Significance and Use3.1 This test method provides a standard method of deter-mining the weight ma
8、ss of coating for comparison withspecification requirements. A coating of aluminum on iron orsteel articles provides protection against corrosion by forminga relatively inert barrier. Specifications for aluminum-coatedarticles occasionally provide for different classes (weights)masses of coating so
9、that the purchaser can select the coatingweight mass most suited to his needs. The heavier coatingwill provide greater protection against mechanical damagewhich may break the coating.4. Reagents4.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is
10、 intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use
11、 without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.4.2 Purity of WaterWater used in preparation of reagentsolutions shall conform to Specification D1193, Type IV orbetter.4.3 Antimony Trichloride SolutionDissolve 200 g of an-timony trichloride (SbCl3) in 1000 mL of concentrated hydro-chloric acid (

18、evolved during the stripping process using the hydrochloricacid-antimony trichloride-stannous chloride method. Hydrochloric acidfumes are present, and hydrogen gas is evolved in the stripping process.Therefore, the test should be performed under conditions of adequateventilation.Afume hood is recomm
19、ended for large numbers of samples orwhere the test is to be carried out frequently over extended periods oftime.5. Sampling5.1 Aluminum-Coated SheetsSamples for weight-of-coating mass-of-coating determination shall be secured asdesignated in the appropriate specification. Test specimensshall have a
20、 minimum area of 3 in.22000 mm2 of sheet, butpreferably approximately 5 in.23300 mm2 of sheet.NOTE 2For convenience in calculating test results in inch-poundunits, the specimen should have an area of 5.08 in.2of sheet (2.25 6 0.01in. square or 2.54 6 0.01 in. in diameter). The weight mass of coating
21、in grams on a specimen of that area is numerically equal to the weightmass of coating in ounces per square foot of sheet. For results to bereported in SI units, the specimen should have an area of 3330 mm2ofsheet (57.7 6 0.1 mm square or 65.1 6 0.1 mm in diameter).5.2 Aluminum-Coated WireSamples sha
22、ll be secured asdesignated in the appropriate specification. The specimen ofaluminum-coated wire may be of any length over 12 in.(approximately 300 mm), but preferably about 24 in. (approxi-mately 600 mm). Where a continuous length is not available,shorter lengths totaling over 12 in., but preferabl
23、y about 24 in.,shall be used. Since the density of the steel is known (0.283lb/in.3or 7830 kg/m3), it is not necessary to use a specificlength of specimen.5.3 Aluminum-Coated Articles Other Than Sheet or WireSamples for weight mass of coating determination shall besecured as designated in the approp
24、riate specification. Exceptas otherwise provided, the specimens should have a minimumarea of 3 in.21935 mm2 of aluminum-coated surface. For verysmall items, several pieces may have to be stripped to obtainthe minimum area.5.3.1 In the case of threaded articles, such as bolts andscrews, the determina
25、tion shall be made on a portion of thearticle that does not include any thread.6. Procedure6.1 Strip the aluminum coating from the specimens by usingone of the following methods the sodium hydroxide-hydrochloric acid method (method A), the hydrochloric acid-antimony trichloride-stannous chloride met
26、hod (method B) ordilute hydrochloric acid method (method C).NOTE 3Methods A and B are the most common methods used forsheets.6.2 Clean the specimens immediately before determiningthe weight mass by washing in petroleum ether or othersuitable solvent, and dry thoroughly.6.3 Determine the weight mass
27、of the specimens individu-ally to the nearest 0.01 g.6.4 Sodium Hydroxide-Hydrochloric Acid Method (methodA)Heat the NaOH solution to approximately 195F 90C(Note 4) and immerse each specimen in the hot solution untilthe strong reaction ceases. With silicon-free coatings, evolutionof gas for consider
28、able time is likely, but do not leave thespecimens in the solution for more than a few minutes. Longerimmersion inhibits the removal of coating during subsequentdips. Immersion of several specimens simultaneously is per-mitted provided all surfaces are freely exposed to the solution.Remove specimens
29、 from solution and scrub all surfaces underrunning tap water with a clean cellulose sponge to remove theloose deposit formed in the NaOH solution. Use vigorousscrubbing as necessary for some types of coating, but do notuse abrasive materials to remove the deposit. Blot with a towelto remove most of
30、the water (Note 5) and immerse eachspecimen singly for not more than3sinHCl(spgr1.18 to1.19) at room temperature. Remove, scrub again under runningtap water with a sponge, and re-immerse in the hot NaOHsolution for not more than a few minutes or until action againceases. Repeat this cycle until imme
31、rsion in HCl shows novisible reaction (Note 6). Use one to three or more cycles asrequired, depending on the type and weight of coating. Afterthe final immersion in the NaOH and HCl solutions, scrub asbefore, dry thoroughly, and determine the weight mass ofeach specimen to the nearest 0.01 g.NOTE 4T
