2、 the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTETest Method was corrected editorially in 2011INTRODUCTIONThe test is designed to give a sufficiently accurate an
3、d rapid test of the amount of nickel depositedon sheet steel for enameling plant control work via a photometric method. However, the approxima-tions used in the method prevent its use where extremely accurate nickel determinations are required.The method is applicable to control the weight of nickel
4、 coating on the metal.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the amountof nickel deposited on sheet steel during its preparation forporcelain enameling. It is a photometric method commonlyused on production parts and is suitable for determining theheavier nickel deposits that may b

Significance and Use3.1 This test method is primarily used to control the nickeldipping operation to ensure that the desired level of nickeldepo
8、sition is attained. It is also used to prepare test plates usedfor calibration in Test Method C810.4. Apparatus4.1 Photoelectric Photometer, conforming to Practice E60.4.2 Weighted Rubber Ring Assembly, required to confinestripping agents to a definite area, consisting of a moldedrubber ring and a m
9、etal outer ring. The rubber ring shall havean inside diameter of 1.35 in. (34.3 mm) in order to encircle anarea of 0.01 ft2(0.000929 m2), a wall configuration as shownin Fig. 1, and the lower portion beveled at a 45 angle (0.78rad) to reduce the contact area and ensure a better seal. Themetal outer
10、ring shall weigh about 3.5 lb (1.5 kg), suitablymachined to fit over the top of the rubber ring as shown in Fig.1.4.2.1 The exact area covered by the rubber ring willgradually increase as the rubber ring itself is consumed by theacid reagent used. In the most accurate analysis, the area etchedby the
11、 rubber ring shall be calculated occasionally, factoredagainst the prescribed area, and that number applied to thereading obtained from the graph.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee B08 on Metallicand Inorganic Coatings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B08.12

Reagents and Materials5.1 Reagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests.Unless otherwise indicated,
15、it is intended that all reagents shallconform to the specifications of the Committee of AnalyticalReagents of the American Chemical Society.4Other gradesmay be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent isof sufficiently high purity to permit its use without lesseningthe accuracy of the

Standardization of Photoelectric Photometer7.1 The photoelectric photometer shall be standardized
20、asfollows:7.1.1 Using a buret, accurately measure out 2, 4, 8, 12, 16,and 20 mL portions of nickel sulfate standard solution. Theseamounts are equivalent to 0.2, 0.4, 0.9, 1.3, 1.7, and 2.1 g ofnickel per square metre (0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.12, 0.16, and 0.20g of nickel per square foot) of surface whe
21、n specimens fromthe steel surface are obtained as prescribed. (Iron in solutionthat is dissolved from the steel surfaces has a negligible effecton the nickel determinations.) Using the standard analyticalprocedures described in 8.2, determine the percent transmis-sion at a wavelength of approximatel
22、y 525 nm for each of thesix increments of nickel sulfate standard solution. Then plot agraph on appropriate graph paper of the percent light transmis-sion against the known nickel concentration representing 0.2 to2.1 g of nickel deposit per square metre of surface. Theresulting graph, which should b
23、e a straight line, will be used toobtain nickel-coating masses from light transmission results.8. Determinations of Nickel Coating Masses8.1 Sampling a Nickel-Coated Steel Surface:8.1.1 Place the weighted, rubber ring assembly on thenickel-coated metal surface. Add 3 mL of warm (approxi-mately 120F
24、(50C) HNO3(1+1).Allow the foaming reactionto proceed for about 10 s for light nickel coatings and about 15s for heavier nickel coatings. If the warm acid does not react,scratch the steel surface or try another spot. After the acid hasfoamed for the prescribed time, add 5 mL of HCl (1+5) to stopthe f
25、oaming reaction. Withdraw the solution from the steelsurface with the aspirator into the calibrated flask. Rinse thetest area twice with water and retain the washings in the flask.8.1.2 Alternative methods for determining nickel are de-scribed in Test Methods E30, Sections 62 to 70 for thegravimetri
