In the event of a conflict between the text of this document and the references cited herein, the

19、text of this document takes precedence. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Plating materials and processes. The materials and processes used shall produce coatings that meet the requirements

20、 of this specification. Either bright or matte deposits are acceptable unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2). 3.2 Basis metal. The basis metal shall be free from defects, scratches, pits, non-conducting inclusions, and roll and die-marks that will adversely affect th

21、e appearance and the performance of coatings applied thereto despite the observance of the best plating practice. 3.2.1 Preplating operations. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2), plating shall be applied after all basis metal heat treatments and mechanical operati

22、ons such as machining, brazing, welding, forming, and impregnating have been completed. This requirement does not prohibit certain required operations after plating to take place, such as, embrittlement relief, heat treatment and forming operations such as crimping electrical connections. 3.2.1.1 Pl

23、ating of steel parts. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2), steel parts having an ultimate tensile strength of 220,000 psi or above shall not be plated without specific approval from the procuring activity. 3.2.2 Stress relief treatment. All steel parts shall be giv

24、en a stress relief heat treatment at a range of 375 25 F (191 14 C) for 3 hours or more prior to cleaning and plating if they contain tensile stresses caused by machining, grinding, or cold forming operations. Parts which are cold straightened are considered to contain damaging stresses. The tempera

25、ture and time at temperature shall be such that maximum stress relief is obtained without reducing the hardness below the specified minimum (see 6.2.1). 3.3 Pretreatment. Articles shall be cleaned, pickled, or otherwise pretreated as necessary. Acid pickling on high strength steels shall be prohibit

26、ed. 3.4 Strikes. When gold plating is preceded by a strike or a strike and underplate, it shall be as specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2 and 6.3). For exterior use and when the basis Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-M

27、IL-DTL-45204D 5metal is low alloy steel or other non-copper base metal such as zinc, the thickness of the strike and underplate shall be a minimum of 0.001 inch minus the thickness of the specified gold plating. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2), gold over silver

28、 underplate combinations shall be excluded from electronic hardware. Silver or copper plus silver may not be used as an underplate unless required by item specification. Also, when gold is applied to a copper rich surface such as brass, bronze or beryllium copper or a copper plate or strike, an anti

29、-diffusion underplate such as nickel shall be applied. 3.5 Plating equipment and processes. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2), the plating equipment and process used shall be at the option of the supplier (see 6.2.1). 3.6 Plating properties. 3.6.1 Thickness. The

30、minimum thickness of deposited gold on significant surfaces for each class of gold plating shall be as shown in 1.2.3. Significant surfaces shall be all surfaces of the article which can be touched by a sphere 0.75 inch in diameter plus additional functional surfaces specified on the applicable draw

31、ings, contract or purchase order (see 6.2). However, the plating on non-significant, nonfunctional surfaces shall be of sufficient thickness to ensure plating continuity and uniform appearance. 3.6.2 Adhesion. Adhesion of the gold plating and of any underplating shall be such that the coating and un

32、dercoating shall not separate from each other or from the basis metal when tested according to 4.6.2. 3.6.3 Hardness. The Knoop hardness of the coating shall conform to the grade as specified in the contract or purchase order (see 1.2.2 and 6.2) and shall be determined in accordance with 4.6.3. 3.6.

33、4 Heat resistance. When heat resistance is specified, gold plated parts shall show no blistering, discoloration, or visible white or crystalline film when tested in accordance with 4.6.4. 3.6.5 Smoothness. If a degree of surface smoothness of the finished article is required, the degree shall be spe

34、cified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2). Methods for measuring surface smoothness shall be approved by the procuring activity. 3.6.6 Solderability. When solderability is required by the procuring activity or specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2), the gold plating shall mee

35、t the following solderability requirements. When the gold plating is subjected to the solderability test of 4.6.5, the solder coating shall be even, free from lumps and shall not flake or peel when subjected to the adhesion test of 4.6.2. 3.6.7 Composition. The type (purity) of gold shall be as spec

36、ified in the contract or purchase order (see 1.2.1 and 6.2). 3.6.7.1 Impurities. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-MIL-DTL-45204D 63.6.7.1.1 Type I, grade A and type III. Metallic impurities such as chromium, copper, tin, lead, silver,

37、cadmium, or zinc shall not be present in the deposit at a concentration greater than 0.1 percent. The percent by weight of iron, nickel, and cobalt combined shall be less than 0.050 and no one of these three elements shall be present in amounts greater than 0.030 percent by weight. 3.6.7.1.2 Type I,

38、 grades B and C and type II. Individual metallic impurities in the deposit shall not exceed 0.1 percent. Metallic hardening agents, which are purposely added to a bath are not to be considered impurities. 3.7 Postplating procedures. 3.7.1 Removal of plating salts. Residual plating salts shall be rem

39、oved from the plated articles. Articles difficult to clean, as spot-welded articles or other prefabricated articles with lap seams or joints, shall be cleaned after plating in well-agitated hot water (200 to 212 F). If any blisters appear after cleaning, the plated article shall be considered defect

40、ive. 3.7.2 Heating of hardened parts (embrittlement relief). All steel parts having a hardness of Rockwell C40 and higher shall be baked at 375 25 F (191 14 C) for 3 hours or more, within one hour after plating to provide hydrogen embrittlement relief. Plated springs or other parts subject to flexur

41、e shall not be flexed prior to baking operations. No plated part shall develop cracks or fail by fracture (see 4.6.6). 3.8 Workmanship. Gold plating shall be smooth, fine grained, adherent and free from exposed basis metal or underplate, visible blisters, pits, nodules, porosity, indications of burn

42、ing, excessive edge buildup and other detrimental defects. Correction of a burned condition by burnishing or tumbling is not acceptable. 3.9 Identification marking. When specified in the contract or purchase order (see 6.2), the plated articles shall be marked with a fluid which is not affected by w

43、ater and which shall not rub off or smear during shipment or storage, or shall carry a tag giving the following information: (a) The basis metal. (b) The type of gold plating. (c) The grade of gold plating. (d) The class of gold plating. (e) The number of this specification. (f) Strike, if used. (g)

44、 Underplate, if used. 4. VERIFICATION 4.1 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as conformance inspection (see 4.2).
