MIL-C-5541 Class 3
Dear Sir, we are currently looking for MIL-C-5541 Class 3 Type. I only can find the MIL specification information, but no cross-reference to any product. May it be possible to send a cross reference list between MIL-C-5541 Class 3 to the common used product. Within your information (Questions and Answers) I only found the
Iridite, but there should be another type of coating being reference to.
Thank you for your help.
