MIL-C-26074 And AMS 2404 Specifications

Our electroless nickel plating finishes meet and exceed the MIL-C-26074 and AMS 2404 specifications. Look no further if you need a provider who can deliver quality finishes adhering to these specifications.

About MIL-C-26074

This is a military specification for electroless nickel plating. Electroless nickel plating is a process used to deposit a nickel-phosphorus alloy coating onto various substrates without using an electrical current. 

MIL-C-26074 outlines the requirements for the composition properties, and performance of the coating, including thickness, adhesion, hardness, and corrosion resistance.

The specification covers requirements for a variety of metal surfaces that are divided into grades and classes. There are three grades with each having a minimum thickness and there are four classes used to identify what procedural changes or post-treatments are required.

The AMS 2404 Specification

The Aerospace Material Specification (AMS) 2404 is a critical specification for the requirements of electrodeposited nickel plating.

It covers the process of applying a nickel coating to metal substrates using an electrical current. 

Like MIL-C-26074, this standard is meant to enhance the surface properties of the parts but it also specifies types of nickel deposits, such as sulfur-free and sulfur-containing deposits, and sets guidelines for heat treatment and hydrogen embrittlement relief.
