TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS3.1 MaterialThe coating materials (primer and finish coating) shall be dispersions of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin solids with a small amount of coalescing resin in a water medium. The primer may be either pigmented or
14、 unpigmented. The finish resin coating material shall be unpigmented unless colored material is specified by purchaser.3.2 Preparation3.2.1 Cleaning: Surfaces, other than anodized aluminum, to be coated shall be degreased, chemically cleaned or lightly abrasive blasted, cleaned to remove abrasive pa
15、rticles, and air dried. Anodized aluminum surfaces need only be degreased and dried.3.2.2 Preheating: Immediately prior to coating, metals shall be preheated to 752 F 9 (400 C 5) to produce a light oxide film and remove any organic contamination and air cooled. Preheating of aluminum, magnesium, and
16、 copper is not required (See 8.2).3.3 Coating3.3.1 3ULPHU $ SULPHU UHVLQ FRDW RI WR LQFK WR P GU ILOP WKLFNQHVV VKDOO EH DSSOLHG to the prepared surfaces and fused as in 3.4.3.3.2 Finish: The finish resin coating material shall be applied to the primed surfaces as required to yield the specified tot
17、al dry film thickness. Thickness of each coat shall be 0.002 to 0.003 inch (51 to P IRUWKHILUVWIHZFRDWVEXWshould gradually be decreased to approximately 0.001 inch P DVWRWDOFRDWLQJWKLFNQHVVLQFUHDVHVWRZDUG0.040 inch (1.02 mm). Each coat shall be fused as in 3.4 before application of the succeeding co
18、at.3.3.2.1 For best corrosion resistance, coated surfaces shall be sanded with 300 to 400 grit paper and cleaned between coats.SAE AMS2516E Page 3 of 63.4 FusingThe resin coating shall be air-dried to a dry, non-glossy appearance or forced-heat dried at 149 to 203 F (65 to 95 C) for 5 to 10 minutes.
19、 Each intermediate coat shall be fused at 572 to 626 F (300 to 330 C). The final dried coating shall be fused at 698 to 752 F (370 to 400 C) until fusing is complete. Fusing is complete when the milk-white (for unpigmented material), air-dried film changes to a clear, fused film. Fusing time will va
20、ry depending on the mass of metal being coated. Unless otherwise permitted by purchaser, the fused coating shall be quenched in cold water, after the final fusing cycle, to provide maximum coating toughness. Adequate ventilation shall be provided in furnace areas to prevent inhalation of toxic fumes
21、.3.5 Repair of Damaged AreasDamaged areas shall be sanded to a feather edge. If basis metal is exposed, a new primer coat shall be applied. As many coats as required to build the film to its original thickness shall be applied, observing the coating thickness requirements of 3.3.2. Each coat shall b
22、e fused before application of the subsequent coat. Care shall be taken to remove any overspray of primer from the original top coat and to apply the resin coating well beyond the perimeter of the damaged area. After air drying, reworked areas shall be fused by means of an open flame. In fusing, heat
23、ing to a temperature above that at which the coating changes to a clear, fused film shall be avoided; bright, glowing spots in the film are evidence of overheating and decomposition of the resin. Flame fusing shall be performed only under a hood or forced draft ventilation.3.6 PropertiesThe fused co
24、ating shall conform to the following requirements, determined on representative test panels or on parts chosen at random to represent the lot:3.6.1 Coating Thickness: Shall be as specified on the drawing, determined by micrometer measurement, thickness gage, or other method agreed upon by purchaser
25、and vendor.3.6.2 Adhesion: A representative coated 0.250-inch (6.35-mm) diameter ASTM A 108 low-carbon steel rod, processed with each lot of parts, shall show no evidence of chalking, blistering, or loss of adhesion, determined by cycling in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method 102, Condition C, exce
26、pt that the cycling temperature range shall be -76 to +500 F (-60 to +260 C).3.6.3 Coefficient of Friction: Shall be not higher than 0.1, determined on a Timken tester at 68 to 86 F (20 to 30 C), a speed of 25 feet/minute 2 (125 mm/s 10), and a load of 10 pounds force 0.1 (45 N 0.4).3.6.4 Corrosion
