Significance and Use
3.1 The data generated by this test method shall be used to determine whether low embrittling zinc-nickel plated parts are liable to be corroded or damaged by application of the test material during routine maintenance operations.
Scope
1.1 This test method is intended as a means of determining the corrosive effects of aircraft maintenance chemicals on low-embrittling zinc-nickel plating used on aircraft high-strength steel, under conditions of total immersion by quantitative measurements of weight change. Aircraft maintenance chemicals requiring this test method shall be determined by the cognizant engineering authority.
