Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new edit ions as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australi an Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives detail s of new publi cati ons, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australi a,
are welcomed. Noti fi cati on of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

FOREWORD
This specification deals with the coating of ISO metric threaded items of steel and
copper alloy by electrodeposition of the more common protective finishes. However,

(d) In order that threaded items which are to be plated may be manufactured to the
same thread class as those which are to be left with plain finish, and to ensure that
male and female threads of plated items assemble without interference, protective
coating thicknesses must be within the limits of the minimum clearances
determined by those classes. Hence the application of the recommended deposits
on ISO metric threads is limited by the fundamental deviation of the thread, its
pitch, and tolerance class. Tables have been drawn up showing the minimum pitch
that can be used to accommodate the coating thicknesses specified in this standard
for tolerance classes 6H with G deviation and 6G for nuts and tolerance
classes 6g, 6e and 8g for bolts without prejudicing the actual tolerance class
which may be specified for products in other Australian standards (see Fig. 4).
The probability of rejection by GO gauge of basic size, after plating, used in
drawing up these tables is less than that likely to be specified for final inspection

In practice, external threads receive a heavier coating on the tip of the threaded end
and on the head; this non-uniformity of coating increases with increasing
length/diameter ratio. Furthermore, some slight variation in coating distribution occurs
on the individual thread flanks, the tendency being for heavier deposition of coating
at the crest of the thread than at the root. The effect of these variations is to increase
the pitch diameter more than the theoretical factor of 4. Diagrammatic presentation of
clearance between an external and an internal thread is shown in Fig. 2.
NOTE: There are two types of electroplating process in common use, viz vat plati ng and barrel plati ng.
In vat plati ng the it ems are suspended individually in the plating solutions either by wires or on ji gs and
are connected electri call y to the cathode bar. In barr el plati ng the items are contained in a suit able vessel
which either contains the plati ng soluti on or is immersed in a tank of plati ng solution. In both cases the
barr el is rotated so as to ensure even mixing of the work, and electri c current is fed fr om item to it em in
the barrel load so that all items receive a coati ng. It has been found that the vari ations in average
