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.
