SAE International

Hard Anodic Coating of Magnesium Alloys Alkaline Type, High Voltage
 N AMS2467

Annotation

Form:

This specification establishes the procedures used to produce a hard anodic coating on magnesium alloys and the properties of the coating

Application:

This coating has been used typically to provide corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance to sand-cast magnesium alloys, but usage is not limites to such applications

Classification:

Anodic finishes are classified by coating thickness as follows:

Class 1 Thin coating: Coating thickness shall be in the range of 0.0002 to 0.0004 inch (5 to 10 ?m) and produce a dimensional buildup on the part of 0.0001 to 0.0002 inch (2.5 to 5 ?m)

Class 2 Thick coating: Coating thickness shall be in the range of 0.0008 to 0.0010 inch (20 to 25 ?m) and produce a dimensional buildup on the part of 0.0004 to 0.0005 inch (10 to 12.7 ?m)

If a class is not specified, lass 1 shall be supplied
