The coating must not cause the basic thread size to betransgressed by either the internal or external threads. The method of designating inch coated threadsshall comply withASME B1.1.

5、B1.1 and ISO 965-1, ISO 965-2, and ISO 965-3 for ISO metric coatedthreads.With normal methods for depositing metallic coatings from aqueous solutions, there is a risk ofdelayed failure due to hydrogen embrittlement for case hardened fasteners and fasteners having ahardness 40 HRC or above. above 39

6、HRC. Although this risk can be managed by selecting rawmaterials suitable for the application of electrodeposited coatings and by using modern methods ofsurface treatment and post heat-treatment (baking), the risk of hydrogen embrittlement cannot becompletely eliminated. Therefore, the application o

7、f a metallic coating by electrodeposition is notrecommended for such fasteners.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers application, performance and dimensional requirements for electrodeposited coatings on threadedfasteners with unified inch screw threads. and metric screw threads, but it may also be

It specifies coating thickness, supplementary hexavalent chromate or non-hexavalentpassivateconversion finishes, corrosion resistance, precautions for managing the risk of hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogenembrittlemen
