AMS-2422
Specifications

Technical Notes

Purchase order shall specify not less than the following

  • AMS2422F
  • Plating thickness desired
  • Minimum thickness on internal surfaces, if required
  • Basis metal to be plated
  • Tensile strength or hardness of the basis metal (this would not apply to Aluminum)
  • Pre-plate stress relief to be performed by plating processor (time and temperature) if different from 3.1.2
  • Special features, geometry or processing present on parts that requires special attention by the plating processor
  • Hydrogen embrittlement relief to be performed by plating processor (parameters or reference document) if different from 3.3
  • Solderability when required
  • Quantity of pieces to be plated

Copper Strike

Standard parts are to be plated with either a copper flash or copper strike, unless parts are made of copper/copper alloy containing less than 15% zinc. If these criteria are met, the strike can be omitted.

  • Minimum thickness of 0.0001 inch (2.5 um)
  • Nickel Strike is to be done after copper strike
  • Minimum thickness of 0.0001 inch (2.5 um)
  • Gold plating done after nickel strike
  • Minimum thickness of 0.00005 inch (1.27 um) on all surfaces on which gold plating is specified

Electroplating

Electroplating

Electroplating is a process by which one metal is deposited onto a base metal (substrate). These deposited metals offer a variety of benefits including thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and more. AOTCO electroplates a wide variety of both standard and exotic metals.

Anodizing

Anodizing

Sometimes called a “conversion coating” Anodizing is an electrolytic process in which an oxide (anodic) layer is chemically built on the surface of the substrate material, providing anti-corrosion and other benefits. AOTCO offers, Type I, Type 2, Type 3 and Titanium anodizing services.

Passivation

Passivation

Passivation is a term for a variety if processes that make a metal (most commonly stainless steel) or other substance unreactive, or passive, by altering the surface layer or coating the surface with a thin inert layer. AOTCO performs both citric and black oxide passivation techniques to a range of specifications.
