1、Designation: F 204 76 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forSurface Flaws in Tungsten Seal Rod and Wire1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 204; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last

2、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 test method covers the determination of the pres-ence of surface flaws in tungsten-seal rod and wire of randomor cut l

3、engths, and in the tungsten section of multiple-piece-through leads used in electronic devices, by means of exami-nation of a glass bead sealed to the tungsten.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standar

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2

8、use for illumination of the bead under the microscope.4. Preparation of Test Specimen4.1 The test specimen shall be a beaded tungsten rodprepared in the following manner:4.1.1 Clean the surface to be beaded in the usual manneremployed by the user of the tungsten.4.1.2 Alternative Methods of Specimen

9、 PreparationIncase of disagreement between the manufacturer and the pur-chaser, substitute one of the following alternative methods ofpreparing the tungsten rod for that in 4.1.1.4.1.2.1 Boil the tungsten for 2 min in a 5 % solution of 27 %hydrogen peroxide. Pour off the hydrogen peroxide and rinset

10、he tungsten twice in distilled water. Dry rapidly with purealcohol or in an oven heated to 100C.4.1.2.2 Place the tungsten in a solution (20 weight %) ofsodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and pass sufficientelectrical current through it to induce electrolytic actionsufficient to clean the speci

11、men.4.2 Bead the cleaned tungsten rod over the area to beexamined with glass, of the type and wall thickness commonlyused for beading, to a length of not less than 5 mm bead length.4.3 To permit examination of the glass-tungsten interface,the bead shall be substantially free from bubbles, from cause

12、sother than the tungsten defects, and shall have been so preparedthat the surface of the tungsten is clearly visible through thebead.4.4 The color of the glass-to-tungsten seal shall be such asto indicate the proper application of heat to the bead to obtaina satisfactory seal.NOTE 1The usual preferr

13、ed seal color shall be a golden-yellow hue.5. Procedure5.1 Hold the beaded tungsten in focus under the microscopein such a manner that the beaded length may be observed.5.2 Rotate the specimen through 360 on its axis so that theentire surface of the tungsten-glass interface may be examined.5.3 Obser
