SAE AMS2436D

This specification covers the engineering requirements for applying aluminum oxide to metal parts by detonation deposition and the properties of such coatings.

This process has been used typically to provide a hard, wear-resistant surface on metal parts, particularly those used under corrosive or elevated-temperature oxidizing conditions, but usage is not limited to such applications. This coating is not recommended for surfaces with deep vee-shaped grooves, blind cavities, narrow holes, or sharp corners, or where deformation of the basis metal may be expected.
