Abstract of ASTM Fi94t ELECTRODEPOSITED COATINGS ON THREADED 2000 FASTENERS [UNIFIED INCH SCREW THREADS (UN/UNR)] cifically manufactured to allow the application of 10,0005 in. or greater coating thickness by the barrel-pating process, must adhere to a special allowance specified by the manufacturer or in ‘ASME B1.1. The other dimensional character- Isic shall be as speced in the applicable stan- ard or drawing. It should be noted that modi- Cations tothe threads ofa fastener could affect its properties or performance, or both. Refer to ‘Appendix XS for further information on effects of coating on pitch diameter, allowances and tolerances for external and intemal threads. ‘Sampling 4. Sampling fo coating thickness, salt spray ‘and embritement testing shall be conducted based on lat size in accordance with Guide ASTM F1470. 9. Test Methods 14 Coating Thickness — Unless otherwise ‘specified, the requirement to measure coating thickness is applicable to significant surfaces only, The test methods for determining the coat- ing thickness are defined in Test Methods ASTM. (8487, 8499, 8504, BS67, 8568, Guide B659, o¢ Practice E376 as applicable. 92. Embritlement Test Method — The em- britlement test method shall conform to those pected in Test Methods ASTM F606, F1624, 519 of NASM-13125 for product testing 9.3 Corrosion Resistance — The require- ‘ment to determine corrosion resistance is app- ‘cable to significant surfaces only. When speci fiedin the contractor purchase order, asaltspray test shall be conducted in accordance with Prac- tice ASTM 117. To secure uniformity of results, ‘samples shall be aged at room temperature for 24 hr before being subjected to the salt soray test. 10, Electroplating Processes 10.4 Two electroplating processes are most commonly used to apply & metalic coating by clectrodepostion on threaded fasteners: bar- Fel-plating and rack-plating. When thread ft or thread integrity, or both, is a concem for exter- nally threaded fasteners, rack-pating is prefer- ‘able to barrel-pating, Refer to Appendix 1 pen] MATERIALSMATERIALS ELECTRODEPOSITED COATINGS ON THREADED FASTENERS [UNIFIED INCH SCREW THREADS (UN/UNR)] ‘Abstract of ASTM F941 2000 X3, COATING ACCOMMODATION TOLERANCES FOR EXTERNALLY AND INTERNALLY THREADED FASTENERS X31 _ This specication doos notimpose maxi- ‘mum thickness values on high current density ‘areas, where the coating thickness tends to be the greatest. On an externally threaded fastener this occurs at the threaded tip. Measuring coat- ing thickness on the threaded portion of a fas- tener is possible, but impractical fr in-process {quality contol verification. For this reason, the ‘contol mechanism specified in this documentis by means of GO thread gages. Nevertheless Tables X3.1-X3.4 illustrate maximum coating thickness permitted by Class 1A and 2A allow- ‘ance, and are supplied as an informative guide- line.
