Scope: This specification defines performance requirements for Capron Components which require Electropolishing and/or Passivation of Stainless Steel. Thank you for visiting Capron Manufacturing’s specifications data base and please let us know if you have any questions.
ASTM’s metallic coating norms are instrumental in the assessment and examination of the physical, chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical properties of metallic powders planned for use as coating material. These standards help to recognize attributes, for example, thickness, particle size, compressibility, rupture strength, and surface finishing among others. Additionally, these metallic coating norms permit powder metallurgy labs, and different organizations that manage metallic powder coatings to fittingly test them for the chemical and mechanical characteristics to which they ought to acclimate.

All of the following requirements must be met to achieve acceptable quality. No one requirement, exclusive of others, is capable of insuring satisfactory performance.
All part testing requirements apply to those areas of the part identified as a significant surface unless otherwise specified.
THE FOLLOWING SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERISTICS WILL BE MEASURED AND KEPT ON FILE.
- Cleaning Prior to Electropolishing & Passivation of Stainless Steel:
Stainless Steel parts shall be cleaned using principles defined in ASTM A380, and/or ASTM A380M-17 - Corrosion Protection:
Parts must meet corrosion requirement corresponding to service condition/hours, as specified by purchase
