PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION
ZINC‐NICKEL ELECTROPLATING FOR FASTENERS
This specification is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense
1 SCOPE
Scope. This specification covers requirements for an electrodeposited zinc‐nickel (Zn‐Ni)
alloy plating with a hexavalent chromium‐free conversion coating and supplementary top coat or
sealant. This MIL specification selects desired options from ASTM F1941/F1941M and details
additional requirements, such as plating composition and torque/tension behavior of the plating on
surrogate threaded fasteners. Although developed for threaded steel fasteners, this plating may be
used on other steel products. While other plating thickness and supplementary treatment options
are available for unique applications, the requirements of this specification are limited to the
ASTM F1941/F1941M codes specified herein. This specification is intended for use on new fasteners
and fasteners which previously may have specified coatings containing cadmium or hexavalent
chromium, substances which have been added to the Aerospace and Defense Declarable Substances
List ("AD‐DSL").
Plating of internal diameters. When process limitations will not allow adequate plating to be
deposited on internal diameters requiring corrosion protection, an alternate method of protection
should be specified in a drawing or acquisition document.
Classification. Classification of this zinc‐nickel plating is consistent with the requirements of
ASTM F1941/F1941M (see 3.2) with the addition of a Torque/Tension Type.
