Custom Coating provides manganese phosphate coating services for steel and iron components requiring processing to SAE AMS 2481 requirements. We review customer drawings, purchase orders, revision levels, coating requirements, post-treatment needs, and testing expectations before production.
AMS 2481 is an aerospace and industrial material specification for phosphate treatment designed for anti-chafing applications. The specification covers manganese phosphate coatings applied to ferrous alloys.
AMS 2481 Phosphate Treatment
SAE AMS 2481 covers requirements for a manganese phosphate coating on ferrous alloys. The treatment is commonly associated with applications where surface characteristics can help minimize chafing between contacting surfaces and support retention of an oil film.
AMS 2481 requirements may involve:
- Manganese phosphate treatment of ferrous alloys
- Component preparation requirements
- Required coating properties
- Coating weight requirements
- Post-treatment requirements
- Testing and inspection requirements
- Customer-specific documentation and traceability requirements
Understanding AMS 2481 Applications
Anti-Chafing Performance
Manganese phosphate coatings may be specified for components where contacting metal surfaces require improved resistance to chafing and scuffing.
Oil Retention
The crystalline structure of manganese phosphate can retain oil or other specified lubricants, supporting applications involving sliding or moving components.
Ferrous Components
AMS 2481 applies to manganese phosphate treatments for ferrous alloys, including steel and iron components.
Our Approach to AMS 2481 Requirements
Processing to a specification requires more than simply applying a coating. Custom Coating reviews the applicable customer and production requirements before processing begins.
