23、SURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The processor shall supply all samples for processors tests and shall be responsible for the performance of all required tests. When parts are required to be tested, such parts shall be supplied by the purchaser. The cognizant engineering organiza

24、tion reserves the right to sample and to perform any confirmatory testing deemed necessary to ensure that processing conforms to the specified requirements. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS2409H Page 4 of 6 4.2 Classification of Tests 4.2.1 Acceptance Tests Quality (3.6) is an acceptance test and shall be perf

25、ormed on parts from each lot. 4.2.2 Periodic Tests Thickness (3.5.1) is a periodic test and shall be performed at least once each month that parts are processed. Adhesion (3.5.2 or 3.5.2.1, as applicable) is a periodic test that shall be performed not less than daily for each generic class of alloy

26、as defined by AS2390, processed during that day. Tests of cleaning and plating solutions (see 4.4.3 and 8.4) are periodic tests and shall be performed at a frequency selected by the vendor unless frequency of testing is specified by the cognizant engineering organization. 4.2.3 Preproduction Tests A

27、ll property verification tests (3.5) are preproduction tests and shall be performed prior to production and when the cognizant engineering organization deems confirmation testing necessary. 4.3 Sampling and Testing Shall be not less than the following; a lot shall be all plated parts of the same par

28、t number plated in the same solution(s) in not longer than eight consecutive hours and presented for processors inspection at one time: 4.3.1 For Acceptance Tests Test samples shall be randomly selected from all parts in the lot.

33、on part whichever is specified, shall be approved by the cognizant engineering organization before production parts are supplied. 4.4.2 If the processor makes a significant change to any material, process, or control factor from that which was used for process approval, all preproduction tests shall

34、 be performed and the results submitted to the cognizant engineering organization. A significant change is one which, in the judgment of the cognizant engineering organization, could affect the properties or performance of the parts. 4.4.3 Control factors shall include, but not be limited to, the fo

36、rts shall furnish with each shipment a report stating that the parts have been processed and tested in accordance with the specified requirements and that they conform to the acceptance test requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, lot number, AMS2409H, part number, and qua

37、ntity. 4.6 Resampling and Retesting 4.6.1 If any acceptance test fails to meet specified test requirements, the parts in that lot may be stripped, pretreated, plated, and post treated as defined herein and retested. Alternatively, all parts in the lot may be inspected for the nonconforming attribute

38、, and the nonconforming parts may be stripped, pretreated, plated, post treated as defined herein, and retested. After stripping and replating, parts shall meet the dimensions on the drawing. 4.6.1.1 When stripping is performed, the method shall be acceptable to the cognizant engineering organizatio

39、n and shall not roughen, pit, or adversely affect part dimensions. When parts have been stripped and replated, the processor shall document the process. 4.6.2 If any periodic test fails to meet specified test requirements, the process is nonconforming. No additional part shall be plated until the pr

40、ocess is corrected and new specimens are plated and tested. Results of all tests shall be recorded and, when requested, reported. The cognizant engineering organization shall be notified of all parts plated since the last acceptable test. Alternatively, adhesion test failures on plated parts may be

41、dispositioned as specified in 4.6.1. 5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY 5.1 Plated parts shall be handled and packaged to ensure that the required physical characteristics and properties of the plating are preserved. 5.2 Packages of plated parts shall be prepared for shipment in accordance with commercial

42、practice and in compliance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to the handling, packaging, and transportation of the parts to ensure carrier acceptance and safe delivery. 6. ACKNOWLEDGMENT Processor shall mention this specification number and its revision letter in all quotations and wh

43、en acknowledging purchase orders. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS2409H Page 6 of 6 7. REJECTIONS Parts on which the plating does not conform to this specification, or to modifications authorized by the cognizant engineering organization, will be subject to rejection. 8. NOTES 8.1 Revision Indicator A change b

44、ar (l) located in the left margin is for the convenience of the user in locating areas where technical revisions, not editorial changes, have been made to the previous issue of this document. An (R) symbol to the left of the document title indicates a complete revision of the document, including tec

45、hnical revisions. Change bars and (R) are not used in original publications, nor in documents that contain editorial changes only. 8.2 The parts manufacturer should ensure that surfaces of metal parts supplied to the processor are free from blemishes, pits, tool marks, and other irregularities that

46、will affect the quality of the finished parts. Defects and variations in appearance that arise from surface conditions of the substrate, such as porosity, scratches, or inclusions, that persist in the finished plate despite observance of industry accepted plating practices should not be cause for re

47、jection. 8.3 Part manufacturing operations such as heat treatment, forming, machining, joining, and media finishing, can affect the condition of the substrate for plating, or if performed after plating, could adversely affect the plating. The sequencing of these operations should be specified by the cognizant engineering organization and is not controlled by this specification. 8.4 ARP4992, Periodic Test Plan for Process Solutions, may be used to satisfy the requirements for control of processing solutions.
