本规范涵盖了镍选择性（电刷）电沉积的工程要求以及镀层的性能。该工艺通常用于提供中等腐蚀性和抗氧化性，以及可在高达700华氏度（371摄氏度）的环境中运行的零件的尺寸累积和修复，其中需要在沉积物中施加低拉伸应力，以避免疲劳强度显著降低，但使用不限于此类应用。

This specification covers the engineering requirements for selective (brush) electrodeposition of nickel and the properties of the deposit. This process has been used typically to provide moderate corrosion and oxidation resistance and dimensional build-up and restoration of parts which may operate in service up to 700 degrees F (371 degrees C), where low tensile stress in the deposit is required to avoid marked reduction of fatigue strength, but usage is not limited to such applications.
