QQ-P-35, type 11 vs QQ-P-35C, type 11
(OP)
Does anyone know the difference between passivate per QQ-P-35, type 11 verses passivate per QQ-P-35C, type 11? Some of the parts came in looking kind of a gray-black and others the standard silver. I have done some research and found that the specs have been updated and cancelled and updated and cancelled again but I guess I'm just needing to know if the parts are still usable. Thanks for the help.

QQ-P-35A [1968] Lists Type I, II and III...
Type I Low Temperature.
Type II Medium Temperature.
Type III High Temperature
NOTE. Subsequent revisions added more roman numerals for specific passivation treatments for various SSTL [CRES] and HRA materials.
Perhaps what appears to be Type 11 is actually Type II???
I actually prefer to specify AMS2700 Method 2 - Passivation in Citric Acid ... which is applicable to virtually all SSTL/HRA metals...and is "eco-green" for storage/waste disposal.

If your PO specified passivation per QQ-P-35 type II, use of this obsolete process is acceptable for your application, you have a vendor qualified to perform this process, and the vendor supplies a CoC and/or certs stating they performed the work in accordance with the standard, then you can probably go ahead and use the parts.
