Hard Coating Treatment of Aluminum Alloys Teflon-Impregnated or Codeposited ( Reaffirmed: Apr 2006 )
This specification establishes the engineering requirements for producing a hard, teflon-impregnated or codeposited coating on aluminum alloys and the properties of such coating. This process has been used typically to increase, by the formation of a dense, teflon-impregnated aluminum oxide, surface hardness and resistance to abrasion and corrosion of aluminum alloy parts containing, in general, less than 5% copper or 8% silicon or a total of 8% of both. Alloys with higher silicon content alone can be coated satisfactorily with proper precautions in processing. Careful consideration should be given to the use of this process on highly-stressed parts because of the resultant marked lowering of fatigue performance, and on parts with sharp corners and edges where chipping may result.
