Revision: 2008
Finish: Nickel
Company: ASTM
Application: This specification covers the requirements for electroplated nickel coatings applied to metal products for engineering applications for use as a buildup for mismachined or wont parts, for electronic applications, including as underplates in contacts or interconnections, and in certain joining applications.
Appearance: Varies
Plate Thickness: Thickness per 6.5, Note 8. Or as specified or Depending on class. Class defines a minimum nickel thickness as follows: Class 5: 5 um, Class 25: 25 um, Class 50: 50 um, Class 100: 100 um, Class 200: 200 um
Strike Thickness: None specified
Notes: Type 1 - Nickel electroplate from solutions not containing hardeners, brighteners, or stress control additives. Type 2 - Nickel Electrodeposits used at moderate temperatures and containing sulfur or other codeposited elements or compounds that are present to increase the hardness, to refine the grain structure, or control the internal stress of the nickel. Type 3 - Electrodeposited nickel containing dispersed submicron particles, such as silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, and aluminum oxide that are present to increase hardness and wear resistance at temperatures above 325 degrees C.
