Under the heading of metallic and inorganic coatings, specifications establish requirements for electrodeposited coatings of cadmium, tin, and mechanically-deposited zinc. This volume includes tests for measuring the properties of anodically-coated aluminum, determining coating thickness and corrosion, and electroforming, electroplating, and surface preparation.



Volume 02.05 features standards for metal powders and metal powder products. It includes test methods and specifications that deal with base metal powders, cemented carbides, refractory metal powders, density, flow rate, hardness, and particulate size. This volume also features standards for powder metallurgy (P/M) and metal injection molded (MIM) structural parts.
