Plating codes MFZn-Ni, MFZn1c, MFZn2-C, MFZn-1S-2, MFZn8-S, MFzn8-CF

A. Per your question regarding MFZn2-C, "C" means Yellow passivation.
B means Blue passivation,
C means Yellow passivation and
K means Black passivation

? I think C may refer to CLEAR and K may refer to Black? Be happy to hear from someone who KNOWS!

A. C means the Zn plating color is yellow, and B means Bright color.

A. Answering my own question...

MFZn2-C is defined in Honda spec HES D2003-05.

How to interpret MFZn2-C (what the M means, what the F means, etc) is defined in Honda HES A3010-05.

Unfortunately, as best I can tell, the "-C" just means "colored chromate" and doesn't indicate clear or yellow.

Hi John. Thanks so much for giving us the Honda specification numbers! This should greatly help out the many posters who made reference to those Honda codes thinking they were specification numbers.

Luck & Regards,

A. Hi Angie. I believe that that one might be a Mitsubishi Motors spec for zinc plating on a steel substrate. Good luck!

A. Hi Muhammad.

It has the ring of a Honda spec, so if you have no reason to believe otherwise, please contact Honda for the spec. You can't offer plating to a spec. without having the spec. in hand, so finding out what the acronyms stand for isn't the full answer anyway. Good luck!

A. Hi cousin. Sorry, but we seem to be having some language difficulties. You've told us this is a Honda spec. for Zn-Ni plating with 6-10% nickel, a minimum of 8 microns in thickness, and must be bright in color, so I don't quite understand what you mean by "in detail" :-)

If you're asking us to put the spec on line or email it to you, sorry, no one is permitted to do that except your Honda buyer and those specification clearing houses (if any) which have licensed that right from Honda. Sorry but you must contact your Honda buyer for these specs. Good luck!

A. Hi Puma ,

'MFZn8Cr3' means:

Zn - Zinc plating
8 - Thickness 8 microns
Cr3 - Trivalent Chromate Passivation

Regards,

My guess is either that there's a typo there and what you wrote doesn't specify a thickness; or that it's a Honda spec. where the 2 means class 2 and 8 microns. But please don't guess :-)

Regards,

A. I work within the Honda organisation and have access to the specs.
I can confirm that MFZn2-C translates as:-
Electroplate, ferrous, Zinc, plating grade 2, Coloured chromate.

A. Shripad,
If it's a Honda specification, the best place to get it would be from Honda themselves.

A. Kanhaiya,
Maybe you've gotten the idea from the replies to the older similar questions below, but the best thing to do in a situation like this is go back to the CUSTOMER, ask what spec or standard the plating grade comes from, if they can give you a copy of that spec or standard, and if not where you can get it from.

A proper drawing should have the relevant spec or standard listed right on there.

A. Hi Muhammad. No, they are not the same.
Thank you for writing in American english, but I think we're having language difficulties, because people have repeatedly tried to make the same two points.

1. Codes like "AAA", "ED", "SAD", and "MFZnIII" mean nothing at all out of context. "III" could mean "trivalent chromate", it could mean "level III inspection", it could mean "for type III (severe) exposure
2. Offering a price quote on something, let alone trying to supply it, without the specification in hand is a problem. You must obtain the spec; your customer supplies the spec, or tells you where to get it.

Luck & Regards,
