MIL-STD-868 › Nickel Plating, Low Embrittlement, Electro-Deposition
Included in this current edition are the following subparts:
REV B VALIDATION 1 - Feb. 28, 2014
REV B VALIDATION 2 - Dec. 21, 2023
Scope
This standard covers the process and materials required for the electro-deposition of nickel on high strength steel substrates. Electro-deposited nickel is used for wear resistance, heat resistance, and as an undercoat for precious metals. Subsequent heat treating techniques needed to insure low hydrogen embrittlement of steel are also described. This standard meets the performance requirements of SAE AMS-QQ-N-290 and may be used when SAE AMS-QQ-N-290 is specified provided any unique requirements of SAE AMS-QQ-N-290 are complied with.
Notes
Claudia's Notes:

SUMMARY OF CHANGE 2 MODIFICATIONS:
Paragraph 2.3, Non-Government Standards & Specifications: Changed SAE AMS-S-13165 with SAE AMS-2430, Shot Peening.
The following detail requirement of MIL-STD-868B has been revised, paragraph 5.3.2, Step Number 2:
New Requirement: Parts shall be dry blasted using 80 – 320 grit aluminum (AI2O3), silicon dioxide (SiO2), or garnet per MIL-STD-1504. Elapsed time between completion of cleaning and the next step shall not exceed four (4) hours.
Old Requirement: Parts shall be dry blasted using 80 – 320 grit aluminum (AI2O3), silicon dioxide (SiO2), or garnet per MIL-STD-1504. Elapsed time between completion of cleaning and the next step shall not exceed sixty minutes.
Reworded paragraph 1.2.2 and took "shall" out.
