SCOPE 1.1 Purpose This specification covers the engi

10、neering requirements for cadmium deposited on ferrous metals. 1.2 Application This process has been used typically to provide corrosion resistance to steel parts heat treated to tensile strengths of 180 ksi (1240 MPa) and higher and used at temperatures not higher than 450 F (232 C), but usage is no

11、t limited to such aplications. 1.3 Safety-Hazardous Materials While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards which may be involved in such use.

34、ept as indicated in Table 2, the maximum plate thickness shall be 0.0002 inch (5 m) greater than the minimum. Thus AMS2401-2 designates a thickness of 0.0002 to 0.0004 inch (5 to 10 m) and AMS 2401-6 designates a thickness of 0.0006 to 0.0008 inch (15 to 20 m). 3.4.1.1.1 Plate thickness, when specif

36、in thickness on significant surfaces except that slight build-up on exterior corners or edges will be permitted provided finished drawing dimensions are met. 3.4.1.4 See Table 1 for thickness requirements on listed surfaces. All other surfaces of the part that cannot be touched by a sphere 0.75 inch

37、 (19 mm) in diameter, such as holes, recesses, threads and other areas where a controlled deposit cannot be obtained under normal plating conditions, may be under the specified limit provided they show visual plating coverage. Such surfaces shall not be masked to prevent plating. 3.4.1.4.1 If intern
