Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification covers the coating of steel unified inch screw threaded fasteners by electrod

3、epo-sition. The properties of the coatings shall conform to the ASTM standards for the individual finisheslisted.Coating thickness values are based on the tolerances for 1A and 2A external Unified Inch ScrewThreads. The coating must not cause the basic thread size to be transgressed by either the in

4、ternal orexternal threads. The method of designating coated threads shall comply with ASME B1.1.With normal methods for depositing metallic coatings from aqueous solutions, there is a risk ofdelayed failure due to hydrogen embrittlement for case hardened fasteners and fasteners having ahardness 40 H

5、RC or above. Although this risk can be managed by selecting raw materials suitable forthe application of electrodeposited coatings and by using modern methods of surface treatment andpost heat-treatment (baking), the risk of hydrogen embrittlement cannot be completely eliminated.Therefore, the appli

It specifiescoating thickness, supple

35、Coating ThicknessThis specificationimposes minimum local thickness requirements at significantsurfaces in accordance with Table 2. Thick or thin localthickness in a location other than a significant surface shall notbe a cause for rejection. However the following restrictionsapply:6.3.1.1 Minimum co

36、ating thickness at low current densityareas, such as the center of a bolt or recesses, must be sufficientto provide for adequate chromate adhesion.6.3.1.2 External Threads Maximum coating thickness athigh current density threaded tips must provide for class 3AGO thread gauge acceptance.6.3.1.3 Inter

37、nal Threads Maximum coating thickness ofinternal threads must provide for class 1B, 2B, or 3B Go threadgage acceptance.6.3.1.4 Surfaces such as threads, holes, deep recesses, basesof angles, and similar areas on which the specified thickness ofdeposit cannot readily be controlled, are exempted fromm

38、inimum thickness requirements unless they are speciallydesignated as not being exempted. When such areas are subjectto minimum thickness requirements, the purchaser and themanufacturer shall recognize the necessity for either thickerdeposits on other areas or special racking.6.3.2 Applicability to U

39、nified Inch Screw Threads:6.3.2.1 The applicability of the required coating to unifiedinch screw threads is limited by the basic deviation of thethreads, and hence limited by the pitch diameter, allowance andtolerance positions. Refer to Appendix X3 as a guideline forthe tolerances of the various th

40、read sizes and classes and thecoating thickness they will accommodate.6.3.2.2 Because of the inherent variability in coating thick-ness by the barrel-plating process, the application of a mini-mum coating thickness of 0.0005 in. is not recommended for astandard screw thread by this method due to the

41、 fact thatdimensional allowance of most threaded fasteners normallydoes not permit it. If the size of the fastener is large enough toeconomically use the rack-plating process, then the latter shallbe used to obtain this thickness requirement. If heaviercoatings are required allowance for the deposit

47、therisk of hydrogen embrittlement. Unless otherwise specified bythe purchaser, baking is not mandatory for fasteners withspecified maximum hardness below 40 HRC.NOTE 2With proper care many steel fasteners can be plated withoutbaking by correlating process conditions to the susceptibility of thefaste

48、ner material to hydrogen embrittlement, and by applying adequateprocess control procedures, such as those outlined in Appendix X4.2. TestMethod F 1940 is a recognized verification method for process control tominimize the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. Upon agreement betweenthe supplier and the pur

49、chaser, this test method can be used as a basis fordetermining if baking should be mandated in a controlled processenvironment.6.4.2 Baking ConditionsAt the time of publication of thisspecification it was not considered possible to give an exactbaking duration. Eight hours is considered a typical example ofbaking duration. However, upon agreement between the pur-chaser and the manufacturer, baking times between 2 and 24 hat temperatures of 350 to 450F are suitable depending on thetype and size of the fastener, geometry, mechanical properties,cleaning pr
