SCOPE The materials defined by these specifications are corrosion protective c

4、oatings applied sequentially per supplier specifications over steel. They consist of an alkaline zinc nickel alloy electrodeposit and a trivalent chromium passivate/adhesion promoter. A2 and A3 are followed respectively by an organic seal, a cathodic electrocoat, or a waterborne top coat. When used

5、with an integrally cured torque modified post dip, these processes provide consistent torque-tension control. All processes are free of hexavalent chromium, lead and cadmium. 2. APPLICATION These specifications were released for materials used as corrosion protective coatings over steel fasteners an

6、d small parts. The processes may induce hydrogen embrittlement and therefore these coatings must be hydrogen embrittlement relieved when applied to high hardness parts in accordance with WSS-M99A3-A. The cure temperature of the organic seal used for A2 is 80 to 120 C. The cure temperature of the cat

7、hodic system for A3 is 175 to 200 C. These coatings shall not be specified if this temperature adversely affects the component being coated. 2.1 SERVICE TEMPERATURE The maximum continuous service temperature for A and A2 is 310 C. The maximum continuous service temperature for A3 is 260 C. ENGINEERI

Crystallographic preferred orientations, such as 330 and/or 600 Miller index hkl for gamma phase

15、ZnNi, should be present in accordance with the chemical suppliers requirements; and subject to periodic verification using x-ray diffraction or an alternative, preapproved, standard crystallographic determination method. 3.4.3 The passivate/adhesion promoter shall have a composition in accordance wi

16、th the chemical suppliers requirements.
