Chemical Conversion Coatings
Applied Technical Services performs MIL-DTL 81706 testing for our military clients to verify that the anti-corrosion coatings they use on aluminum substrates perform to specifications. Aircraft and other advanced equipment require every component to work together flawlessly to ensure the safety of their operators and the security of the mission. ATS recognizes this and offers a wide variety of military standard testing services to ensure the success of these defense materials for all sorts of contractors, from parts suppliers to manufacturers. Our technicians use their experience performing MIL-DTL 81706 to assess chemical conversion coatings — employed in a variety of materiel applications because they improve abrasion and corrosion resistance, help paints mechanically bond to their substrate, and stabilize material conductivity — and check that their properties meet the requirements of the final product’s intended service conditions.
Because of their range of applications, many components use chemical conversion coatings and thus require MIL-DTL 81706 testing. Some of the most commonly used on aircraft include:
  • Plates
  • Hulls
  • Rudder Systems
  • Landing Gears
  • Torsion Struts
  • Side Struts
  • Shock Absorbers
MIL-DTL 81706 and Our Other Military Standard Testing Capabilities
We perform a variety of test methods consistent with the MIL-DTL 81706 standard, such as salt spray corrosion resistance, paint adhesion analysis, coating weight measurements, electrical resistance determination, and sample storage in hot and cold environments. Our expertise in performing MIL-DTL 81706-compliant testing allows us to better serve parts suppliers to the defense industry, giving them a trusted resource to validate their materials and processes. We maintain ISO 17025 accreditation to perform one of the underlying standards for chemical conversion coating analysis required by MIL-DTL 81706, ASTM B117, and perform all associated testing methods to specification in accordance with our ISO 9001-certified quality management system.
In addition to our expertise with this specification, we also perform the other military standard testing services, including the following:
  • MIL-PRF-85285D
  • MIL-STD 810H
  • MIL-STD-202
