ASTM B633 Type VI colored passivate

July 14, 2011

Hello,

I have a drawing here which calls up
ASTM B633, SC4, TY VI
and have a question to TY VI, colored passivate.

- What colors are possible?
- Which colors are the standard colors?
- Do I need to specify the color on the drawing?
- If I don't specify the color on the drawing, what would be the standard color a finishing house applies?
- Are there technical differences between the colors?

Thank you very much for your help.
I tried to find an answer to my questions online, but wasn't too successful.
