Standards and Specifications

AMS 2404

Plating, Electroless Nickel

This specification covers the requirements for electroless nickel deposited on various materials. Electroless nickel has been typically used to provide a uniform build-up on intricate shapes, to improve wear and/or corrosion resistance, or to improve solderability on or for selected materials, but usage is not limited to such applications.

AMS 2488

Anodic Treatment - Titanium and Titanium Alloys Solution pH 13 or Higher

This specification establishes the engineering requirements for producing the anodic coating on titanium and titanium alloys and the properties of the coating. These coatings have been used typically as a lubricating and anti-galling coating for elevated temperature forming, as an isolating film for increased resistance to galvanic corrosion, to provide improved wear resistance and as a pretreatment for the application of solid film lubricants. Canadize® complies with Type 2 as an anti-galling coating.

AMS 2469

Hard Anodic Coating on Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys

This specification establishes the requirements for a hard anodic coating on aluminum and aluminum alloys. Tufram® coatings meet the requirements of AMS2469.

AMS 2482

Hard Anodic Coating on Aluminum Alloys PTFE-Impregnated or Codeposited

This specification establishes the requirements for a hard aluminum oxide coating, impregnated or co-deposited with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) on aluminum alloys. Several coatings within the Tufram® family meet the requirements of AMS 2482 Type 1.

ASTM B733

Autocatalytic (Electroless) Nickel-Phosphorus Coatings on Metal

This specification covers requirements for autocatalytic (electroless) nickel-phosphorus coatings applied from aqueous solutions to metallic products for engineering (functional) uses.
