A. Go to the assist quicksearch website at http://assist.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/
You should find the spec there. I think the latest revision is revision E.

Hi, Rebecca.
I'm not sure that I understood the question, but Finish No. 7.3.1 is "Chemical film, chromate, MIL-DTL-5541
[⇦ this spec on DLA] or ASTM B449
Type II, Class 1A, for maximum protection against corrosion, painted or unpainted".
