Coatings for electrical connector shells. Progress report, 1 Jul 1975--1 Jul 1976. [Ni--Cd coating of 6061 aluminium to protect against SO/sub 2/--salt sprays]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7223267
Coatings for improved corrosion protection of aluminum alloy connector shells have been investigated with a view toward replacing currently employed coatings. Cyclic heating/corrosion tests as well as S0/sub 2/--salt spray exposure have indicated that duplex electroless nickel--cadmium coatings protect 6061 aluminum alloy well if they are thick enough (17.8 micrometer (.0007 in)). Use of these coatings is recommended. (auth)
