ASTM B733 Specification

Do you need a reliable PCB finishes provider who offers electroless nickel plating services that meet and exceed the stringent ASTM B733 requirements? Look no further than Alternate Finishing, Inc.

Understanding The ASTM B733 Specification

This is a widely recognized standard in the United States that specifies requirements for electroless nickel plating on various substrates.

One reason this specification is important is because it ensures that the nickel coatings applied on the metal and composite surfaces provide better corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and improved solderability for the various applications in which the finishes are used.

Some Key Aspects of Theย ASTM B733ย Specification

Key aspects for this specification include defining the requirements for coating thickness, composition, adhesion, and performance properties like hardness and corrosion resistance. 

The standard categorizes coatings into different types based on their low, medium, or high phosphorus content. It also outlines quality assurance procedures such as inspection methods and acceptance criteria for uniform coatings. Because of this uniformity, many industries like aerospace, electronics, and automotive, rely on this standard to make durable products.
