ASTM B580-79(2004)
Historical Standard: ASTM B580-79(2004) Standard Specification for Anodic Oxide Coatings on Aluminum
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM B580
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers requirements for electrolytically formed porous oxide coatings on aluminum and aluminum alloy parts in which appearance, abrasion resistance, electrical properties, and protection against corrosion are important. Nonporous, barrier layer anodic coatings used for electrical capacitors are not covered. Seven types of coatings as shown in are provided. Definitions and typical examples of service conditions are provided in Appendix X1.
Note 1It is recognized that uses exist in which modifications of the coatings covered by this specification may be required. In such cases the particular properties desired by the purchaser should be the subject of agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
