Electroplated Coatings – Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys with Additional Treatments – Requirements and Test Methods. SS-EN 15646:2009 specifies requirements and test methods for electroplated coatings on aluminum and aluminum alloys undergoing additional treatments to enhance performance. The standard defines minimum requirements for coating thickness, corrosion resistance, and adhesion, as well as test methods to verify compliance. It also addresses post-treatments, such as anodizing and chemical processes, to improve surface properties like wear resistance and electrical conductivity. The standard is critical for industries using aluminum components, such as automotive and aerospace, where high performance and long lifespan are essential.
