1、Designation: B 733 04Standard Specification forAutocatalytic (Electroless) Nickel-Phosphorus Coatings onMetal1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 733; 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers requirements

3、 for autocatalytic(electroless) nickel-phosphorus coatings applied from aqueoussolutions to metallic products for engineering (functional) uses.1.2 The coatings are alloys of nickel and phosphorus pro-duced by autocatalytic chemical reduction with hypophosphite.Because the deposited nickel alloy is

4、a catalyst for the reaction,the process is self-sustaining. The chemical and physicalproperties of the deposit vary primarily with its phosphoruscontent and subsequent heat treatment. The chemical makeupof the plating solution and the use of the solution can affect theporosity and corrosion resistan

5、ce of the deposit. For moredetails, see ASTM STP 265 (1)2and Refs (2) (3) (4) and (5).1.3 The coatings are generally deposited from acidic solu-tions operating at elevated temperatures.1.4 The process produces coatings of uniform thickness onirregularly shaped parts, provided the plating solution ci

6、rcu-lates freely over their surfaces.1.5 The coatings have multifunctional properties, such ashardness, heat hardenability, abrasion, wear and corrosionresistance, magnetics, electrical conductivity provide diffusionbarrier, and solderability. They are also used for the salvage ofworn or mismachined

7、 parts.1.6 The low phosphorus (2 to 4 % P) coatings are microc-rystalline and possess high as-plated hardness (620 to 750 HK100). These coatings are used in applications requiring abra-sion and wear resistance.1.7 Lower phosphorus deposits in the range between 1 and3 % phosphorus are also microcryst

8、alline. These coatings areused in electronic applications providing solderability, bond-ability, increased electrical conductivity, and resistance tostrong alkali solutions.1.8 The medium phosphorous coatings (5 to 9 % P) are mostwidely used to meet the general purpose requirements of wearand corros

9、ion resistance.1.9 The high phosphorous (more than 10 % P) coatingshave superior salt-spray and acid resistance in a wide range ofapplications. They are used on beryllium and titanium parts forlow stress properties. Coatings with phosphorus contentsgreater than 11.2 % P are not considered to be ferr

Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is
