Electroless Nickel Mil Spec Needed





I am looking for a mil spec for electroless nickel plating that controls the minimum and maximum amount of plating build up on the substrate. Preferably a min. of .0003 and a maximum of .001. Please note that these dimensions are Imperial.

Matt, there is the old MIL-C-26074 [⇦ this spec on DLA] which was cancelled and replaced by AMSC26074, available from SAE, and also replaced by the Military Detail specification, Mil-Dtl-26074. That one unfortunately has a controlled distribution, so it's not available freely over the web (as of 2002). Actually, I'd use AMS2404, also available from SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers).

Good luck!

While I respect Lee's opinion, he overlooked the most detailed and information dense specification which is ASTM B733. It not only details requirements, but has loads of design information. You may wish to consult it as well.
