (see 3.1.1),5.1

25、oplated for conformance tests as re-quested for preparation, control, inspection, and lot acceptanceunless other arrangements have been made between the pur-chaser and the electroplating facility.6. Coating Requirements6.1 The appearance of the chromium coating on the signifi-cant surfaces of the pr

26、oduct shall be smooth and free of visualdefects such as blisters, pits, roughness, cracks, burneddeposits, uncoated areas, or macrocracking of the deposit thatis visible without magnification. The boundaries of electroplat-ing that cover only a portion of the surface shall, after finishingas indicat

27、ed on the drawing, be free of beads, nodules, jaggededges, or other irregularities that will interfere with thefunctioning of the plated part. Imperfections and variations thatarise from surface conditions of the basis metal (scratches,pores, roll marks, inclusions, etc.) and that persist in the fin

28、ishdespite the observance of good metal finishing practices shallnot be cause for rejection.NOTE 1Applied finishes generally perform better in service when thesubstrate over which they are applied is smooth and free of torn metal,inclusions, pores, and other defects. It is recommended that the speci

29、fi-cations covering the unfinished product provide limits for these defects. Ametal finisher can often remove defects through special treatments such asgrinding, polishing, abrasive blasting, chemical treatments, andelectropolishing, which are not normal in the treatment steps preceding theapplicati

When they are desired,they are the subject of a special agreement between the purchaser and theseller.6.2 In cases where design for maximum fatigue life is aconsideration the parts should be shot peened (see MIL-S-13165C) or given an alternate mechanical tr

31、eatment to com-pressively stress the surface.6.3 Stress Relief Treatment (See headnote at the beginningof this specification.):6.3.1 All steel parts having an ultimate tensile strength of1000 MPa (150 000 psiapproximately 32 HRC) or greater,that may contain residual stress caused by various fabricat

32、ionoperations such as machining, grinding, straightening, or coldforming, will require one of the stress relief heat treatments3Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk, Bldg. 4 Section D, 700Robbins Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19111-5094, Attn: NPODS.B650 95 (2018)2prescribed in Specification

33、 B849 prior to electroplating. In allcases, the duration of heat treatment shall commence from thetime at which the whole of each part attains the specifiedtemperature.6.3.1.1 The treatment selected, of necessity, must be basedupon experience with the part or empirical test data. Therefore,Class SR-

34、0 treatment is provided for parts that the purchaserwishes to exempt from treatment. However, many, if not most,steels with a tensile strength in excess of 1000 MPa willbecome embrittled when plated with chromium. The stressrelief and hydrogen embrittlement relief treatments are essen-tial for the s

35、afe performance of chromium plated itemsfabricated from those steels. Selection of Class SR-0 or ER-0requires thorough knowledge of the embrittlement susceptibil-ity of the specific steel employed. When the purchaser specifiesClass SR-0 or ER-0, the purchaser assumes sole responsibilityfor any embri

36、ttlement failure of the part. The relative suscep-tibility of a steel can be determined by subjecting it to the DiskRupture Test of Test Method F1459. When no stress relieftreatment is specified by the purchaser then Class SR-1 shall beapplied.6.3.2 Parts having surface hardened areas that would suf

37、feran unacceptable reduction in hardness by treatment in accor-dance with Specification B849 shall be heat-treated at a lowertemperature but not less than 130C for a minimum period of8 h. This treatment is applicable for parts made of steel with anactual tensile strength below 1400 MPa. The purchase

38、r mayrequire that the heat-treatment temperature shall not reduce thesurface hardness. Shorter times at higher temperatures may beused, if the resulting loss of surface hardness is acceptable.6.3.3 If stress relief is given after shot peening or other coldworking processes to introduce beneficial co

39、mpressivestresses, the temperature shall not exceed 230C.6.4 Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief:6.4.1 Heat treatment appropriate for the tensile strength ofthe electroplated part (see Specification B850) shall be per-formed to reduce the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. In allcases, the duration of the he

40、at treatment shall commence fromthe time at which the whole part attains the specified tempera-ture. See 6.3.1.1 for important embrittlement relief informationregarding the selection of ER-0. When no embrittlement relieftreatment is specified by the purchaser then Class ER-1 shall beapplied.6.4.2 Be

41、gin the embrittlement relief heat-treatment as soonas practical following the plating process but no longer than 1.5h.6.4.3 Parts or representative specimens shall be tested forcompliance in accordance with 7.5.6.5 ThicknessThe thickness of the coating everywhere onthe significant surface(s) shall c

42、onform to the requirements ofthe specified class as defined in Section 3 (see 7.2).NOTE 2The coating thickness requirements of this specification are aminimum requirement, that is, the coating thickness is required to equal orexceed the specified thickness everywhere on the significant surfaces (see

43、4.1). Variation in the coating thickness from point to point on a coatedarticle is an inherent characteristic of electroplating processes. Therefore,the coating thickness must exceed the specified value at some point on thesignificant surfaces to ensure that the thickness equals or exceeds thespecif

44、ied value at all points. Hence, in most cases, the average coatingthickness on an article will be greater than the specified value; how muchgreater is largely determined by the shape of the article (see PracticeB507) and the characteristics of the electroplating process. In addition, theaverage coat

45、ing thickness on articles will vary from article to articlewithin a production lot. Therefore, if all of the articles within a productionlot are to meet the thickness requirement, the average coating thickness forthe production lot as a whole will be greater than the average necessary toensure that

46、a single article meets the requirement. This may not apply toparts that are ground after plating.6.6 AdhesionThe coating shall be sufficiently adherent tothe basis metal to pass the adhesion test specified (see 7.3).These tests are, with the possible exception of the heat quenchtest, all destructive

47、 and therefore, in most cases, should beperformed on test panels.NOTE 3Adhesion may be influenced by the method of pretreating thebase metal and the type of steel used as a basis metal. Helpful informationis given in Practices B177, B183, B242, and B320.6.7 The coating shall be sufficiently free of

48、pores to pass theporosity test specified (see 7.4).6.8 WorkmanshipAdding to (spotting in) or doubleelectroplating, unless evidence of a satisfactory bond isestablished, shall be cause for rejection. Stripping and replatingis permitted but parts having an ultimate tensile strengthgreater than 1000 MP

49、a or a hardness greater than 32 HRC thatare acid stripped shall be rebaked (see 6.3) before plating.Baking after stripping is not necessary if the parts are strippedanodically in an alkaline solution.6.9 Supplemental RequirementsIf parts are electroplatedand subsequently ground to size, the grinding shall be donewith a proper coolant, never dry, and with a sufficiently lightcut to prevent cracking.4Macrocracking, visually observedwithout magnification after grinding, shall be cause for rejec-tion.6.10 PackagingPart(s) plated for the U.S. Governmentand Military, includi
