plating tolerance 3

[joebk]

We typically specify zinc plating according to ASTM B633 including the thickness of the plating. We do not specify a tolerance for the thickness and I haven't been able to find anything that indicates what "standard" tolerances are for zinc electroplating.

Does anybody have any standards or experience with this you would be willing to share?

Thanks!!

I've compiled about as much as I could in the my extra time over the past week or so regarding plating in the attached updated excel file. Though data is accurate, this should be treated as a tertiary reference, and not used for critical operations without checking the appropriate standards. If there is missing information you can fill in or corrections necessary, please feel free to modify the file and attach to a posting on eng-tips in this forum.
