The
10、 general organization of this series is described in EN 4258. 1 Scope 1 .I cladding for rolled aluminium alloy products. This standard specifies the procedures for measuring cladding thickness and copper diffusion in 1.2 user of this standard to adopt appropriate health and safety precautions. This
11、standard does not consider health and safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference provisions from other publications.

13、Aerospace series - Metallic materials - General organization of standardization - Links between types of EN standards and their use 1) 3 Metallography 3.1 Sample preparation A sample, at least 20 mm long in the long transverse direction, shall be taken from the full thickness of the sheet, strip or
14、plate as shown in figure 1. This should be mounted and mechanically polished for metallographic examination of the cross section using a technique which ensures satisfactory retention of the sharp sample edge. This is necessary for the accurate measurement of the cladding thickness and copper diffus
15、ion. The use of electro-polishing is not recommended as dissolution of the cladding is possible leading to a loss of edge definition and reduced accuracy.

An additional im
17、mersion etch is then required to reveal the extent of the copper diffusion (see 5). It is important not to remove any etching products from the sample surface at any stage during the entire etching process. The etchant shall be freshly prepared, used in the temperature range of 15 OC to 30 OC and of
18、 the following composition : Reagents Quantity ml I hydrochloric acid (p = 1 ,I 9 g/ml) I 1,s I I nitric acid (p = 1,38 g/ml to 1/40 g/ml) I 23 1 I hydrofluoric acid (40 % concentrated) -1- 0,5 to 1,O-l I distilled (or deionised) water I to loo-( After etching the sample should be rinsed in cold run
19、ning water followed by hot air drying. Care should be taken not to rub the sample surface. 4 Measurement of cladding thickness The polished micro-sample shall be initially etched for 10 s and examined at a suitable magnification between 100 x and 500 x. Cladding thicknesses shall be measured in at l
20、east five locations, a minimum of 3 mm apart, on each side of the product. The mean cladding thickness c, for each side, is the arithmetic mean of the values measured. The results shall be presented as a percentage of the actual thickness of the product. 5 Measurement of copper diffusion in the clad
21、ding 5.1 The micro-sample used for measuring the clad thickness in 3 shall then be immersed (without re-polishing) for a further 20 s in the etchant to reveal the extent of the copper diffusion. The cross section shall be examined at a suitable magnification between 100 x and 500 x. The diffusion fr
22、ont is identified by a change of colour in the cladding from dark to light. It generally consists of a succession of peaks (enhanced diffusion along the grain boundaries) and valleys. Conventionally, the mean position of the diffusion front, for the field under examination, shall be taken as the val
23、ley bottom closest to the surface of the product. Its distance from the core-cladding interface, b (see figures 2 and 3), shall be measured on that side of the sample with the minimum cladding thickness, at five locations, at least 3 mm apart from each other. The largest b value measured shall be re
24、tained to represent copper diffusion. The result shall be expressed as a percentage of the mean cladding thickness c, as determined under 3, .e. : x 100 b max. copper diffusion = - c NOTE : In cases where the core/cladding interface is not clearly defined it is permissible to measure the minimum d v
25、alue in lieu of the maximum b value (see figures 2 and 3). In this instance copper diffusion is expressed as follows : -min. copper diffusion = c Copyright Association Europeene des Constructeurs de Materiel Aerospatial Provided by IHS under license with AECMANot for ResaleNo reproduction or network