32、his temperature is not critical, but the solution should beheld several degrees below the boiling point (approximately 105C) toprevent excessive foaming during the first immersion. The beaker used forheating the solution and immersing the specimens should be less than halffull of solution to avoid t
33、he danger of foaming over when the specimensare immersed.NOTE 5Most of the water should be removed to prevent dilution ofthe HCl, as dilute HCl will attack the base metal to a greater extent thanconcentrated HCl.NOTE 6It is sometimes difficult to determine the point at which all ofthe alloy layer ha
34、s been removed, when stripping silicon-free coatings. Ifin doubt, determine the weight mass of the specimen (after scrubbingand drying) and then put it through one additional stripping cycle. Loss inweight mass due to the additional cycle will be of the order of 0.005 gon a 2.25-in. 57.2-mm square s
35、heet specimen, if all the coating had beenremoved before the extra cycle.6.5 Hydrochloric Acid-Antimony Trichloride-StannousChloride Method (method B)After determining the weightmass, immerse each specimen singly in a solution made bymixing 100 mL of antimony trichloride solution and 100 mL ofstanno
36、us chloride solution (Note 7). Allow the specimen toremain immersed until the evolution of hydrogen has ceased.Action will stop after 1 to 4 min, or somewhat longer,depending on the thickness and silicon content of the coating.Use fresh solution for each test (Note 8). The temperature ofthe strippin
37、g solution shall not exceed 100F 38C. Afterstripping, wash the specimen and scrub it with a soft cloth,using a small amount of abrasive cleansing powder if neces-sary. Rinse the specimens and dry thoroughly with an absor-bent cloth or paper, and determine the weight mass of eachspecimen to the neare
38、st 0.01 g.NOTE 7Mix the antimony trichloride and stannous chloride solutionstogether as needed.NOTE 8Very heavy coatings may show residual coating after allaction has stopped. If on examination after stripping, any coating stillA428/A428M 102remains, repeat the immersion step using fresh solution.6.
39、6 Dilute Hydrochloric Acid Method (1 + 1) (methodC)After determining the weight (mass), immerse each speci-men singly in the stripping solution and allow to remain untilthe violent evolution of hydrogen has ceased and only a fewbubbles are being evolved. Action will stop after 1 to 4 min orsomewhat
40、longer depending on the thickness and siliconcontent of the coating. Use of the same solution is permitteduntil the time for stripping becomes inconveniently long. Thetemperature of the stripping solution shall at no time exceed100F 38C. After stripping, wash the specimens by scrub-bing them under r
41、unning water, dip in hot water and wipe orblow dry. Determine the weight mass of each specimen to thenearest 0.01 g.6.7 Sheet SpecimensWhen measuring the total coatingweight mass on both sides, or the single side coating weightmass on each side, determine the area of sheet (one surface)to the neares
42、t 0.01 in.25 mm2. If specimens were prepared tothe dimensions as provided in Note 2, they shall be presumedto have an area of 5.08 in.23330 mm2. When it is not possibleto determine the area accurately, as in specimens from corru-gated sheets, determine the average thickness of the strippedsheets to
43、the nearest 0.001 in. 0.01 mm.6.7.1 When determining the single side coating weightmass of sheet material, use the procedures described in 6.4,6.5,or6.6, except use a “stop-off” to protect the second sidefrom the stripping medium. Acid-resistant paints or lacquers,acid-resistant tape, or mechanical
44、devices fastened to the testspecimen are examples of commonly used “stop-off” materials.Apply the “stop-off” to the specimen after the first determina-tion of weight mass and remove before the second determi-nation of weight mass. Because of the possibility of moistureabsorption during the stripping
45、 process, the “stop-off” must notbe on the specimen during either weight mass determinations.Determine the coating weight mass on the second sidesubsequently without a “stop-off” on the first side.6.8 Wire SpecimensDetermine the diameter of thestripped wire to the nearest 0.001 in. 0.01 mm by taking
46、 theaverage of two measurements at right angles to each other.6.9 Specimens Other Than Sheet or WireDetermine thetotal coated area of the original specimen to the nearest 0.01in.25 mm2. Alternatively, for specimens of uniform thicknessof base metal, such as a piece of plate or pipe, determine theave
47、rage thickness of the stripped specimen to the nearest 0.001in. 0.01 mm.7. Calculation7.1 Aluminum-Coated Sheet:7.1.1 Results in Inch-Pound Units:7.1.1.1 When the area of one surface of the sheet isdetermined, calculate the weight mass of aluminum coatingas follows:C 5 W12 W2!/A 3 K (1)where:C = wei

49、ovided inNote 2, having an area of 5.08 in.2, the loss of weight mass in grams isnumerically equal to the weight mass of coating in ounces per squarefoot of sheet.7.1.1.2 When it is not possible to secure a specimen ofmeasurable area, calculate the weight mass of coating asfollows:C 5 W12 W2!/W2# 3 T 3 K (2)where:C = weight mass of coating, oz/ft2of sheet,W1= original weight mass of specimen, g,W2= weight mass of stripped specimen, g,T = thicknes
