Military Specification MIL-A-8625

MIL-A-8625 is a military standard that specifies the requirements for anodic coatings on aluminum and aluminum alloys used in aerospace and defense applications. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that enhances corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and surface appearance. This standard outlines the procedures, quality criteria, and testing methods to ensure consistent, high-quality anodic finishes suitable for demanding military environments. It provides guidance for manufacturers to produce coatings that meet strict performance and durability standards, ensuring the reliability and longevity of aluminum components used in military equipment and aircraft.
