APLICABLE SPECIFICATION

MIL-T-10727

TYPE 1- Electrodeposited.

NORMAL COATING THICKNESS AND COLOR APPEARANCE

TYPE 1- Thickness not specified suggested are:
.00001-.00025 for soldering.
.0002-.0004 to prevent galling or seizing.
.0003 minimun to prevent corrosión of basis metal.
.0002-.0006 to prevent case forming in nitriding.

COMMENTS

Dull (mate) or bright appearance must be specified. Underplate of copper or nickel must be use don brass an zinc alloys. Excellent solerability and fair corrosión esistance. At room temperatura TYPE1 dull plating oxidizes slowly but bright plating oxidizes less readily. Parts to be soldered or used for electrical cntacts can be protected from oxide formation by a preservative coating of stearic acid as specified. TYPE 1 plating may be fused but thickness will vary after treatment. A máximum of .0003 thick plating must be maintained to permit satisfactory fusing.
