Full Description

Published annually in May.

This volume contains 192 standards.

Under the heading of metallic and inorganic coatings, specifications establish requirements for various coatings such as electrodeposited coatings of cadmium, tin, and mechanically deposited zinc. It describes tests for measuring the properties of anodically coated aluminum; determining coating thickness and corrosion; and electroforming, electroplating, and surface preparation. Others deal with metal powders and metal powder products that measure properties of cemented carbides and how to measure apparent density and flow rate of metal powders.

Specifications that set down the property requirements and related measurement techniques for metal powder structural parts and sintered bearings appear, as well as tests that detail how to assess the qualities of porcelain enamel, such as abrasion resistance, adhesion, and thermal shock resistance.
