When working with our clients in the Aerospace Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing industries there is no margin for error with surface finishing processes.
AMS 2469 is the Aerospace industry standard spec for Hard Coat Anodize. The specification includes a required thickness range of 0.0020 inch ± 0.0005 (0.051 mm ± 0.013).
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).
Thickness, coating weight, color, and quality are the four tests specified in this standard.
