24、wings:5.1.1 Title, ASTM designation number, and date of issue of this standard specification,5.1.2 Deposit by classification including Class, Type, and Grade (see 4.1, 4.2, 4.3),5.1.3 Composition and metallurgical condition of the substrate to be coated,5.1.4 Location of significant surfaces (see 3.

25、2.1),5.1.5 Heat treatment for stress relief, whether it has been performed by purchaser or is required (see 6.7),5.1.6 Heat treatment after electroplating, if required (see 6.8),5.1.7 Whether or not location of rack marks is to be defined (see 6.3.1),5.1.8 Any requirement for special test specimens

26、(see 8.1.1),5.1.9 Acceptance inspection procedure to be used (see Section 8), and5.1.10 Any requirement for certification (see Section 10).5.1.11 Any other items needing agreement. For the purposes of this specification, prior agreement on the nature of the finishis required as items plated in bulk

27、may differ in appearance from those that are rack plated.6. Coating Requirements6.1 SubstrateThe metal to be plated shall be free of flaws and defects that will be detrimental to the zinc alloy coating. It shallbe subjected to such cleaning, pickling, and electroplating procedures as are necessary t

28、o yield deposits with the desired quality.NOTE 2Proper preparatory procedures and thorough cleaning are essential to ensure satisfactory adhesion and corrosion resistance performance ofthe coating. Materials used for cleaning should not damage the basis metal, for example by causing defects such as

29、pits, intergranular attack or stresscorrosion cracking. It is recommended that the following practices for cleaning, where appropriate, be used: Practices B183 and B320, and Guides B242and B322.B841 1826.1.1 The electroplating shall be applied after all basis metal heat treatments have been complete

30、d.6.2 Nature of Coating:6.2.1 The coating zinc-nickel alloy plate shall consist of a zinc nickel alloy that has a minimum of 5 and maximum 12 masspercent nickel, the balance being position conforming to the requirements called out in section 4.1.6.2.2 The coating shall be produced from an aqueous el

31、ectroplating system that may be either an alkaline or acid formulationas specified by the purchaser.6.2.3 The coating shall have such supplementary conversion coatings as defined in 4.2 and specified in the purchase order.6.3 Appearance:6.3.1 The coating on all ready visible surfaces shall have an a

32、cceptable and characteristic appearance as agreed upon by thepurchaser and seller. The coating shall be uniform insofar as the basis metal will permit. When the article is to be plated on a rack,contact marks may be unavoidable. Location of such marks(s) shall be indicated on the article or its draw

33、ing.6.3.2 Defects and variations in appearance that arise from surface conditions of the substrate (scratches, pores, roll marks,inclusions, and the like) and that persist in the coating despite the observance of good metal finishing practices shall not be causefor rejection. The coating shall be ad

34、herent, free from blisters, pits, discontinuities, or discontinuities, combinations thereof, andshall be free of cracks in the as plated state. Flaking shall be cause for rejection in either the as plated state or after subsequentoperations.NOTE 3These coatings are commonly used in automotive applic

35、ations where subsequent forming, bending, and crimping operations are commonlyperformed. These operations will necessarily detract from the performance of the coatings. While some cracking of coatings will be unavoidable, flakingof the coating after these subsequent operations shall be cause for rej

36、ection.NOTE 4Coatings generally perform better in service when the substrate over which they are applied is smooth and free of torn metal, inclusions, pores,and other defects. The specifications covering the unfinished product should provide limits for these defects. A metal finisher can often remov

37、e defectsthrough special treatments, such as grinding, polishing, abrasive blasting, chemical etches, and electropolishing. However, these are not normal in thetreatment steps preceding the application of the coating. When they are desired, they are the subject of special agreement between the purch

38、aser and theseller.6.4 Thickness:6.4.1 The thickness of the coating everywhere on the significant surfaces as defined in 3.2.1 and shall conform to therequirements of the specified grade as defined in 4.3.NOTE 5The thickness of electrodeposited coatings varies from point to point on the surfaces of

39、a product (see Practice B507). The thickness is lessin interior corners and in holes. Such surfaces are often exempt from thickness requirements. If the full thickness is required in those locations, theelectroplater will have to use special techniques that will probably raise the cost of the proces

40、s.NOTE 6The coating requirement of this specification is a minimum. Variation in the thickness from point to point on an article and from article toarticle in a production lot is inherent in electroplating. Therefore, if all of the articles in a production lot are to meet the thickness requirement,

41、the averagecoating thickness for the production lot as a whole will be greater than the specified minimum.6.5 AdhesionThe coating shall withstand normal handling and storage conditions without chipping, flaking, or other coatingdamage and shall conform to the minimum requirements set forth in Sectio

42、n 8.6.6 CorrosionCorrosion resistance is applicable to the significant surfaces only. The corrosion resistance of the coating maybe evaluated using the methodcriteria in Appendix X1.6.7 Pretreatment of Iron and Steel for Reducing the Risk of Hydrogen Embrittlement:6.7.1 Parts that are made of steels

43、 with ultimate tensile strengths of 1000 MPa (hardness of 31 HRC or greater) that have beenmachined, ground, cold formed, or cold straightened subsequent to heat treatment shall require stress relief heat treatment whenspecified by the purchaser, the tensile strength to be supplied by the purchaser.

44、 Specification B849 may be consulted for a list ofpre-treatments that are widely used.6.8 Post-Coating Treatments of Iron and Steel for Reducing the Risk of Hydrogen Embrittlement:6.8.1 Parts that are made of steels with ultimate tensile strengths of 1000 MPa (hardness of 31 HRC or greater), as well

45、 assurface hardened parts, may require post-coating hydrogen embrittlement relief baking when specified by the purchaser, the tensilestrength to be supplied by the purchaser. Specification B850 may be consulted for a list of post-treatments that are widely used.7. Sampling7.1 The sampling plan used

46、for the inspection of a quantity of the coated articles shall be as agreed upon between the purchaserand the seller.NOTE 7Usually, when a collection of coated articles, the inspection lot (see 7.2), is examined for compliance with the requirements placed on thearticles, a relatively small number of

47、the articles, the sample, is selected at random and is inspected. The inspection lot is then classified as complyingor not complying with the requirements based on the results of the inspection of the sample. The size of the sample and the criteria of compliance aredetermined by the application of s

48、tatistics. The procedure is known as sampling inspection. Three standards, Test Method B602, Guide B697, and TestMethod B762 contain sampling plans that are designed for the sampling inspection of coatings. Test Method B602 contains four sampling plans, threefor use with tests that are nondestructiv

49、e and one when they are destructive. The buyer and seller may agree on the plan or plans to be used. If they donot, Test Method B602 identifies the plan to be used. Guide B697 provides a large number of plans and also gives guidance in the selection of a plan.When Guide B697 is specified, the buyer and seller need to agree on the plan to be used. Test Method B762 can be used only for coating requirementsB841 183that have a numerical limit, such as a coating thickness. The test must yield a numerical value and certain statistical requirements must b
