MIL-C-26074 Plating Specifications

What is MIL-C-26074?

MIL-C-26074 is an electroless nickel plating specification for applying precision coatings to a variety of shapes and sizes. These specifications are typically used within the  aerospace, automotive, home electronics, oil & gas, as well as the pharmaceutical industries. Common applications for the MIL-C-26074 (AMS 26074) specification are barrel plating, rack plating, and vibratory plating.

Accurate Precision Plating electroless nickel plates all mediums to meet MIL-C-26074 plating specification standards, and in all classes (class 1, 2, 3, and 4) and Grade A-C. The specification can cover requirements for electroless deposition of nickel coatings on a variety of metal surfaces. Below is a description of each of these classes:

 

 

 MIL-C-26074

   CLASS     

DESCRIPTION

1

 As plated, there is no subsequent heat treatment.

2

 Heat treatment to achieve required hardness, and can be used on any metal that is not impacted by heating 500°F and above.

3

 Aluminum alloys not treatable by heat, and beryllium alloys are processed to aid in adhesion of the nickel.

4

 Aluminum alloys, treatable by heat, processed to aid in adhesion of nickel deposit.

 

Grades

Grade A should follow the grade of 0.0010 - inch minimum thickness.

Grade B should follow the grade of 0.0005 - inch minimum thickness.

Grade C should follow the grade of 0.0015 - inch minimum thickness.
