AMS 2469
Specifications

Technical Notes

This spec is typically used by customers looking to increase surface hardness, abrasion resistance, and/or corrosion resistance to their aluminum part.

Location of contact points to be selected by customer. If no contact points are specified, AOTCO will choose a location. When choosing these points, they should be in areas where anodizing is either optional or not required.

Sealing parts for improved corrosion resistance is optional, please specify to AOTCO if you want your parts to be sealed.

Regarding thickness, this standard requires 0.0020 inch ± 0.0005 (0.051 mm ± 0.013).

Testing

Thickness, coating weight, color, and quality are the four tests specified in this standard.

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.
