Summary of Test Method4.1 Permanent magnet samples are e

Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a controlled corrosive envi-ronment which can be utilized to produce relative corrosionresistance information for sintered permanent magnets.5.2 Although prediction of performance in natural environ-ments has seldom been statis
10、tically correlated with corrosiontest results, sufficient empirical results are available to supportthe usefulness of this test in quantifying relative resistance tocorrosion from moisture and heat.5.3 The reproducibility of results in this test method isdependent on the type, size, and shape of spe
11、cimens tested, andthe control of the operating variables. In any testing program,sufficient replicates should be included to establish confidencelimits. Replicates may be run simultaneously, in subsequenttest runs, or in duplicate test chambers.5.4 When multiple test chambers and operators are utili

Interferences6.1 This test method will not yield meaningful results ifnonhomogeneous specimens such as assemblies or partiallycoated magnets are tested because of th

Apparatus7.1 AutoclaveA heated pressure chamber capable ofmaintaining pressurized steam at controlled temperature. Thetemperature shall be maintained within 62C of the selectedtemperature fo
18、r the duration of the exposure. The atmosphereduring test shall be saturated steam (100% RH). This can beachieved by venting the chamber as it reaches operatingtemperature and pressure and resealing the chamber afterpressure has been reduced to 5 psi 34 kPa through venting.The escaping steam purges

While commercial autoclaves areavailable that have self-contained heaters and timers, a con-ventional pressure cooker with external heater may also beused, as long as temperature and pressure controls capable ofmaintaining suitable control of

Reagents and Materials8.1 Distilled Water.8.2 Masking TapePaper tape with a pressure-sensitiveadhesive with strength of at least 1.57 lb/in. 28 kg/m whentested in accordance with Procedure A of Test Method D3330/D3330M.8.3 BrushBristle brush made with synthetic polymer
24、 ornatural fiber.9. Known Hazards9.1 This test method utilizes equipment operating at el-evated pressure. Suitable means should be employed to ensurethe equipment meets local safety regulations and is in goodoperating condition, particularly regarding the security of thechamber door and ports. Suita
25、ble means (typically a pressurerelief valve) shall be employed to ensure that the pressurewithin the equipment does not exceed its design limit.9.2 This test method utilizes pressurized steam which hasthe ability to cause severe burns. Suitable means should beemployed to ensure that personnel are pr
26、otected from ventedsteam during operation, and in particular when the chamber isopened at the conclusion of the test.9.3 This test method utilizes elevated temperature. Suitablemeans should be employed to prevent burns caused by theequipment, vented steam, and the specimens.10. Sampling, Test Specim
27、ens, and Test Units10.1 A minimum of three replicates should be tested.10.2 Whenever possible the samples should be unmagne-tized. Magnetized samples may be demagnetized electro-magnetically or thermally, provided the thermal process doesnot damage the sample or significantly change its metallurgica
28、lstate. Magnetized samples may be used in the magnetized stateprovided they are secured on the rack so that they do notcontact other samples. Care shall be taken to prevent magneticparticles from being attracted to and sticking to the testsamples, causing erroneous readings. Obtaining accurateweight
29、s of magnetic material is difficult on many balances. Formagnetized samples, equipment and techniques that yieldaccurate weights shall be used, including spacing the magnetaway from the mechanism of the balance.11. Preparation of Apparatus11.1 All equipment and specimen holders shall be inspectedand
30、 cleaned as necessary prior to use to ensure that the testchamber, support racks, and other components are free ofdebris and visible contamination.12. Calibration and Standardization12.1 Verify calibration of balance and autoclave (tempera-ture controller). Verify that autoclave test temperature iso

Sample Preparation13.1 Test specimens shall not come into direct contact withskin at any point during the procedure due to the potential forskin oils to influence the corrosion rate. Handle the specimenswith gloved hands or clean tools.13.2 Coatings (if
32、present) or surface debris shall be removedusing nonmetallic scrubbing pads or virgin nonmetallic abra-sive grit blasting. Metallic scrapers or used abrasive grit shallnot be used.13.3 If the specimens must be cleaned with a liquid prior totest, useACS reagent grade, nonpolar organic solvents only;
33、donot use cleansers or bleaches which may influence the corro-sion rate.13.4 Immediately prior to the beginning of the test, thespecimens shall be brushed (see 8.3) to remove loosely adheredmaterial. Once sufficiently brushed, the specimens shall be“taped” (see 8.2) by repeatedly pressing fresh tape
34、 onto thesurface of the specimen until there is no further evidence oftransfer of material from the specimen to fresh tape.13.5 Specimen identification shall be accomplished by ameans that does not alter the surface of the specimen, such asmapping the specimen location in the specimen holders, or by
35、features on the specimen holders. Marking the surface of thespecimen with ink, labels, or scribed marks is not permitteddue to potential influence on the corrosion rate. Even when theeffects of marking do not influence the test, if corrosion issubstantial, surface marks are likely to be removed by t

Procedure14.1 Determine the surface area of each specimen to thenearest 0.05 cm2or with a minimum resolution
37、of 0.1% of thenominal surface area, whichever is greater.14.2 Weigh the specimens (prepared as detailed in Section13) to the nearest 0.001 g or 0.1% of the sample weight,whichever is greater.14.3 Place the specimen in the autoclave such that there isample exposure to the test atmosphere and so that
38、contact withcondensed water is minimized.14.4 Expose the specimen to a saturated steam environment(100% RH) at the required temperature and time duration.Time duration is the cumulative time when the temperature andrelative humidity are at required values. Once the test begins,the total intentional
39、or unintentional interruptions of the testshall not exceed 1% of the total time duration. Standardconditions are 120 6 2C temperature for 96 h. A temperatureof 120C produces a nominal steam pressure of 29 psia200 kPa. See Appendix X1 for additional temperature-pressure information. Other conditions
40、(see Note 2) may beused if agreed upon by all affected parties.NOTE 2JEDEC JESD22-A102-C lists several time durations that arecommonly used for autoclave testing of electronic components.14.5 At the end of the test, the specimens shall be promptlyremoved from the test chamber, washed or scrubbed in
41、warmtap water, pat dried and allowed to cool to room temperature.Prior to weighing, the specimens shall be brushed to removeloose corrosion products. Once sufficiently brushed, the speci-mens shall be “taped” in the same manner as during samplepreparation.14.6 The specimen shall be weighed to the ne
42、arest 0.001 gor 0.1% of the starting magnet weight, whichever is greater.15. Calculation or Interpretation of Results15.1 Calculate the specific weight loss, SWL, in milligramsper square centimetre of exposed surface, by the formula:SWL 51000Wi Wf!A(1)where:Wi= the initial weight of specimen, in gra
43、ms,Wf= the final weight of specimen, in grams, andA = the total surface area of the specimen, in squarecentimetres.15.2 When specimens were exposed to the standard testconditions (in accordance with 14.4), the BCT grade is definedby the following table based on the specific weight lossrounded as fol

47、he repeatability and reproducibility of the testmethod is significantly influenced by the specific characteris-tics of the test specimens, it is not considered possible to statemeaningful values for repeatability and reproducibility that areuniversally applicable.17.2 Since there is no accepted refe
