2、ision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification covers the coating of steel unified inch screw threaded fasteners by electrodepo

3、-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 inter

4、nal 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 HRC

5、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 applicat

It specifiescoating thickness, supplemen

Requirements6.1 Coating RequirementsThe electrodeposited coating asordered shall cover all surfaces and shall meet the followingrequirements:6.1.1 The coating metal deposit shall be bright or semi-bright unless otherwise specified by the p

35、urchaser, smooth, finegrained, adherent and uniform in appearance.6.1.2 The coating shall be free of blisters, pits, nodules,roughness, cracks, unplated areas, and other defects that willaffect the function of the coating.6.1.3 The coating shall not be stained, discolored or exhibitany evidence of w

36、hite or red corrosion products.6.1.3.1 Slight discoloration that results from baking, drying,or electrode contact during rack-plating, or all of these, as wellas slight staining that results from rinsing shall not be cause forrejection.6.2 Corrosion ResistanceCoated fasteners, when testedby continuo

37、us exposure to neutral salt spray in accordance with9.3, shall show neither corrosion products of coatings (whitecorrosion) nor basis metal corrosion products (red rust) at theend of the test period. The appearance of corrosion productsvisible to the unaided eye at normal reading distance shall beca

38、use for rejection, except when present at the edges of thetested fasteners. Refer to Annex A1 for neutral salt sprayperformance requirements for zinc, zinc alloy and cadmiumcoatings.6.3 ThicknessThe coating thickness shall comply withrequirements of Table 2 when measured in accordance with9.1.6.3.1

39、Restrictions on 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.

40、3.1.1 Minimum coating 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 acceptan

41、ce.6.3.1.3 Internal 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, ar

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 Ap

43、plicability to Unified 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 o

44、f the various thread 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 m

45、ethod due to the 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

Unless otherwise specified bythe purchaser, baking is not mandatory for fasteners withspecified maximum hardness below 40 HRC.NOTE 3With proper care many steel fasteners can be plated withoutbaking by corr
