Mil-F-14072 requirements

2002

Need to know if anyone is familiar enough with MIL-DTL-14072 [on DLA] to tell me what processing is involved with the e300 designation or if I need more information to correctly interpret the requirements.

Thanks to all.

E300 is passivation of stainless steel per ASTM ASTM A380 . The passivation will be dependent upon the type of stainless.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF MIL-DTL-14072 [on DLA] E300 DICTATES A HIGH
HUMIDITY TEST OR ANY OTHER? (SALT SPRAY ETC)?

SOME VENDORS ADD A CHARGE FOR THIS SAYING IT IS A
REQUIREMENT. ALL THAT I READ WOULD SUGGEST TESTING IS ONLY
REQUIRED IF SPECIFIED ON PRINT OR CUSTOMER REQUESTS TESTING.
ACTUALLY, THE OLD QQ-P-35C [from DLA] SPEC SEEMS TO INDICATE THE SAME.
