10、e. Any changes or altercations to the below method must be documented in the report. 4.1 Test Method A: Taber Multi-finger Scratch Test 4.1.1 Test Apparatus: Taber Multi-Finger Scratch/Mar Tester Model 710 or similar 4.1.2 Test Procedure: All tests shall be carried out at ambient conditions (exact t

11、emperature and humidity should be recorded in the lab report). 1.0 mm diameter polished stainless steel balls shall be used as scratch tips. All tips should be evaluated prior to testing under a microscope to insure the surfaces are intact and free of defects or evidence of deterioration. If a tip i

12、s defective, it should be replaced with a new tip prior to testing. Each tip should be pre-loaded with the following weights: Scratch finger number: 1 7.0 N 2 6.0 N 3 4.5 N 4 3.0 N 5 2.0 N Sample plaques should be molded in color a minimum of 300 mm in length. Separate plaques should be molded if in

13、terior trim parts are to have different colors or textures/ grains. The plaques should be securely loaded in the instrument with the grain side up. Measure the loading forces on each pin using a spring balance; adjust the weights to insure the correct forces are applied on the surface of the sample.

14、 Push the fingers, one at a time, across the sample plaque at an approximate rate of 100 mm per second. Each scratch line should be approximately 200 mm in length, or two seconds per scratch. Indicate the direction of the movement on the sample. Repeat the scratch test on a minimum of three test sam

15、ples. 4.1.3 Sample Evaluation: Perform both a visual and microscopic analysis of the scratches. Visually evaluate the sample by holding the sample under natural lighting. Tilt the sample back and forth in hands until the scratches appear the widest and most visible. Qualitatively rate the middle sec

16、tions of the scratches on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 is no scratch at all; 5 is a severe scratch). Additionally take a digital picture of the scratched sample plaque and submit to Navistar Engineering. Microscopic evaluation should also be performed following the visual evaluation. The sample should be he

17、ld at a 90 angle to the microscope objective. Using a suitable magnification, measure the width of the scratch lines. Average the measured widths for the three repeats and report the average width to Navistar Engineering along with the visual results. 4.2 Test Method B: Erichsen Scratch and Mar Test

18、 4.2.1 Test Apparatus: Erichsen Hardness Tester Model 430P or similar 4.2.2 Test Procedure: All tests shall be carried out at ambient conditions (exact temperature and humidity should be recorded in the lab report). A 1.0 mm diameter (0.5 mm radius) polished stainless steel ball shall be used as a s

19、cratch tip. All tips should be evaluated prior to testing under a microscope to insure the surfaces are intact and free of defects or evidence of deterioration. If a tip is defective, it should be replaced with a new tip prior to testing. Tips should be pre-loaded with the following weights: NUMBER:

21、EBRUARY 2014 Page 3 of 3 Defined Loads: 1 5.0 N 2 10.0 N 3 15.0 N 4 other as specified by drawing Sample plaques should be molded in color with a minimum geometry of 40 mm x 40 mm. Separate plaques should be molded if interior trim parts are to have different colors or textures/grains. The plaques s

22、hould be securely loaded in the instrument with the grain side up. Load the tool with the first required rate and pull it over the sample at 1000 mm/min. Make 20 parallel cuts in the material 2 mm apart. Next turn the sample 90 and make 20 additional cuts perpendicular to the initial cuts, also 2 mm

23、 apart. The test should be repeated three times for each load creating separate scratch screens. 4.2.3 Sample Evaluation: Each scratch screen should be evaluated in five locations: one in the center and four in the corners. A spectrophotometer that meets ISO 7724 should be used for analysis. Measure

24、 the luminance of each screen immediately following the scratch test. All spectrophotometer measurements shall be taken with the specular component excluded (SPE) with D65 diffused light and a 27 mm diameter restrictor at a measurement angle of d/8. The plaques should be tested for medium brilliancy

25、. The measurements taken at each of the five locations per screen should be averaged and reported to Navistar Design and Materials Engineering. 5.0 TECHNICAL INFORMATION For further information related to the technical content of this specification, contact: Suppliers may purchase controlled copies of this specification by contacting: Materials Engineering and Technology Dept. 10400 W.
