Electro Polish

No military specification assigned - An electric process used to remove the outer layer of material to brighten primarily steel-stainless steel and brass alloys.

Anodize Finishes - (2,3,3a,3b,4 and 4a): Anodized finishes are intended to provide corrosion resistance, improve paint adhesion and abrasion resistance, for aluminum and aluminum alloy parts. Good dielectric properties.
Anodize (Hard) Finishes - (5): Color will vary from light tan to black depending on alloy and thickness. Provides very hard ceramic type coating. Good dielectric properties. Corrosion resistance is good.
Caution: (-5) Anodize finishes are recommended on aluminum alloys of 1/2" in diameter or greater due to the higher current required to apply said coating.
Silver Plated Finish (-10): Use on aluminum to enhance conductivity.
Alodine - (15): Provides protection and corrosion resistance. For aluminum and aluminum alloys.
lridite - (22): Primarily used for protection against corrosion where lower electrical resistance is required. Will improve adhesion of paint systems on aluminum and aluminum alloys.
Lubricant - Solid Film - Heat Cured - Corrosion inhibiting (39, 39a): Reduces wear and prevents galling when used on aluminum and aluminum alloys.
 

Nickel Plated finishes - 9,9a: Nickel finish is hard, bright - has an attractive look - and is corrosive resistant, Copper plated - Copper - Copper alloys - Zinc, Zinc based alloys and brass parts. Steel parts.
Bright Dip - (21): Used to brighten brass material.
Tin Plate - (19,20,20a,38): Depending on the thickness/application specified by the customer. Tin plate can be utilized for articles to be soldered; to prevent galling; to prevent corrosion or to prevent formation of case during nutriding.
Clear Lacquer - (29): Provides protective tarnish and corrosion resistance, used mostly on brass.
Water Dip Lacquer - (30): Provides protective tarnish and corrosion resistance, used mostly on brass.
Zinc Plate (31,31a,31b,31d,31e): Electro deposited zinc coatings applied to brass articles provides protection from corrosion.
Black Zinc - (35): Provides corrosion resistance, decorative, used on brass.
Black Satin Finish - (37): Is a decorative finish, used on brass.

Nickel Plated finishes - (9, 9a): Nickel finish is hard, bright, - has an attractive look - and is corrosive resistant. copper plated - Copper - Copper Alloys.
Silver Plate Finish - (10): Semi-bright in appearance. Good corrosion resistance depending on base metal. Will tarnish easily. Solderability is excellent but decreases with age. For articles such as terminals which are to be soldered. Also used on copper to enhance electrical Conductivity.
Lubricant- Solid Film - Heat Cured - Corrosion inhibiting (39, 39a): Reduces wear and prevents galling.

Passivate - (12,12a): A process designed to remove foreign metals from the surface of stainless steel and corrosion resistant steels and to prevent natural tendency of surface to oxidize.
Zinc Plate - (31,31a,31b,31d,31e): Electro deposited zinc coatings applied to brass, steel and stainless steel articles provides protection from corrosion. Service lift of zinc coating is a function of its thickness and the type of environment to which it is exposed. Bright or dull finish acceptable.
Black Zinc - (35): Provides corrosion resistance, decorative, used on stainless steel.
Black Satin Finish - (37): Is a decorative finish, used on stainless steel.
Lubricant - Solid Film - Heat cured - Corrosion inhibiting (39, 39a): Reduces wear and prevents galling when used on stainless steel.
Black oxide - (11, 11a): For 300 series corrosion resistance - steel only.

Cadmium - 6,6a,7,8: Bright silvery supplementary treatments for Type II can be golden, iridescent. Corrosion resistance is very good.
Black Oxide - (11,lla): Black oxide coatings; without supplementary preservative treatment are used when black surface is required. Limited corrosion protection under mildly corrosive conditions, For decorative purposes or decrease in light reflection.
Chromium Platings - (26): Provides a bright decorative finish; corrosion protection; wear resistance and pleasing appearance.
 
(27): Known as industrial or hard chromium; provides wear and abrasion resistance and incidental corrosion protection of parts as the specified thickness of the plating may afford.
Zinc Plate - (31,31a,31b,31d,31e): Electro deposited zinc coatings applied to iron, steel, stainless steel and brass articles provides protection from corrosion. Service life of zinc coating is a function of its thickness and the type of environment to which it is exposed. Bright or dull finish is acceptable.
Black Zinc - (35): Provides corrosion resistance, decorative, used on steel alloys.
Solder Plate - (32): Provides corrosion protection and solderability.
Black Phosphate - (34): Provides corrosion resistance; also acts as a lubricant. (28): Engineering chromium is usually applied directly to base metal and is finished by grinding to the specific dimensions.
Black Finish - (37): Is a decorative finish, used on steel alloys.
Lubricant - Solid Film - Heat Cured - Corrosion inhibiting (39, 39a): Reduces wear and prevents galling when used on steel alloys.
