The tests shall only be carried out when agreed between supplier and purchaser and stated on the order. EN 546-4:2006 (E) 5 Table 1 Applicability of

27、t the dark foil surface. The light box, consists of translucent glass, lit from below by a luminous source giving an even illumination of 1 000 lux to 1 500 lux. The size of the light box is determined by the dimension of the largest foil sample to be examined. 5.2 Test method Dim the light in the r

28、oom in which the test is carried out to 20 lux to 50 lux. Place the foil test sample on the light box with its matt surface facing the observer. Mask the area of the light box not covered by the test sample. Observe the test sample from a distance of approximately 0,5 m. The test area shall be selec

29、ted by one of the following methods: a) worst area selection: a sample of 1 dm2is selected from the area exhibiting the highest porosity (worst field); b) random selection: a sample of 1 m2is selected at random. Count the number of pinholes or roll holes in the sample. Ignore pinholes less than 0,02

30、0 mm in diameter. EN 546-4:2006 (E) 6 For the worst area selection sample, count the number of voids in 1 dm2.For the random selection sample, count the number of voids in 1 m2. Report separately the number of pinholes and roll holes per unit area. 5.3 Acceptance values The maximum acceptable number

31、 of pinholes and roll holes shall be agreed between supplier and purchaser. 5.4 Sampling and frequency of testing One full width test sample at correct nominal gauge measuring approximately 1 m in length along the rolling direction shall be taken and tested from every three rolled coils. 6 Wettabili

32、ty 6.1 Test principle The test shall apply to aluminium foil in the gauge range 6 m to 200 m. The surface of the fully annealed foil is assessed according to its ability to be wetted by liquids applied under clearly defined conditions. 6.2 General test conditions 6.2.1 General Carry out the tests at

33、 ambient temperature. Remove the outside wraps to reduce the coil build-up by a minimum of 3 mm in order to obtain a representative sample before performing the test. Usually the test is carried out on the matt side of the foil. Precautions shall be taken to prevent the liquids from accidentally com

34、ing into contact with edge of reel. Do not repeat tests on the same area of sample. 6.2.2 Equipment used Four techniques are recommended: 1) the droplet bottle, to be used for depositing drops of liquid on the surface to be tested (see 6.3.1); 2) a spray bottle, to apply a fine spray mist across the

35、 width of the metal surface to be tested (see 6.3.2); 3) a spray bottle, to enable a continuous stream of liquid to be applied to the surface (see 6.3.3); 4) cotton wool soaked in the appropriate liquid to be used for smearing the surface under test (see 6.3.4). The cotton wool shall be clean. This

36、test should be used as a referee method. Other tests can be used after agreement between supplier and customer. EN 546-4:2006 (E) 7 6.2.3 Liquid used The following liquids shall be used for all tests: distilled water; or distilled water mixed with industrial ethyl-alcohol to a concentration of 10 %

37、or 20 % by volume. 6.3 Test procedures 6.3.1 Test by droplet 6.3.1.1 Test method Use a droplet bottle to drop 40 mg to 80 mg drops of liquid onto the horizontal metal surface at a rate of one drop every 5 cm to 10 cm across the width of the web. Tilt the surface between 40and 60(see Figure 1). Deter

38、mine the wettability index from the tail left by the movement of the droplets across the surface. Figure 1 Test by droplet EN 546-4:2006 (E) 8 6.3.1.2 Test results If the test is performed with distilled water, the wettability index is shown by the shape of the trace given on the surface taken from

39、the worst area of the foil. The wettability indices are defined from A to G in Figure 2. Wettability indices included between A to C are acceptable. distilled water A B C D E distilled water mixed with industrial ethyl-alcohol to a concentration of + 10 % volume B C D E F distilled water mixed with

41、e vertical. Use a spray bottle to apply a fine spray mist across the width of the metal surface. 6.3.2.2 Test results The whole surface under the liquid spray shall remain uniformly wetted by the applied liquid: distilled water : wettability A; distilled water mixed with industrial ethyl alcohol to

42、a concentration of 10 % by volume : wettability B; distilled water mixed with industrial ethyl alcohol to a concentration of 20 % by volume : wettability C. 6.3.2.3 Acceptance criteria Minimum values shall be agreed between supplier and purchaser. 6.3.3 Test by liquid stream 6.3.3.1 Test method Posi

43、tion the metal surface at an angle of between 40 and 60. Using a spray bottle, apply a continuous stream of test liquid across the width (see Figure 3). EN 546-4:2006 (E) 9 Figure 3 Test by liquid stream 6.3.3.2 Test results The whole surface under the stream of liquid and its subsequent spread down

44、wards shall remain uniformly wetted: distilled water : wettability A; distilled water mixed with industrial ethyl alcohol to a concentration of 10 % by volume : wettability B; distilled water mixed with industrial ethyl alcohol to a concentration of 20 % by volume : wettability C. 6.3.3.3 Acceptance

45、 criteria Minimum values shall be agreed between supplier and purchaser. 6.3.4 Test by use of Cotton Wool Pad 6.3.4.1 Test method A clean and dry piece of cotton wool is carefully dipped in the required liquid. It is brought into contact with the metal surface on one edge and moved towards the other

46、 edge. The surface is usually horizontal (see Figure 4). 6.3.4.2 Test results The whole surface moistened by the cotton wool shall remain uniformly wetted: distilled water : wettability A; distilled water mixed with industrial ethyl alcohol to a concentration of 10 % by volume : wettability B; disti

The ease of unwind is eva

49、luated by assessing the stickiness between laps. 7.2 Test method Carry out the test at room temperature. Remove a minimum of 3 mm from the build up on the coil to obtain a representative sample. Place the reel onto a horizontal axis, enabling it to be easily moved by hand. Wind the foil back on itself with the web falling freely under gravity (see Figure 5).
