The requirements of this standard apply to the significant surfaces of a part. Unless otherwise specified
on the part drawing, significant surfaces for plating thickness and corrosion resistance determination are
.li 0

all surfaces that can be touched by a 20 mm (0.75 in) diameter sphere. For tubular-shaped parts or
co 02

similar geometry with deep recesses, the significant surface shall extend into the depth a distance of 1.5
times the opening dimension unless otherwise specified.

The threads of threaded fasteners are not classified as significant surfaces. However, the entire head
m 06

area of screws and bolts, and the unthreaded shanks of bolts are significant surfaces. The recessed area
used for the internal drive feature (e.g. Torx® head) does not need to meet minimum thickness but shall

meet all other characteristics including appearance and corrosion resistance.

4.4.2 Workmanship
to

The plating shall be smooth, adherent, and free of blisters, pits, nodules, roughness, cracks and other
functional defects. Coverage shall be complete and uniform in appearance with respect to the
electroplated deposit. Passivates, topcoats and/or sealers shall completely cover the plated surfaces, be

adherent and dry-to-touch but not powdery. Iridescence in the finish is expected and acceptable for parts
with the clear or blue-bright designation.

4.4.3 Thickness***

The plate thickness on all significant surfaces must meet the minimum thickness as specified by the
thickness designation. Unless otherwise specified on the part drawing, significant surfaces are all

surfaces that can be touched by a 20 mm (0.75 in) diameter sphere.

Except for the microscopic method, it is essential to calibrate the test instrument with an alloy of the same

po 1) -
composition as that being measured.

To insure compliance with the thickness requirements of this standard, the plating thicknesses shall be
om +
measured on a regular and frequent basis using acceptable sampling plans, such as recommended in
pc TC

ASTM B697, B602, and B762 or equivalents. Control charts and records documenting compliance with
the thickness requirements of this standard shall be prepared and maintained.

In the event of a discrepancy for thickness determination, the microscopic cross section shall be used.

other thicknesses are necessary for a particular application, drawing notes shall be used to designate the

required thickness. If no thickness is specified on the drawing, the default is 8 microns minimum. Unless
Oc

otherwise specified on drawing, contact FCA Materials Engineering for corrosion performance
requirements not defined by Table 4.

B. Maximum Deposit Thickness

Because of various factors such as the part configuration and type of plating process used, the maximum
thickness values cannot be defined. The maximum thickness must not interfere with the assembly or
performance of the part. When necessary, a maximum thickness may be defined on the print.

C. Coating Build Capability (Part / Rack Mapping)

For all components plated to this standard, the supplier shall analyze parts plated in a production intent

process taken from the highest and lowest current density locations on the plating rack for Coating Build

r RE
Capability. For barrel or bulk plating processes, a minimum of 5 pieces shall be measured from a single
load. The selected parts shall be checked for thickness at all identified significant surfaces, or as required

.b HA
by Supplier Quality.

To complete the Coating Build Capability study, each selected part is measured in numerous locations

om IN
reflecting all significant surfaces defined in section 4.4.1 or drawing requirements. Each measurement
must be less than 10 cm apart and appropriately distributed based on the part size and configuration such

.c L
that each significant surface is inspected.

The Coating Build Capability study will verify the effectiveness of the proposed rack design to meet the

required thickness. Additionally, the coating thickness analysis will provide data to determine the coating

thickness distribution across the entire part, verify conformance to all significant surfaces requirements
and assist in selecting P-Points by FCA Supplier Quality for routine coating thickness control.

The supplier is responsible for using auxiliary anodes, current robbers or shields when coating parts to
this standard to meet the plating thickness requirements for all significant surfaces. All testing to verify

other improvements.

4.4.4 Topcoats and/or Sealers

es id:
The use of a topcoat or sealer is recommended on parts other than fasteners, surfaces that will be
welded, or components requiring electrical conductivity. The topcoat or sealer must be dry-to-the-touch

nt er
and pass all fluid compatibility requirements for each application. The topcoat or sealer must not interfere

ne us
with the assembly or performance of the part. For parts other than fasteners, topcoats do not require
FCA approval. On fasteners and other threaded parts, the use of lubricant or lubricated sealer for
lowering the friction coefficient must be pre-approved by FCA Materials Engineering.

When lubrication is required on fasteners, the bolt frictions coefficients must range between Cf = 0.10 to
0.16, unless otherwise indicated on drawing. If no lubrication is specified, the bolt friction coefficient must

range between CoF = 0.12 to 0.30 (total friction).

Different values must be specified on drawing. Example : PS.50036 No. C8 SC2 LUB (Cf = 0.12 to
