Purpose

This specification covers the requirements for brush plating of low-hardness, low-stress nickel by electrodeposition.

Application

This process has been used typically to improve the corrosion and oxidation resistance of steel alloys, to repair damaged, worn, or mismachined parts requiring low residual surface stress, to prepare surfaces for brazing, and to repair nickel electrodeposits on parts with service a temperature up to 700 °F (371 °C) but is not limited to such applications.
