1.0 SCOPE:
This specification defines the requirements for bonded molybdenum disulfide coatings on low alloy steel parts.
The Everslik® 1201 base coat is a protective coating and does not contain any lubricating solids.
The Everslik® 1301 top coat has a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) based solid-film lubricant. It provides good
lubricity and prevents galling and seizing in dry conditions and can be used in higher load carrying
applications.
However, when used in a fluid environment (e.g. seawater or control fluid) along with dynamic movement
(e.g. rotating, sliding) the Everslik® 1301 can degrade.
As such, we recommend Everslik® 1201/1301 coating shall be used when the following scenarios exist:
2.0 GENERAL:
2.1 This type of coating system is used primarily for its lubricity. It is a two-part system consisting of a
thermosetting, resin bonded, solid film lubricant top coat applied over a thermosetting, corrosion resistant
base coat.
2.2 The coating may only be applied to finished parts. Parts that require welding shall not be coated until after
welding and stress relieving have been completed unless specifically approved by Cameron Engineering.
2.3 When specified on the Cameron Engineering drawing, parts to be coated shall be marked with a low stress
dot stamp which identifies the applicator (a logo, etc.).
2.4 Only those areas identified on the Cameron Engineering drawing shall be coated. If no areas are specified,
then the entire part shall be coated.
2.5 Cameron specification A-002500-01 forms an integral part of this specification and must be complied with
except as modified by this specification.

4.1 Blast-cleaned parts shall be phosphate within 4 hours after surface preparation has been completed. Parts
shall be zinc, iron, manganese, nickel-manganese or zinc-manganese phosphate coated.
4.2 Control of the phosphating chemicals must provide for the determination of free acid, total acid and ferrous
iron content. Analysis of free and total acid shall be made at least daily. If the process is proven to be under
control, the analysis of the ferrous iron content and weight of coating shall be made at least once a week. If
the bath is not used for a period of time (weekly), the full analysis including the weight of coating shall be
done prior to be used. Records of the titration shall be kept for a minimum of 5 years.
The bath concentration and temperature, and immersion time for the parts shall be such that the phosphate
coating meets the following requirements:
2. The coating shall be evenly deposited, of uniform fine grain crystalline texture and have a uniform
color.
4.3 Phosphated parts (before they have dried) shall be thoroughly rinsed in clean, cold water. Rinsing may be
done by immersion or spraying. If immersion rinsing is used, a continuous overflow of fresh water shall be
maintained to prevent contamination of the bath to the extent that it becomes detrimental to the coating.
Parts shall be immersed only as long as required to remove residual chemicals from the phosphate bath.
4.4 First coat shall be applied within 4 hours of parts being phosphated. If the first coat cannot be applied within 4
hours after the phosphate operation, then part shall be re-blasted and re-phosphated beginning with Section
3.2.
4.5 Dry parts by blowing with clean, compressed air. The compressed air cleanliness of the spraying equipment
shall be verified in accordance with ASTM D4285 or an equivalent.

5.2.1 Apply coating materials per the following to obtain the coating dry film thicknesses specified in 5.2.2:
• To prevent the risk of coating blistering, apply the Everslik™ 1201 in two or three thin coats of
0.3-0.4 mils dry film thickness (DFT) with 15-30 minutes of air dry time between coats. Allow to
air dry for at least thirty minutes after the final coat before flash curing.
• Flash cure the Everslik® 1201 at 285°F ±15°F (140°C ±8°C) for 20-40 minutes.
• Apply the Everslik® 1301 at 0.2-0.5 mils DFT. Allow to air dry for at least 30 minutes and then
final bake the Everslik® 1201 top coat combination at 370°F ±10°F (188°C±5°C ) for one hour
part metal temperature.
• Temperature during flash cure and final cure shall be monitored using an attached thermocouple,
either on the production part or on an appropriate size heat sink.
• The curing oven and controlling device(s) used to cure the Everslik coating shall be calibrated at
least once a year.
The minimum and maximum values of the base and topcoat shall be subtracted from the average of
the (BMR+Phosphate) reading to ensure that each coat conforms to the proper thickness.

6.2 Inspection
The coater is responsible for performing the following inspection operations on the finished, coated parts.
Where specifically stated, inspection may be done on a sample from each lot. A lot is defined as a group of
identical parts that are processed together throughout all stages of coating (including curing) using identical
procedures and batches of coating materials.
The following sample plan shall be used when sample inspection is permitted:
Samples shall be removed randomly from the coating lot. Failure of any part within the sample shall cause
rejection of the entire lot. If a lot is rejected due to the failure of a sample part, other parts within the lot may
be accepted provided they are individually inspected and meet the acceptance criteria.
When specifically approved by Cameron Metallurgy for orders involving small parts where water
blasting may not be practical, the coating applicator may perform a tape test for adhesion in
accordance with the latest revision of ASTM D3359, Test Method B, in lieu of a water blast test. The
results shall meet classification 3B or better as defined in ASTM D3359. Testing shall be done either
on a production part in an area identified by Cameron Engineering, or on a separately coated test
coupon processed with the production parts. At least one tape adhesion test is required per coating
lot. Adhesion testing on a process validation test panel shall be performed using the tape test.

Once the qualification test panel results and procedure have been approved by Cameron Metallurgy then the
production parts shall be coated per the approved procedures.
This process validation shall be required at the initial qualification and at least every 5 years or following
significant change in working instruction. Any major change (such as equipment change, location, changes of
phosphating or coating material etc.) shall require re-qualification.
6.5 Records
The coater shall record the results of all tests that are performed and shall keep these records for a period of
not less than 5 years.
8.0 DOCUMENTATION
Coating logs (see Note 1) and adhesion reports shall be included in the final inspection acceptance report
for the qualification/production parts. The final inspection acceptance report with acceptable results shall be
submitted to Cameron at the end of the order as a part of Material Record Book (data package), along with
Certificate of Conformity. The coating applicator shall retain the log for a minimum of five (5) years after the
job has been completed.
Note 1: Supplier can use either the attached coating log or their own daily log contains as a minimum all the parameters of
Cameron daily log of this specification.
