Purchaser reserves the right to sample and to perform any confirmatory testing deemed ecessary to ensure that processing conforms to the requirements of this specification. Classification of Tests; Acceptance Tests: Thickness (3.4.1), adhesion (3.4.2), and quality (3.5) are acceptance tests and shall be performed to represent each lot. Periodic Tests: Corrosion-resistance (3.4.3), hydrogen embrittlement, when parts 36 HRC or higher are plated, (3.4.4) and tests of cleaning and plating solutions to ensure that the deposited metal wil conform to specified requirements (See 8.5) are periodic tests and shall be performed at ‘a frequency selected by.the processor unless frequency of testing is specified by purchaser. Preproduction Tests: All technical requirements are preproduction tests and shall be performed prior to or on the firt-articla shipment of plated parts to a purchaser, when a change in material, ‘and/or processing requires approval by the cognizant engineering organization (See 4.4.2), and when purchaser deems confirmatory testing to be required. ‘Sampling and Testing: ‘Shall be not less than the following; a lot shall be alf paris of the same part number, plated to the ‘same range of plate thickness in the same set of solutions, in each consecutive 26 hours of operation, and presented for processor's inspection at one time, For Acceptance Tests: Test samples shall be selected randomly from all parts in the lot.

Except as noted, actual parts shall be selected as samples for tests. 4.2.8.1 When plated parts are of such configuration or size as to be not readily adaptable to the specified taste or when nondestructive testing Is not practical on actual parts, oF itis not economically acceptable to perform destructive tests on actual parts, separate test specimens of the same generic class of alloy as the parts represented, cleaned, plated, and post-treated with the represented parts may be used. ‘Test specimens for corrosion testing, when required, shall be fabricated from low carbon steel, approximately 0.032 x 1 x 4 inches (0.8 x 25 x 102 mm) or bars approximated, 0.5 inch (13 mm) in diameter and 4 inches (102 mm) long. Hydrogen embrittlement test specimens shall conform to ASTM F 519 Type 1 using notched round bars stressed in tension under constant load. For test purposes, plating thickness shall be 0.0005 to 0.0007 inch (13 to 18 jm), measured on the smooth section of the specimen, but with visual evidence of plating in the root af the natch. 4.4 Approval: 4.4.1.

PI 8.1 The processor of plated parts shall make no significant change to materials, processes, or control ‘actors from those an which approval was based, unless the change is approved by the cognizant ‘engineering organization. A significant change is one which, in the judgment of the cognizant ‘engineering organization, could affact the properties or performance of the parts. 1 Control factors shall include, but not be limitad to, the following: Surface preparation and cleaning procedures Surface activation procedures Plating bath composition and composition control limits Plating bath temperature limits and controls ‘Currentvoltage limits and controls ‘Chemical post treatment Method for testing plating thickness. Method for checking adhesion Stripping procedure, it required Periodic test plan, Reports: ‘The processor of plated parts shall fumish with each shipment a report stating that the parts have been processed and tested in accordance with specitied requirements and that they conform to the ‘acceptance test requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, fot number, AMS 2402H, part number, and quantity. Resampling and Retesting: If the results of any acceptance test fall to meet specified test requirements, the parts in that lot may be stripped by a method acceptable to purchaser that does not roughen, pit, or ambrittle the basis metal, pretreated, plated and post treated as defined herein, and tested. Altematively, all parts in the lot may be inspected for the nonconforming attribute, and the nonconforming parts may be stripped by a method acceptable to purchaser that does not roughen, pit, or embrittie the basis metal, pretreated, plated, post treated as defined herein, and tested. It the results of any periodic test fail to meet specified requirements, the procass is nonconforming. No adattional parts shall be plated until the process is corrected and new spacimens are plated and tested. Resutts of all tests shall be recorded and, when requested, reported. Purchaser shall be notified of all parts plated since the last acceptable test. REPARATION FOR DELIVERY: 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 parts shall be prepared for shipment in accordance with commercial practice and in ‘compliance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to the handling, packaging, and transportation af the plated parts to ensure carrier acceptance and safe delivery. 6. ACKNOWLEDGMENT: ‘A processor shall mention this specification number and its revision letter in all quotations and wnen acknowledging purchase orders. 7. REJECTIONS: Parts on which the plating does not conform to this specification, or to modifications authorized by Purchaser, will be subject to rejection @. NOTES: 8.1 Acchange bar (|) 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 ofthis specification. ‘An (R) symbol to the lett of the document tite indicates a complete revision of the specification, including technical revisions. Change bars and (A) are not used in original publications, nor in ‘specifications that contain editorial changes only. 8.2 Part manufacturing operations, such as heat treatment, forming, Joining and media finishing, can affect the condition of the substrate for plating, or, if performed after plating, could adversely affect the plate. The sequencing of these types of operations should be specified by the cognizant engineering organization and is not controlled by this specification. 8.3 The parts manufacturer should ensure that the surfaces of metal parts supplied to the processor are free from blemishes, pits, tool marks, and other irregularities that wil 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 would not be considered as cause for rejection. 8.4 Alkaline cleaning may be done with anodic current but should not be done with cathodic current or Periodic current reversal on ferrous metal parts. 8.5 ARP4992, Periodic Test Plan for Process Solutions, is recommended to satisty the requirement for control of processing solutions. 8.6 Key Words: Corrosion resistance lectrodeposition 8.7 Dimensions and properties in inch/pound units and the Fahrenheit temperatures are primary; ‘dimensions and properties in $i unite and the Celsius temperatures are shown as the approximate equivaiants of the primary units and are presented only for information. = 10+AMS 2402H Purchase documents should specity not less than the following: AMS 24021 Plate thickness desired Tensile strength or hardness of parts Stress relief, it required Quantity of pieces to be plated.
