Scope1.1 This test method covers determination of the mass perunit area of coating on anodically coated aluminum and itsalloys.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use

5、ethod is a destructive test procedure suitablefor quality control within manufacturing operations for coatingmass on anodically coated aluminum and aluminum alloys.The mass of the coating is an approximation of its thicknessprovided the conditions under which the coating was applied,or the density o

6、f the coating, are known. An anodic coatingsprotective value and amenability to coloring by dying orelectrolytic methods are related to mass of coating per unitarea.4. Reagents4.1 The test solution shall have the following makeup:Chromic acid anhydride (CrO3)206 0.5 gOrthophosphoric acid of 85 mass

7、%, density1.69 35 6 0.5 mLDistilled or deionized water conforming withType III Reagent Water of SpecificationD 1193, to make up to 1000 mLNOTE 1This solution is commonly referred to as a nondestructive“stripping solution” for anodic coatings. This solution dissolves the anodiccoating with no signifi

8、cant attack of the substrate metal.5. Test Specimen5.1 Prepare a test specimen of known surface area, prefer-ably a piece about 75 mm square. If the anodic coating iscontaminated or impregnated with oil, grease, lacquer, etc.,remove as much as possible of this material before determiningthe mass of

9、the coating. It is not usually practicable to removethese materials from the pores of the coating, but surface filmscan frequently be removed by wiping the sample with a clothwet with a suitable solvent.5.2 In cases where it is required to measure the mass ofcoating on only one side of a specimen wh

10、ere both sides haveanodic coatings, the following procedure may be used:5.2.1 Prepare a specimen somewhat larger than required for5.1.5.2.2 Apply a suitable stop off around the edges of thespecimen so that the area on the side of the specimen that is notto be tested is about 75 mm square. Paraffin w

11、ax has been usedfor this purpose, but any stop off that resists warm sodiumhydroxide is suitable.5.2.3 Swab the area with a warm solution of sodiumhydroxide (10 mass %, 100 g/L) until bare metal is exposed,which is indicated by uniform bubbling over the entire exposedsurface.5.2.4 Swab with warm dis

12、tilled water.5.2.5 Dry with a clean cloth.5.2.6 Swab with diluted nitric acid (1 part HNO3, density1.41, plus 1 part water).5.2.7 Rinse with warm deionized or distilled water.5.2.8 Dry at approximately 100C until dry.5.2.9 Cool and shear off the area covered with stop off, sothat the coated area is

13、the desired size, preferably at least 75mm square.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B08 on Metallicand Inorganic Coatings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B08.07 onChromate Conversion Coatings.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2004.

Do not include the areaof cut edges or other uncoated surfaces.6.2 Weigh the test specimen before and after stripping thecoating from it to the nearest 1 mg.6.3 Immerse the test specimen for

17、 5 min in the phosphoric-chromic acid solution maintained at a temperature of about100C. Remove the specimen, wash in distilled or deionizedwater, dry, and weigh.

18、t.7. Report7.1 Report the mass of coating in milligrams per squaredecimetre.8. Precision and Bias8.1 PrecisionThe precision for this test method is mostaffected by the precision of the measurement of the test area.When performed by properly instructed personnel, the methodis capable of yielding resu

19、lts with an uncertainty of less than10 % over a significant range of coating weights.8.2 BiasThe procedure in this test method for measure-ment of the mass of coating on anodically coated aluminum hasno bias because the value of the mass of coating is defined onlyin terms of this test method.ASTM In
