Description / Abstract:
Purpose
This specification covers the requirements for inspection of
ground chromium plated surfaces for grinder-induced damage to the
chromium plate and substructure. The specification also provides
users with criteria for distinguishing between such damage and
acceptable indications inherent to the chromium plate.
Application
This procedure is used for nondestructive testing of heat
treated, high strength (180 ksi (1240 MPa) or higher tensile
strength), low-alloy steel parts that have been chromium plated and
subsequently ground, but usage is not limited to such
applications.
