2、 regulations.Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall takeprecedence.1.1 Purpose. This standard specifies the test method to be used to evaluate the adhesion properties ofpainted metal, plastic and sealer before and after environmental test

3、ing. This standard describes thecrosshatch and the “X” cut tape adhesion test using the cutting tools or cutting guide. All paint systems mustmeet the adhesion requirements when the appropriate method is used. Unless otherwise specified, the dry filmthickness will determine which guide or tool is re

4、quired. If either method is not usable due to size and/or shapeconstraints (typically found in small parts) the application of this test will be at the discretion of the responsibleengineer.1.2 Foreword.

6、Equipment.3.2.1 Pressure Sensitive Adhesion Tape. It is extremely important that the tape adhesively bonds to steelaccording to ASTM D3330M with a minimum 180 degree peel strength value of 760 N/m. Weaker adhesiveswill reduce the severity of the test results. The tape backing should exhibit low elon

The adhesion of organic coatings as determined by this test method shall be defined as thetendency of the coating to become detached in the vicinity of scribed line

12、s. Method A will be scribed in theshape of a lattice pattern and Method B will be scribed in an “X” pattern. Both methods require cutting throughthe coating, before and after exposure to defined environmental conditions. Use sharp blades, as dull bladestend to cause chatter and can result in lower r

13、atings.4.2 Conditions. Parts in the as received conditions should be clean and dry before conducting the test. Oil,wax or any residue in the painted surface shall be removed with soap and water or any other cleaner. Dry thesamples by blotting with an absorbent paper or cloth.4.2.1 Environmental Cond

14、itions.4.2.1.1 When specified, the coated test specimens shall be subjected to an environmental test, such as waterimmersion, humidity or salt spray test, etc., before conducting the tape adhesion test. In this case, conduct theenvironmental test as required and dry samples by blotting with an absor

15、bent paper or cloth.4.2.1.2 Select a representative area or an area suspected of having poor film adhesion on the paint surface tobe tested. Do not select sagged, solvent popped or obviously defective areas, as these defects should berated separately.4.2.1.3 The recovery time after exposure to envir

16、onmental cycle tests and before tape adhesion tests shall be1 h unless otherwise specified.4.2.1.4 Multiple tape adhesion tests may be required (minimum of three) depending on approval requirementsand space permitting. Larger parts will require more space. Geometric configuration and processingchara

17、cteristics should be considered.4.2.2 Test Conditions. Deviations from the requirements of this standard shall have been agreed upon. Suchrequirements shall be specified on component drawings, test certificates, reports, etc.4.3 Instructions.4.3.1 Test Procedure, Method A.4.3.1.1 The crosshatch/cutt

18、ing tool should be inspected prior to use and replaced if any damage is observed.The crosshatch/cutting tool should be replaced if any inconsistencies in the scribe installation are observed.4.3.1.2 Make a crosshatch cut with a sharp cutting tool or guide as shown in Figure A1. The number of linesan

19、d spacing between the lines shall depend upon the coating film thickness as shown in Table A1. Make allcuts approximately 20 mm long. Cut through the film in one steady motion using just sufficient pressure on thecutting tool to have the cutting edge reach the substrate. When making successive singl

20、e cuts with the aid of aguide, place the guide on the uncut area and cut through the film to the substrate. Make similar type andnumber of cuts perpendicular and centered on the original cuts.Copyright General Motors Company Provided by IHS under license with General Motors CompanyNot for ResaleNo r

Thescribe/cutting tool should be replaced if any inconsistencies in the scribe installation are observed.4.3.2.2 With a sharp pointed razor knife, cut an “X” consisting of two bisecting lines each approximately 75 mmlong, through the paint film to t

26、he substrate as shown in Figure A3. If the area to be tested on the paintedsample is less than the standard tape test area, then the application of this test will be at the discretion of theresponsible engineer. If utilized, report the percentage area remaining on the surface as shown in Figure A4.W

27、hen cutting, hold knife perpendicular to the surface and avoid any side motion. For relatively soft substrates,such as plastics and sealers, avoid cutting so deeply that the substrate is displaced.4.3.2.3 After making the required cuts, brush the film lightly with a soft bristle brush or tissue to r

28、emove anydetached flakes or ribbons of coating.4.3.2.4 Dispense or cut a strip of tape approximately 125 mm to 150 mm long being careful not to allow theadhesive side to come in contact with anything before the test application.4.3.2.5 Cover the “X” with tape so that the tape is centered over the in

29、tersection and extends for at least38 mm on both sides of the intersection in the direction of approximately the 25 degree angles. The remaining50 mm to 75 mm of tape provides a loose tail on one end to grasp when removing tape.4.3.2.6 Press the tape down firmly on the surface with sufficient rubs o
