1.1 This specification covers the requirements for cleaning, coating, or surface modification, or combinations thereof, of conductive materials, primarily metals.

1.2 This specification covers any conductive material treated or processed by the electrolytic plasma process (EPP) including: products designated as long products, including wire and fine wire; flat-rolled materials; fasteners; connectors; bolts; assemblies; structural materials; hardware items; and medical items.
