1、Designation: D6492 99 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Practice forDetection of Hexavalent Chromium On Zinc and Zinc/Aluminum Alloy Coated Steel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6492; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case

2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice can be used to detect the presence ofhexavalent chromium on galvanized and zin

3、c/aluminum alloycoated steel surfaces. Hexavalent chromium-bearing treat-ments (passivates) can be applied to coated steels to preventstorage stain. While passivated 55 % aluminum-zinc alloycoated steel is commonly painted, passivated galvanized steelis not. Chrome passivation may interfere with the

4、 successfulpretreatment of galvanized steel, as well as contaminatecleaning and pretreatment baths on a coil coating line.1.2 The amount of hexavalent chromium that will cause theindicator to produce a discernible pink color is in the range of0.5 parts per million dissolved in the indicator solution

5、. It ispossible that a coated steel surface that produces a negativeresult does have chromium on the surface. If a material thatyields a negative result is suspected of having chromium on thesurface, instrumental methods should be used. Chrome depos-its of 1 mg/ft2can be easily missed by analytical

6、instrumentssuch as the scanning electron microscope with energy disper-sive x-ray analysis (EDXA) capability. Auger electron spec-troscopy (AES) or electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis(ESCA) can identify chemical species present in the levelsrequired for adequate detection. Stripping the meta

7、llic coatingand analyzing for chrome by atomic absorption or inductivelycoupled plasma can also give reliable results in detecting thepresence of chrome.1.3 This practice is designed to be a qualitative means ofscreening chrome passivated coils from those which are notchrome passivated.1.4 Some chro

8、mium-free passivates are being used com-mercially. Although these products will test negative forhexavalent chromium, they may interfere with cleaning andpretreating. Chromium bearing passivates that contain filmforming constituents such as acrylic resins are also beingcommercially applied. The reac

9、tion of these products to thespot test will vary. Abrading the surface with emery paper willimprove the likelihood of reliable detection. This technique isnot recommended for acrylic resin containing passivationtreatments.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The value

16、2959, United States.5. Preparation of Indicator Solution5.1 Combine 25 mL acetone with 25 mL ethanol in asuitable container. Add 0.5 g 1,5-diphenylcarbohydrazide andallow to dissolve completely. Vigorous agitation may berequired to effect complete dissolution. Slowly add 25 mL85 % phosphoric acid to

17、 25 mL distilled water. Add the dilutedphosphoric acid to the 1,5-diphenylcarbohydrazide solutionand mix well.5.2 The indicator solution has a shelf life of approximately6 h when exposed to light. Shelf life can be extended to severaldays if the solution is kept refrigerated. Discard the solution if

18、it becomes discolored.6. Procedure6.1 Remove oil and dirt from the metal surface to be tested.A thorough solvent wipe is generally sufficient. Apply severaldrops of the indicator to the material to be tested, or use a washbottle to apply a small amount of solution onto outer and innerwraps of a coil

19、. Samples of non-passivated material should betested side-by-side as controls. Any color change perceived inthe indicator on the material being tested should be comparedto the controls.7. Evaluation7.1 A pink color will develop if hexavalent chromium ispresent. The color can appear within 30 s for m

20、aterial with apassivation less than 1 week old. For material up to 1 monthold, the reaction time should be extended to 30 min. If thematerial is older than 1 month, the reaction time should beextended to 1 h. The color that is achieved and the timerequired for the color change to occur depends upon

21、age of themetal being tested, the amount of chromium on the surface, andthe age of the indicator. Heavier hexavalent chrome concen-trations will give a darker pink color.7.2 Even heavy chrome passivation (greater than 3 mg/ft2chrome) can yield a light pink color or no color change at all.The detecti

22、on of hexavalent chrome by this practice requireshexavalent chrome ions to be dissolved by the indicatorsolution. It is common for chrome passivation films to declinein hexavalent chrome content over time. The temperature andhumidity conditions under which the coils are stored willgreatly affect the

23、 residual hexavalent chrome concentration aswell as its solubility.8.
