17、set-up for determining the transition resistance of a single sheet or two overlapping sheets of aluminium or steel, with or without surface treatment, and with or without surface coating. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 contac

22、resistance of bottom electrode, R7Figure 1 Resistance (schematic illustration) 4 Measurement 4.1 Measuring set-up Figure 2 a) shows schematically the experimental set-up for the determination of the transition resistance with one metal sheet between the electrodes. The total resistance is measured b

23、y means of the voltage/potential drop between the two sensing clamps. Either one or two specimens are placed between the electrodes, the electrode force is applied and a rectified current from an external source is allowed to flow through the test pieces via the electrodes. The voltage drop between

24、the sensing clamps is measured and the total resistance calculated using Ohms law: URI= (1) 5 EN ISO 18594:2007 (E) where R is the total resistance, in ohms; U is the voltage, in volts; I is the current, in amperes. The resistance of the experimental set-up, or set-up resistance, is obtained by meas

25、uring the voltage drop between the sensing clamps without any test pieces between the electrodes see Figure 2 b). The set-up resistance comprises the bulk resistance of the electrodes between the sensing clamps and the contact resistance between the electrodes. In the case of single metal sheet meas

26、urements, the total resistance consists of the bulk resistances of the top and bottom electrodes between the sensing clamps (R1, R7), the contact resistances (R2, R6) and the bulk resistance of the sheet (R3) see Figure 2 c). The total resistance, in the case of two-sheet measurements, consists of t

27、he bulk resistances of the top and bottom electrodes between the sensing clamps (R1, R7), the contact resistances (R2, R4, R6) and bulk resistances of the two-sheets (R3, R5) see Figure 2 d). 6 EN ISO 18594:2007 (E) Key 1 electrode 4 d.c. current source 2 sheet FEelectrode force 3 voltmeter I curren

30、each material to be investigated. Surface conditions which do not correspond to production conditions in the measurement area (e.g. dirt, scratches, fingerprints) are not permitted. Normal surface conditions (e.g. oiled, phosphated, conversion coated) shall be documented in the test report. In the c

31、ase of two-sheet measurements, the specimens shall be flat. Burrs are not admissible at the sheet-to-sheet interface. Before starting the test, both the measuring set-up and the sheet material shall be at ambient conditions. In the case of two-sheet measurements, it is recommended that the upper and

32、 lower surfaces of each metal sheet are marked with “A” and “B” respectively. It is further recommended that test runs with the following combinations are carried out: A-B/B-A, B-A/A-B, and A-B/A-B. During a single test series, the surface position of the test pieces shall not be changed. 4.2.2 Dete

33、rmination of the set-up resistance The experimental set-up is used as shown in Figure 2. The set-up resistance shall be measured, as described under 4.1, after the electrodes are brought together. The electrode speed shall not exceed 15 mm/s at contact, and the dynamic electrode force shall not exce

34、ed the set force. The set-up resistance shall be measured before and after each test series. For this purpose, the electrodes shall be prepared using emery paper with a grain size of 1 200, first the top electrode and then the bottom one. Any dust shall be removed using a clean, dry tissue or micro-

35、fibre cloth. The electrodes are then brought together and the set-up resistance measured as described above. Since the set-up resistance can change during a test series due to pick-up on the working faces, the set-up resistance values shall be determined both before and after each test series. The s

36、et-up resistance for the test series is the mean value of the two measurements. 4.2.3 Measuring the total resistance A minimum of seven measurements shall be carried out at different locations on each test piece (see 4.2.1). In order to make the seven measurements on each test series, the specimen s

37、hall be positioned between the electrodes and the electrode force applied. After the nominal value of the electrode force is reached, the d.c. power source is switched on and the voltage drop measured after an elapsed time of (15 1) s. The location of the measuring points shall be selected such that

38、 the distance centre-to-centre and centre-to-specimen edge is greater than, or equal to, 15 mm (see Figure 3). 8 EN ISO 18594:2007 (E) Dimensions in millimetres Figure 3 Example for the location of the measuring points The test pieces shall be positioned perpendicular to the axis of the electrodes.

39、No relative movement between the electrode working faces and the specimen surface, e.g. vibration, rotation or sliding, is permitted. The total resistance of the test series is the mean value of a minimum of seven measurements. Since the contact resistance on a sheet or a component can vary from loc

40、ation to location, it is recommended that for representative results at least five test pieces are taken from different locations. 4.2.4 Determining the transition resistance The transition resistance of a test series is the difference between the total resistance and the set-up resistance of the te

41、st series. The mean value, the standard deviation and the coefficient of variation shall be calculated in accordance with Clause 6 see Equations (6), (7) and (8), using the results of at least five test pieces. 5 Test equipment The mechanical system shall have a high stiffness in order to minimise a

42、 sliding of the electrode working faces. The eccentricity of the electrode axes shall not exceed 0,1 mm. The distance between the introduction of the current and the sensing clamps shall be greater than 15 mm. If electrode caps are used, the sensing clamps shall be applied to the electrodes. Instead

43、 of the separate d.c. power source and the digital voltmeter, a precision resistance meter may also be used. For details of the test equipment and set-up conditions to be used see Table 1. 9 EN ISO 18594:2007 (E) Table 1 Test equipment and set-up conditions Measuring and testing equipment Aluminium
