Understanding The AMS 2424 & AMS 2403 Specifications
AMS 2424 and AMS 2403 set critical standards for electroless nickel-phosphorus plating, a process that deposits a nickel alloy coating onto a substrate without the use of electrical current. These specifications promote uniform results with excellent corrosion resistance and wear properties.
In general, the AMS specifications are great for manufacturers and end-users because they guarantee compatibility of materials and ensure that the finished components meet or exceed the standards required to efficiently operate in all aerospace applications.
