ASTM B733 or MIL-C-26074
(OP)
I have a steel part I want to plate made from 12L14 carbon steel. Medium wear and mild service.
Suppliers have varying standards listed on their websites, are there any reasons to use one of these standards over another?
I think I need Grade B Class 1, if I go 26074 or Class 1 Type 4 SC2 under B733

RE: ASTM B733 or MIL-C-26074
Unless you have contractual requirements dictating a particular process, I would recommend using the AMS spec if this is an aerospace application, and the ASTM spec if this is a commercial application. The only other consideration is which process your plating vendor is qualified for.
Hope that helps.
