scope:
This standard covers the process and materials required for the electrodeposition of nickel on high strength steel substrates. Subsequent heat treating techniques needed to insure low embrittlement of steel are also described.
This standard meets and exceeds the requirements of QQ-N-290 and should be used when plating in accordance with QQ-N-290 is a requirement.
Electrodeposited nickel is used for wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance and as an undercoat for precious metals.
Nickel plating covered by this standard will be of the engineering class only.
Nickel plating covered by this standard shall be of the following types:
a. Type I - Plated to specified dimensions
b. Type II - Processed to specified dimensions after plating
