      2. Metallographic Examination Limits for IAE 53-XX Coatings

        NOTE

        Coating must essentially have no inclusions or contamination at the coating-base metal interface and be without cracks, massive porosity, and excessive oxides. Specific characteristics for the various suffix numbers follow.
        The evaluation criteria for permitted and not permitted conditions are based on a 1/2 to 3/4 inch (12.7 to 19.0 mm) length of coating cross-section if the part or test piece configuration permits.
        The minimum magnification to examine coating thickness is 100X. If coating is level to within 0.0005 inch (0.013 mm), it is only necessary to report the predominant thickness. If coating tapers or varies more than 0.0005 inch (0.013 mm), it is necessary to report the range, or minimum, maximum, and predominant thickness. Thickness on test panels that do not represent actual parts is optional.
        1. Condition of Interface Between Coating and Base Metal (All Coatings)

          1. Examine the interface at 500X for contamination in the form of base metal oxides, grit, or coating remaining from other stripping operations. Do not include coating oxides as interface contamination.

          2. Record the percent of interface contamination. Refer to Interface Contamination microstructure photographs in SPM TASK 70-34-03-340-501.

            1. A maximum of 35 percent interface contamination and intermittent areas of straight line interface is permitted. For separation acceptance criteria, refer to RULE 17 in the SPM

            2. Greater than 35 percent interface contamination is not permitted.

          3. Do a check for straight-line interface and separation.

            NOTE

            Separation occurs when a well bonded coating has pulled away from the substrate (base metal). Surface roughness that is not sufficient and poor quality coating integrity can cause separation.
            1. Intermittent areas of straight-line interface are permitted. Refer to SPM TASK 70-34-03-340-501-001 for the definition of Frequency of Occurrence.

            2. Refer to RULE 17 in SPM TASK 70-34-03-340-501-001 for a rule for the metallographic examination of separation.

        2. Porosity

          1. All IAE 53 coatings

            1. Use 100X to 500X magnification, as necessary, to examine the microstructure for porosity. Estimate visually, quantify by image analysis or grid count, or compare with porosity comparison charts.

              Porosity which would usually be rejected is permitted if found in the areas of corners, grooves, or slots, or inside diameter (ID) of hole. Refer to SPM TASK 70-34-03-340-501 for the illustration that shows typical corners, grooves, or slots where greater amounts of porosity or oxides are permitted.

            2. Examine for the presence of any massive porosity.

              NOTE

              Massive porosity is individual voids greater than 0.0004 inch (0.010 mm) average diameter in fine coatings or greater than 0.001 inch (0.025 mm) average diameter in coarse coatings.
            3. For specific porosity acceptance standards, refer to steps Paragraph thru Paragraph.

        NOTE

        1. The usual magnification which is used to examine the coatings is 500X with approximate thickness of coating of 0.020 inch (0.508 mm).

        NOTE

        2. The coating thickness must be constant and have no inclusions at the coating to base metal interface to the level necessary with IAE 53 coatings. Refer to Paragraph
        1. Condition of interface between coating and base metal

          NOTE

          IAE 271 coatings can be machined with a single-point tool or by grinding. The speeds and feeds must not be too fast or tearing of the coating with subsequent flaking, and breakup will occur.
          1. The coating must be bonded to the base metal.

          2. The coating must be constant and have no spalling, chipping, flaking, or other unwanted defects.

        2. Porosity

          1. IAE 271-37 and IAE 271-48: 2.5 percent maximum

          2. IAE 271-47: 10 percent maximum

          3. IAE 271-13 and IAE 271-35: Refer to Paragraph for the limits for the equivalent IAE 53 suffixes.

        3. Cracks and/or shrinkage

          1. Refer to Paragraph for the requirements for the equivalent IAE 53 suffixes.

        4. Laminar features

          1. These features are caused by the deposition process and are permitted unless separation can be seen.

      4. Metallographic examination limits for IAE 36206- XX coatings.

        1. Examine and measure the coating unetched for thickness and distribution at a minimum of 100X magnification. Measure the thickness to the nearest 0.0005 inch (0.013mm).

          IGNORE:

          1. Mechanical damage

          2. Isolated valleys

          3. Humps

          4. Pits

        2. Examine the coating properties for these conditions:

          1. Quality of Coating/Base Material Interface.

            1. Examine the interface between the coating and base material at 200X to 500X magnification. Contamination can be in the form of:

              Grit

              Oxides

              Coating remaining from other stripping operation

            2. Also do a check for coating/base metal separation.

          2. Cracks:

            1. Examine at 100X to 500X magnification for cracks in the required area. It is important to know the difference between cracks caused by mechanical preparation and those that are not.

            2. Cracks that propagate along or parallel to the base metal are most commonly caused by mechanical damage.

            3. Cracks perpendicular to the base metal can be caused by flexion of the substrate or by thermal stresses, and should be recorded.

              Cracks are not permitted.

          3. Porosity:

            1. Examine for porosity at 100X to 500X magnification, as necessary.

              Acceptable (Satisfactory): Up to 3%

              Rejectable (Unsatisfactory): Greater than 3%

            2. For examples of porosity, refer to General data.

          4. Interface Contamination

            1. Examine for contamination at 100X to 500X magnification as necessary.

              Acceptable (Satisfactory): Up to 25% of the interface with no separation

              Rejectable (Unsatisfactory): Greater than 25% of the interface with no separation

            2. For examples of interface contamination, refer to General Data.

          5. Oxides and Oxide Stringers. Refer to Table.

            1. Examine for oxides at 100X to 500X magnification

              1. Oxides will appear as dark gray stringers.

              2. The quantity of oxides can be measured by: visual estimate, image analysis, or grid count.

      5. Hardness test (IAE 53-1, IAE 53-5, IAE 53-10, IAE 53-16, IAE 53-38 and IAE 53-69 coatings, and IAE 36206-7 and IAE 36206-8 coatings only).

        1. The average hardness which must be indicated for the test on a cross-section of each coating is given below. If cracks occur with a 10.6 oz (300 g) load, do the test again with a 3.5 oz (100 g) load, or less.

          1. IAE 53-1: Minimum hardness of 700 DPH

          2. IAE 53-5: Hardness of 450 to 850 DPH
